Eskom is the ANC's feeding trough — De Ruyter comes out guns blazing in interview

Outgoing Eskom CEO André de Ruyter believes South African politicians — particularly those in the ANC — are complicit in corruption and power station sabotage that has hammered the utility.

In an hour-long interview on eTV's My Guest Tonight with Annika Larsen, De Ruyter gave his perspective on the underlying causes for Eskom's continued struggle with corruption and the poor performance of its generating fleet.

Jan, this can't be right ... because if this is right, then we are rightly F U C K E D!

Guessing he's not going to be there until the end of March after all.

The minister said that De Ruyter had to be “pragmatic”.

“In order to pursue the greater good, you have to enable some people to eat a little bit,” they said, according to De Ruyter.

Well done André. Show them for what they really are.

Guns blazing? The man was being reserved.

What? You think this is due to things like operational costs/inflation etc? No, its for looting, and the farkers who keep approving the increases are in on it too, guaranteed

Well done André. Show them for what they really are.

Show what, that the ANC is corrupt? Who didn't know that?

He just signed his death warrant by not dropping names and evidence. Now they might be tempted to take him out before he reveals too much.

Let's say he named Gweezy and had the evidence to back it up. Gweezy's opponents might be tempted to off him to frame Gweezy. Gweezy would be forced to protect the guy who just outed him to prevent suspicion falling onto him. The ANC is at war with itself.

For a smart guy he has the tendency to do dumb things...

 

[McGuywer]

We need more whistle blowers. Expose them!

I would not be surprised when De Ruyter suddenly dies accidentally.

 

[porchrat]

R1 billion a month is just insane levels of looting.

 

[dualmeister]

De Ruyter leaving Eskom.

 

[AlphaJohn]

What is a billion a month?

I mean we talking about the same Goverment that was running with Covid's:

R1 billion a month is just insane levels of looting.

Sometimes think we're better off not knowing the extent to which the ANC pillage this country. And people think Zapiro was being too harsh by using a rape metaphor.

That's what he said. Doesn't mean it's right, but it wouldn't surprise me, everything we've learned...

Tagging @Hanno Labuschagne — he listened to the whole thing.

In the case that happens, the state can be considered hostile.
