Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said he was unaware of former Eskom chief executive André de Ruyter’s privately-funded intelligence gathering operation to combat corruption at the failing state-owned entity.
said on Wednesday that he was unaware of former Eskom chief executive André de Ruyter’s privately-funded intelligence gathering operation to combat corruption at the failing state-owned entity., Gordhan said the former interim chairperson of the previous Eskom board, Malegapuru Makgoba, was “misleading and misinforming Scopa and the public” when he appeared before Scopa and said Gordhan knew about the operation.
According to De Ruyter, in a discussion with Gordhan last year, he “lifted the lid slightly” on what the private investigators had uncovered, that the problem was predominantly in Mpumalanga, and that “it goes very high”. The former executive contends he told Gordhan that more than one mafia-type network was active inside Eskom and that “no fewer than five of the 16 power station managers had allegedly been compromised”.
