De Ruyter goes for round 2 on Eskom corruption in explosive De Ruyter goes for round 2 on Eskom corruption in explosive

Truth to Power: My Three Years Inside Eskom, published by Penguin Random House SA (PRHSA), has been two years in the making and was kept top-secret until it hit the shelves on Sunday. Faced with police inaction, he was compelled to plunge into a world that was foreign to him – a world of spies and safe houses, of bulletproof vests and bodyguards.While the Gupta family had been the shark swimming in the murky waters of state capture, the much smaller piranhas were feasting on Eskom’s flesh.” The author is articulate, straight to the point and clearly conveys whatever he means to say. Andre de Ruyter will deliver his message with a helpful inventory of humour and aphorisms/sayings. Given his straightforward writing style, the chapters do not feel like they drag on at all.

It’s very frustrating trying to convince someone who doesn’t listen to the data. De Ruyter had to deal with this for three years trying to convince the ANC how to solve the energy crisis. I deal with this issue in my work as well. It drains you. Before he could even launch into the performance review, I interrupted him, ‘Chair, I think the discussion may be rendered redundant by this’, and I slid a letter across the table to him. We left, and I polished my letter that evening, making sure that it was definitive but dignified, by not stooping to the petulance that sometimes characterises letters of resignation. Ben unrolled a series of A3 printouts on my desk, detailing with spider graphs a web of connections that touched just about every part of Eskom. If this was to be believed, we had become the proverbial goose that laid the golden eggs for the corrupt and the crooked. On 29 November Gwede Mantashe bizarrely accused me of behaving ‘like a policeman’ who ‘must chase the criminals’ instead of fixing the utility. Either the minister was displaying breathtaking ignorance of the enormously negative impact of crime on Eskom, or he thought that I should rather allow the crooks and comrades to continue to eat.

In a shared transport network like roads, the vehicles are identifiable and it's not trivial to use one that doesn't belong to you. If the bus system fails it's easy to switch to Uber. And those who weren't using the buses don't suffer much unless there is as severe shortage. Which will send a genuine market signal.

I know this tweet will cause major chest pains for some, so take a ‘Grandpa’ after reading it.— Ian Cameron (@IanCameron23) May 14, 2023 The implication of this transition is clear: we must bid the old Eskom farewell. The notion of a vertically integrated monolithic monopoly that meets most of the power needs of a country is as superannuated as a state-owned telephone company.'
