South African Federation of Trade Unions leader Zwelinzima Vavi has laid charges against former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter.
In a letter dated 23 February, Vavi asked De Ruyter to present evidence that he reported to police his interaction with a minister he told about a senior politician involved in looting funds and allegations about R1 billion that was"extorted" monthly at Eskom.The former Eskom CEO failed to respond to the union's letter, which News24 has seen, prompting the charges.
He also called for De Ruyter to explain why he, or any other official from Eskom, did not report the"criminal activities of syndicates" in Mpumalanga to the police. According to the act, people with knowledge of corrupt behaviour by a person of authority are legally obligated to report it, and failure to do so is considered an offence.
During an explosive interview with eNCA's journalist Annika Larsen last month, De Ruyter disclosed that he told a Cabinet member about high-end politicians and sabotage at Eskom, led by four crime cartels.
