As previously reported, de Ruyter appeared virtually before SCOPA a fortnight ago to account for the allegations he made in a bombshell televised interview in which he spoke about corruption, fraud and criminal cartels at Eskom. He also agreed with a suggestion put to him that the power utility was a feeding trough for the ANC and that a high-ranking ANC member had a hand in the dodgy dealings.
SCOPA members pressed him for the names of implicated individuals. However, he refused to divulge more information and told the SCOPA he had informed law enforcement about the allegations.
