"I was shocked by the interview...how dare André tell the truth about this corruption. Doesn't he know this is South Africa and all we do is steal?" Is what Pravin wanted to say.
These South African ministers are not use to being "caught out", truth being told. Blame shifting due to a bruised ego....denail? Denialism is a thing with the SA parliament.
@AB Harris I think de Ryter let the ANC know of the issues and he was blocked by them to do anything or they said they would look into it... like they look into everything. I believe that He trusted them too much to sort out problems. I think he should've given names and been more aggressive with handling the corruption by getting private security involved.
You and rest of your cohorts destroyed all of our SOE's. You sit there waxing political, blaming everyone but yourselves. You messed Pravin. Restore the grid.
Interesting how these Ministers always "know nothing" The President is always "shocked" I am almost certain these cadres are put in positions and simply left to do as they wish!
why should they be worried when Zondo who is CJ, and living under Ramaphosa load shedding, make lectures today, blaming Zuma. while worshipping Pravin and Ramaphosa as saviors
If Gordan knew about the corruption and did nothing, then he is involved, if he did not know, then he is incompetent! Either way he should be held responsible!
@Die Nar pravin needs to go to the old age home, if he says there's a lil corruption and not do anything, then he's either another anc looting dog or his old age has gotten to him, either way pravin needs to go
Actually it is amazing that the corruption was exploited ON Carteblanché and that the minister sitting in he’s chair saying he knows nothing about the corruption is mind blowing 🤯
I have the same thoughts. What a disgrace it is to realize after só many years that he fooled me. A real crook can fool you for long-long time. That makes the disappointment so much worse
They all know about the crime syndicates but they don’t do anything. This country is dying on the ANC’s watch. They have taken us as far as they could, it’s time to move on from them.
Pravin run to afriforum for help awile ago... He knows about the corrupt at eskom... Now he blames Andre... In my eyes Andre is a hero with values... Anc is busy hanging the self's with them lies... Fools
Rama doesn't know about the ship and pravin doesn't know what day of the week it is😂😂😂😂these people are something else,and they are leaders of a whole big country with 65 million inhabitants 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pravin is trying to place the full blame for the failure at Eskom on the shoulders of Andre De Ryter and refuses to accept that fraud and corruption as well as non assistance from Government to help De Ryter with the problems that he identified that had to be dealt with, has to be blamed. At the end of everything we the man in the street has to suffer the consequences of this blame game and also pay from our measly earnings.
Indeed but the citizens of this country are submissive to these type of things that’s also one of the reasons as to why we can’t move forward we just accept the way things are no amount of frustration will help solve it if we the citizens actually do the walking instead of the talking things can change…..but come next year elections… water will still be wet and the anc will still be in power😅
@@stevedevilliers2386 Correct Steve. Like I am fond of saying "apathy eventually DEMANDS a terrible price" and the price is now due. And those behind this crap happening WORLDWIDE knows this fact, they are "collecting."
Well.. let's be fair.. we all know they gave the White man the job so they can blame everything on him and apartheid. So we can't be surprised that ANC ministers is doing EXACTLY what we all knew was their plan..
It is a disgrace that the minister who destroyed about all SOEs, tries to shift the blame on De Ruyter. The key question remains: what did you do to prevent corruption Minister?
In the end, when the Guptas left SA, people know the corrupt minister, is Pravin, people know the person who captured SOE is Pravin. Zondo should be ashamed of his corrupt report, that left the corrupt thieves at Eskom out, while praising the crooked Pravin
Pravin Gordhan is an embrassement to the Indian community and the South African citizens. He should have fixed eskom , He was more interested in building his bank balance.
Gordon won't last very long I think. He sounds very tired over RSG news. He's definitely trying to shift the blame. It was an impossible task for Andre De Ruiter to work under this rotten circumstances.
What is more important, the book or the blackouts. Utter incompetents in charge. Small minded, jealous, greedy, thieves. Everything AdR has said has proven true.
True. He was in charge & in his tenure thing got worse now he has the audacity to write a book instead of talking to the parliament & public. They are ALL cut from the same cloth.
Gordhan failed for once to support AdR (prev. Eskom CEO). GP appears to know about the ongoing corruption and it seems he washed his hands as the MINISTER.
Another 30%er "contribution" from a senior government official. What a hoax!!. Perhaps a commission should represent these guys for future engagements?
"...a separation from the state and the party..."! Are you kidding me? The party is running the state! Cyril, before then DCJ Zondo, equivocally said that he is "a party animal"! We just need to get rid of the ANC poste haste! The minister was ultimately repsonsible for ESKOM! His now absolving himself from responsibility!
The african national congress has brought this country to its knees, madiba is turning in his grave.. nobody should support these people at all... even internationals should avoid and enquire about the corruption !
