Maria Ramos, Absa Group former CEO, announced the big news of her stepping down from her position at the beginning of the year. During her working tenure at Barclays, she discovered that the bank was offering scholarships for university degrees in commerce.
She applied but found out later that it was only open to the male gender. Interesting to note, she did not give up, but instead, fought back to have the rules reversed.
She managed to get a chance to prove herself by sitting for the primary exams and passing. She earned herself a Banker's diploma in Suzanne Daniels battle with Eskom.
She then enrolled at the University of the Witwatersrand, and in , she obtained her Bachelor of Commerce, and in , she was conferred with Honors in Economics from the same university. When she came in as the Group Chief Executive of Transnet Limited from — , the businesswoman is largely credited with helping to get the rail organisation back on track. She had a similarly impressive seven-year stint as the Director-General of the Treasury beforehand.
The task ahead of her is thankless, and success is far from guaranteed. Nonetheless, this could be the type of sensible, pragmatic appointment Eskom have needed after years of chaos. We must reject with all the contempt it deserves, any appointment of Maria Ramos to head up the unbundling of Eskom.
