CFO Aitken appointed interim CEO of Tongaat

Embattled sugar producer Tongaat Hulett has announced that its CFO Rob Aitken will take over as interim CEO from March 1.

This follows CEO Dan Marokane being appointed as CEO of State-owned power utility Eskom. Marokane will, however, work with the Tongaat team and business rescue practitioners until the end of February to ensure a smooth handover.
