Given the revelations at the Zondo Commission and former CEO Andre de Ruyter’s comments about the power utility, it was with total disbelief that I read that the new electricity minister, Kgosientso “Sputla” Ramokgopa says fraud and corruption are not a problem at Eskom. The only conclusion I can arrive at is that he has been placed in this position not to resolve the real problems at Eskom but to try to create the impression that the ANC government is not as corrupt as we are being led to.
