Scopa chairman: “I’m going to ask that legal writes to Mr De Ruyter to solicit this report from him, because it forms the basis upon which the allegations were made.'
Parliament’s standing committee on public accounts will askfor a copy of the intelligence report that implicated at least one senior ruling party politician in corruption at the company, chairperson Mkhulekho Hlengwa said on Friday.
The decision came after a three-hour question session with national presidential security adviser Sydney Mufamadi who insisted that he never briefed President Cyril Ramaphosa on the intelligence De Ruyter shared with him and Gordhan in July last year. “I know that even the police know that they cannot get an allegation and run with it to the president, then you must be able to answer the questions that the president will raise: have you verified this?
He said De Ruyter had merely told him about the investigation in passing. And, like Mufamadi, he said he did not say what the chief executive told him with the president despite telling the committee that he believed load-shedding was the result of ongoing state capture at the company. He and other committee members expressed surprise that Mufamadi did not inform Ramaphosa that the intelligence report fingered a senior ruling party politician. Hlengwa questioned whether, given what has emerged in the past five years on the extent of state capture at Eskom, the information did not demand a different response.
