Gordhan slams De Ruyter as green globetrotter

The South African minister who oversees state power utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. accused its former chief executive officer Andre de Ruyter of spending too much time promoting a transition to green energy and paying inadequate attention to fixing its broken coal-burning plants.

De Ruyter spent three turbulent years at the helm of Eskom, during which he struggled to end rolling blackouts that have crippled the economy or get its shaky finances back on track.

Watch this narrative develop further and further. Andre won't go down kindly in the ANCs history book.

He certainly wont be getting the Comrat of the Year award...

 

[uchoose]

Well now that he has gone everything should come right lol.
The BS will come out now trying to defend the thieving ANC. Billions upon billions stolen which could have created jobs and helped the poor of this country. Just give the poor enough to survive, enough medical to make them rely on the government, enough social grants to stop them starving to death. These are great communist tactics. The rich get richer and the poor remain stupid.

I love how the criminals are outing themselves.
All the ANC guys comming back acting like there is no corruption at eskom are the ones that need to be punished.

 

[Cage Rattler]

So why didn't Gordhan say anything in previous years about his complaints?

 

[6spdmanual]

Where are the fools who used to think Gordon was a “good” guy? This guy is genuinely useless. He just has a way of making himself seem like he knows his śhit

The ANC's revised and alternative history book.

That sounds like a different economic system and its tactics.

You cannot fix something that broken you stupid poeth.

 

[noxibox]

They look like they are going to milk the de Ruyter thing for all it is worth. And even non-ANC people are playing into that one, blaming de Ruyter for the current state of Eskom. Although it is pretty ridiculous for the ANC to pretend they don’t ultimately run Eskom.

And you will never see the ANC comrats go one on one with an investigative reporter on TV like De Ruyter did. Exposure will be instant like when Steven Sackur of the BBC's first question to Zuma was; - "Are you a crook?"

 

[s0lar]

poeth

 

[Pegging]

Why is a respected news agency like Bloomberg saying:

He abruptly left the company this week after giving a television interview in which he accused unidentified members of the governing African National Congress of stealing from the utility.

I thought he was ordered to leave with immediate effect?

He did but they didn't do anything about it, his interview even said he tried

 

[Iamn0tageek]

Ag ja badmouth the bra who left.

Companies I've worked at, the minute AFTER an employee resigns then everyone talks kak about he didnt do this and didnt do that

Stage 8 me bro, Stage 8 me, I can take it

 

[Adeptus Mechanicus]

I will say I do agree with Gordhan's assessment that De Ruyter was a little too "new green deal" befok.

However De Ruyter was put in place to reduce debt first and foremost, not solve an energy crisis in 2 years that was 20 years in the making.
