‘We can’t allow the image of the ANC to be battered’: Mbalula on De Ruyter’s claims: ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has dismissed claims the ruling party is trying to silence a whistle-blower after serving former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter with…
The ANC reportedly served De Ruyter with legal papers after he implicated the party in widespread corruption at the state-owned power utility.
Mbalula said De Ruyter has about a week to respond or the party will take “further steps”. He didn’t specify more about the papers or the demands.“I cannot accuse the DA or any other political party, as the ANC, about things I don’t have evidence of because it is hearsay. When we challenge De Ruyter we are told we are suppressing whistle-blowers.”saying he should have gone to a whistle-blowing office instead.
“Where did the whistle-blower go? Is the eTV studio [a] whistle-blowing office? It’s not,” Mbalula said. “When somebody convenes a one-on-one interview and says what they want to say, that is not whistle-blowing. You are basically playing to the gallery without doing what the law requires of you as the authority of the law to do.”
