Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan has confirmed that he was the minister former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter talked to about another senior official allegedly benefiting from the corruption at Eskom but he dismissed these as 'allusions'.
“Yes he has made allusions about certain individuals but it was precisely that, allusions. And as far as the law is concerned, as far as my understanding of the law is concerned, I can't just arbitrarily point to someone and say that person is involved in whatever the suggestion is.”
“There's a distinction between that and evidence,” he stressed, adding that if De Ruyter had evidence of wrongdoing, he must report it to law enforcement agencies. Pressed on whether he believed De Ruyter had the evidence to back up his claims, Gordhan said it was probable that he did given the former's involvement in investigations at the utility into the various mafias operating there.
Daily Maverick published a story on Monday apparently linking two ministers to four cartels operating within Eskom.
