The lackadaisical approach of the SAPS and the Hawks to investigating corruption at Eskom was on full display at Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts on Tuesday, as MPs struggled to get straight answers on what they had done when alerted to allegations of sabotage and organised crime by former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter in June 2022.
The committee has called everyone connected to allegations made in an explosive interview on eNCA in February, in which De Ruyter said, among other things, that the SAPS, Hawks, and State Security Agency had been slow, or done nothing, to react to information given to them by himself and Eskom nearly a year ago.
De Ruyter appeared before the committee two weeks ago, putting much of the information he had gathered from a private investigation on the record again.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.
