The board was before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) on Wednesday to respond to De Ruyter’s claims.
CAPE TOWN - Eskom board chairperson Mpho Makwana said that the company’s former CEO, Andre de Ruyter, was being portrayed as a victim after his explosive television interview about corruption at Eskom.
"There’s a broad view that wants to position Mr De Ruyter as a victim, to position him as whistleblower."He could not be allowed to linger in the corridors, merely to test allegations. LD Makwana said that it was speculative for the committee to assume that De Ruyter shared details of a private corruption investigation with them.
He said that De Ruyter also didn’t inform the board about the investigation into an alleged poisoning incident at his office.
