The Central Energy Fund has slammed former Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter over damning comments he made during a television interview on eNCA.
The CEF denied De Ruyter’s “misleading” statement that after a visit by the Russian energy minister, the CEF approached Eskom to transfer three of its power stations to CEF for a regasification programme. Admitting he was simply speculating, De Ruyter said during the interview: “About three months ago there was a visit by the Russian minister of energy to South Africa. Russia, as we know, is very long on gas following its invasion of Ukraine. It is looking for markets for gas, there is no doubt about that.
He continued: “Now maybe I am adding one and one and getting three, but in politics there is very seldom such a thing as a coincidence.” In a scathing statement, the CEF said De Ruyter was reckless to go on national television and “make wild allegations about the request for collaboration with Eskom on the coal-fired power stations that Eskom intends to decommission, as he clearly says in the interview without evidence”.
That's correct because he knew if he blames ANC everybody will be up in Arms
And I believe every word underwater said, the MYANC have 28 years of history that show them to be incompetent thieves.
Alegations so wild that all South Africans were waiting for him to tell them something they don't already know.
No he didn’t.
De Ruyter for President...
Where are the hawks. Get them in there
Eh! CEF must prove that Ander made wild accusations on TV.
It's very much in line with what we heard at the Zondo commission. Why are they suddenly slighted?
All these ones who are attacking him are benefitting from the corruption of the ANC
Ok, let’s hear your truth
He's not stupid, he will have his facts.
One question - what did he have to gain?
Who da !$ is the CEF
Then I guess the CEF is deep up the ANC butt to
Why these pple are against a whistle blower and not concerned about his safety so that he can expose those implicated they want a clean anti corrupt government MOS they are now exposing a his life to danger, Andrea is not protected by the government they all speaking ill abt him
The messenger/ whistle-blower always get shot. They protest to much. Me thinks he touched a nerve.
WHO FROM THE CEF HAD THIS TO SAY? - NAME PLEASE I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.
