Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan kicks the ball back to De Ruyter.
Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan says he won’t name any politicians who have been implicated in alleged corruption at Eskom by former chief executive Andre de Ruyter., where he claimed that high-level politicians from the ANC were aware of and involved in corruption at the embattled power utility.
He argued that mentioning names would merely smear the individuals with no basis, adding that much harm has been done in the past by following so-called intelligence reports that proved to be entirely incorrect. Gordhan said he was not given any copy of any report of the investigation – and as such, he cannot give names of people as the investigation was incomplete. “I saw a diagram,” he said.“Furthermore, it would seem to me that there were weekly reports that de Ruyter received from this project. So I would ask that Scopa request that de Ruyter, or the people who conducted the investigation, or those who have had subsequently gained access to the report provide details on names of individuals.
