The ANC has denied allegations of political meddling and corruption at Eskom, saying that former CEO Andre de Ruyter needs to show evidence of wrongdoing or keep his ‘right-wing’ views to himself.In an explosive interview with journalist Annika Larsen on Tuesday evening , De Ruyter accused the governing party of using the embattled state-owned power utility as a “feeding trough”, saying that corruption was entrenched in the government and its dealings with the company.
In doing so, he “unmasked his regressive political and ideological agenda”, Mbalula said, adding that De Ruyter was advertising “right-wing ideology”. Echoing the sentiments of Public Enterprises minister – and fellow ANC comrade – Pravin Gordhan, Mbalula said that De Ruyter’s political views should be kept private.
De Ruyter also alleged that there were attempts to water down governance around the $8.5 billion conditional loans inbound from rich countries such as the UK, Germany and the Netherlands – and that there was a “vociferous rejection” of the Just Energy Transition because there was “no way for the comrades to eat”.
No. You prove HIM wrong. He’s no longer under any allegiance to you.He KNOWS and now we KNOW. The ANC comes out bleating again. Blah blah bloody blah. We KNOW and it’s what we’ve thought all along.
How do you show a corrupt person evidence 🤷
Oh how me and the rest of SA wishes he does.
