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”.
What does that even mean because every South African knows that Eskom is looted by politicians, rogue elements who work there as well are destroying the entity 🤷
