De Ruyter refuses to name alleged corrupt minister

File


Eskom's former CEO André de Ruyter says he cannot name the individuals allegedly involved in corrupt activities at the utility as these allegations now form part of an active investigation. 

He appeared virtually before Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts on Wednesday after he made a number of explosive claims of criminality at Eskom against a high-level politician and the ANC during a TV interview. 

De Ruyter told committee members that they may have to engage with law enforcement authorities on the sources he's relied on and the details of the allegations. 

"In regard to the nature of the alleged criminal and unlawful activities, the sources that I have relied on to inform law enforcement and intelligence agencies have legitimate reasons to fear for their safety. I am therefore not able to divulge their identities", he said. 

De Ruyter said the unlawful activities he highlighted were under investigation and were sensitive and complex.
