Did Andre de Ruyter make the right call?

[Grubscrew]

Unfortunately, and the way the cadres work, soon to be RIP AdR.

Some minor moron might attempt such, but the higher ups know that this won't be an ideal solution and would just make it worse for them.

 

[Brian_G]

Too many unknowns, and will remain that way until there's accountability. But Andre has given his all, who can blame him for saying enough already.

 

[neoprema]

Right call yes.

Will it help, no.

Unfortunately when almost the entire Gov is criminal its really just an exercise in futility. They will deny everything he's said and start burying evidence (And people) fast as they re-adjust how to steal.

 

[Brian_G]

I thought the question would be did he make the right call by giving the tell-all interview. Leaving with immediate effect was not his decision to make, he was fired with immediate effect because of his interview.

His interview had consequences which he knew it would, so was still his decision.

 

[neoprema]

We also need to remember the culture we're dealing with.

To the average African businessman, skimming, "commission", "feeding at the trough", "having something to eat as well" - is just common everyday normality. Its not viewed as something bad, unjust, criminal etc.

To change that is impossible. I see it every time I travel to certain countries in Africa. If they're willing to force non-profits to bribe them to deliver food to their starving dying people, trust me - stealing from your "rich" power utility is keeping none of them up at night.

Yes it is worth watching unless you love head in the sand vibes.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

right call, absolutely,
exposing the ANC for the Corrupt idiots they are?
unless he goes into hiding in Switzerland next, not sure if that's beneficial to his long term health

as the Cadres are bound to be less than pleased he has exposed their dealings. and turned off the flow of feed to the piggy trough.

Where are all the twats who said he was just an incapable leader?

Doing the Safrican thing - lying low until the heat wears off

 

[WollieVerstege]

Wonder who is going to take his job now after that interview

 

[AlphaJohn]

Would have liked more evidence based accusations.

Who knows maybe he has some tucked away but it would be great to get it out ASAP where no one can dispute or claim false accusations.

 

[Anthro]

Dude needs to hop on a plane pronto (if he hasn't already)

He leaves today, family already out

Prolly his safety net, and damage already done to the anc should hopefully be enough.

It's the best decision he's made in a while.

Some or other zombie from the trough will take up the post

AdR is judged on race and there will always be those saying he's an incapable leader .

 

[Nerfherder]

Did Andre de Ruyter make the right call by leaving Eskom with immediate effect?

Well yes, for his own sake.
It might be better for us if he had stayed but then again perhaps we need someone who is willing to be a bit more gangster.

 

[Quicks]

Wonder who is going to take his job now after that interview

Someone who do not care and also wants his / her chance to eat? Pretty sure there are many ANC cadres lining up for a chance to turn a blind eye to corruption, for the right price.

 

[LCBXX]

Was it up to him to leave early? Reports say that the Eskom board dismissed him with immediate effect.

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

For the country, yes best decision for him to leave immediately
