When Andre de Ruyter took office in 2019 as the newly minted CEO of Eskom, he was confident that he could help turn things around at the embattled national power utility. But after three years at the helm of one of the country’s most critical institutions, he threw in the towel. Amid a sensational “intelligence” report alleging deep corruption orchestrated by a politically connected coal mafia operating inside Eskom, De Ruyter took his leave. Now he’s in a secret location as the ANC seeks to serve papers on him for defamation. From his international hideout, De Ruyter speaks to Carte Blanche.
