'To pursue the greater good, you have to enable some people to eat a little bit.' 🤔💭 Former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter in parliament refusing to name ministers enabling corruption at Eskom💡 TheCitizenNews Eskom loadshedding DerRuyter Catch up here🔽
“When we pointed out that there was one particular high-level politician that was involved in this, the minister in question looked at the senior official and said, ‘I guess it was inevitable that this would come out anyway’. Which suggests that this wasn’t news [to them].
“I must just press that at no time was the discussion about broader elements of poor governance or any condonation by the minister concerned of that nature so I would not want the statement to be characterised by the minister that there was a broad allowance made for people to eat or participate in funding. I don’t think that it can be construed as a general approval or support of the corruption and theft that is still ongoing at Eskom,” he said.
“What they did with that information I am not aware, although subsequently there has been progress made,” he said.“I don’t think it is in the interests of the oversight role of Scopa and the nature of the engagement that I disclose this today. I don’t think that is a critical element, it is not important and I, therefore, propose that we move on.”
