ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has called former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter a 'naysayer' and 'right wing', saying he had failed to meet his mandate of turning around the power utility and had instead ventured into the political arena. | ZintleMahlati
Eskom spokesperson Sikhonathi Mantshantsha told Talk Radio 702 that the utility's board believed De Ruyter had brought the entity into disrepute.
"Mr De Ruyter was appointed strictly to lead the turnaround at Eskom into a functional public enterprise that provides the country with stable electricity. He has completely failed to deliver on this contractual obligation."Instead, he shifts the goalposts by advertising his right-wing ideological posture on a matter that falls outside the scope of his employment contract.
Former ANC national executive committee member and minister Derek Hanekom tweeted that if De Ruyter had any evidence of corruption and the involvement of certain ministers, he should expose it.
