South Africa Eskom Energy Probe - Ex-Chief Won't Name Names: SouthAfrica
A couple of months after de Ruyter alleged someone tried to poison him by putting cyanide in his coffee at his office, he engaged in an interview with a local news channel. His appearance Wednesday before parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts stems from what he revealed then about the level of corruption in Eskom.
Despite being offered parliamentary privilege Wednesday, de Ruyter wasn't willing to name the politician he alleges is involved in the graft nor the government minister he claims tolerates it. Pravin Gordhan is the minister of public enterprises under which Eskom falls. Gordhan has previously admitted to having a conversation with de Ruyter about criminality at the power company but has denied saying corruption should be tolerated."I think that is a question that will be able to be answered by Minister Gordhan. He should be able to answer that question," de Ruyter said."To my recollection I did mention it to him, and he would be best placed to respond to that.
