Andre de Ruyter in trouble

Reading the article, the SIU has a valid case. If ADR hired private investigators and shared state information with them, then this is a serious issue. A very serious one. A CEO is an employee, and sharing confidential and private company information to a third party without consent from the board is a huge issue. I imagine Fivas is having some sleepless nights too.
The procurement allegation can be dealt with, but the PI one, if proven, could land ADR in some serious hot water, and could be escalated to additional charges - potentially treason.

Why are they suddenly so worried about the internal affairs of Eskom being exposed when the fvcking Zupta cabal gutted the thing and shipped its wealth offshore years ago? Where was the determination to stop the destruction of Eskom under the Zupta regime?

It is all bullsh*t. AdR exposed the filth for what they are and now they are scrambling to discredit him.

Because it's a lie that they are "suddenly" so worried, this is not the first ever SIU investigation into Eskom, they have done plenty investigations and have recovered a lot of money on behalf of Eskom, the only difference now is that our hero is implicated.

The board at the time could also find themselves in trouble, this looks like a dereliction of duty on their side.

Indeed, although they'd have had to know and approve of it in the first case. ADR's point I guess was that how can a company appoint itself to be investigated. However a business of this size should be doing this when there are potential issues?

Source of all this money recovered?

Sure, at least it seems you are aware they have been active at Eskom, unlike someone who believes they suddenly got interested because they have an agenda against De Ruyter.

Here you go.

The problem is that there seems to be no paper trail that supports that, at that level you don't just meet at a coffee shop and give each other permission.

The SIU only started targeting the Gupta/Koko cabal in 2020.

The Guptas left the country in 2016 and Koko left Eskom in 2018. The Tegeta scandal gained traction in 2017.

Cannot even begin to compare the difference in urgency here, because doing their jobs under the Zuma regime was not politically expedient. Now it is politically expedient to tarnish AdR. Everything is compromised and captured in this country and the level of urgency and response is determined by who stands to win/lose politically.
 
This imbecile deserves all the sht coming his way for getting in bed with the ruling party.

The SIU was almost an unknown entity during Zuma's time, for obvious reasons. The urgency you are seeing is in your imagination because you are under the impression that they are targeting De Ruyter, even when it is proven that their investigations started even before De Ruyter sat foot at Megawatt Park.
 
Baaaaaaaaaaah

Yeah I'm no fan of the guy, but I haven't seen them go after the ones who signed up for the Gupta coal contracts...

True but guptas operated on cash (havala etc) and shell companies which I doubt can ever be proven. I am sure Ruyter probably violated some technicalities at best and I would be surprised if his pals benefited.

In any case, Batohi is definitely sleeping on the job. She created lot of hype when she joined 4+ years ago.
 
They are just upset that he upset the apple cart.

De Ruyter still pointed out that buyers at Eskom were walking around with Louis Vuitton handbags.
And now there are buyers in court over taking kickbacks.

Did any of the previous Eskom heads say anything about such things?

The fact people have nice handbags and cars would have zero relevance. At this point it would be down to facts, and I think the ANC will be giving the SIU all the support and motivation they need. They're looking for a scapegoat and ADR should have chosen legal avenues (even if his intention was sound and just). I feel for him. I doubt he's sleeping well these days.

No, because they are not petty little men judging woman on their choice of handbag
 
This just appears like a political deflection plan to divert the attention from the real issues within the government run mafia.