Now they cancelled all planned maintenance, making it look like there's no loadshedding, when in fact they are just deferring the total blackout for a few months. I hope it happens before the elections
So.. what I can assume, as Pravin does not want to answer. Sooo, the chances are good then that Pravin is the Minister who is the one who is working with these Mafias.. Since he would Definetly be redirecting to get the eyes away from him while he covers his tracks
Gordhan just sounds so very tired and all he could do is complain about the previous CEO who had been there for 3 years - we all believe that the ANC have been at this Eskom feeding trough for years because hey the pigs need to eat, who would have thought that the feeding would become a frenzy and those pigs were getting fatter and fatter, so much so that they are now obese - and still feeding
Typical...fix the goddamn Eskom...no one cares who was to blame now. Once you fixed it, then do an investigation. Anyway, we all know: its broken, and we are in the dark. Literally.
It's like playing "guess who is corrupt" every time I see anyone from the ANC talking . The sad part is that I'm sure there are some members who want to change things, but most of them are reeling in the money from corruption
Mr Minsiter , you have failed all South Africans , it's time you stepped down and give someone else who is competent and qualified in electrical and power generation to take over ...and while you at it , please take uncle Cyril and all the other pentioners with you....the ANC government has destroyed a beautiful country.....
And right here is where I loose respect for Gordhan. To blame De Ruyter the way he did is disingenuous. NOBODY would have done a better job. André de Ruyter was up against ANC instituted and backed Mafia clans running corruption in Eskom. The only POSSIBLE solution is to get rid of the ANC and get any anc cadres out of Eskom - Head Office as well as the individual power stations. The corruption is primarily in the Procurement offices where the anc cadres is awarding contracts to cronies.
What Gordan fails to realise is that the buck stops with him. He is responsible for fixing the SOE. But the "it wasn't me' attitude is so deeply ingrained
De Ruyter can not resolve issues at Eskom because: 1) he inherited a basket of BEE tender beneficiaries that were 'qualified' to serve ESKOM based on BEE legislation; 2) he has no powers to opt out of such appointees or change the BEE scoring process; 3) although he reported the matter to most of the SAPS agencies, he cannot force these to do their job; 4) he raised it with the Minister and other state officers and seemed to have been met with slander & accusations; 5) when he attempted to weed out corruption, he was poisoned and was very lucky to have survived; 6) seems that every attempt he made to clean up decades of corruption and abuse was met with threats and resistance; 7) now the state blames De Ruyter of his "inadequate" management of ESKOM!! 8) now the state declares itself totally blameless - purely an innocent observer!! If De Ruyter had simply said nothing and never acted to halt obvious fraud, everything would have been simply swept under the carpet and get another round of bailout would have been agreed; with the consumer left to carry the burden by increased costs year after year. Time for the state to stop kicking the can down the road. Their ill conceived 'empowerment' policies and inaction are ruining the country. Every one of the SOE's are disastrously managed and pose a drain on the economy. Each one of these would never survive as a privately run company. They'd all simply go bankrupt and fade away into the mists of time. The only reason they exist at all is to underpin the social engineering policies which amount to get rich schemes that 'uplift' a few well placed individuals close to the levers of power. Essentially the state is running the country alike a massively large 'ponzi scheme' - the victims are the thousands of hardworking citizens that are forced to pay into the scheme via fees, fines and tariffs the state imposes. The end result? The embedded stagflation SA has faced the last 2 decades. Entrench unemployment and an ever growing state dependency of which are included highly paid officials both at state and local government level. What amounts to a crude form of 'round tripping' of funds from state coffers and private sector resources. A fools paradise in which the appearances of social upliftment is resulting in the very stagflation the SARB is attempting to curb by increasing the cost of leveraging which will have the exact opposite effect as the private sector will reduce economic expansion in line with capital costs; thereby reducing the potential to create employment. In turn the state will attempt to bolster it ill conceived policy by employing even more people within the state - adding yet ever more inflation to an already far stretched economy. Simply a reciepy for disaster. All we need is for further foolhardy steps to be taken in the foreign policy department to end SA's participation in Algoa.
Our Power production is being privatized silently in the background the same way as the police, postofffice, education etc has been. The state is busy eating and destroying itself. SA will become a place of more inequality where the competent will have and the incompetent will have not
I don't think Andre De Reyter focused on writing a book. He has kept the government and the public abreast of what he was doing. The ANC is the sole shareholder, so Gordhan is talking through his neck.
Talking about 'corporate governance', the Acting CEO has been the CFO of Eskom for 20 years! What has he been doing about all this corruption? What happened to forensic auditing?
irrespective of what de ruyter said or did or didn’t, focussing on the ‘man’ and not the ball is disappointing from a stalwart that many of us held with such respect and as a role model. until the zuma era, the ANC always occupied the higher ground, which is what attracted many of us to the ANC and for which we relentlessly supported it. as far as i know, nomatter the circumstances, oliver tambo, ahmed khatrada, justice sachs, joe slovo, pres mandela, also pres mbeki et al, never ever went for the ‘man’. nomatter what anyone thought or thinks of them, their focus was on the mission. perhaps it’s when we have lost sight of the single simple clear and focussed mission of creating ‘a better life for all’ that the higher ground is lost, and we find ourselves on the low road where the narrative is defined by others, and we go there?
What 'higher ground' are you referring to? They were corrupt even in Mandela's time with the arms deal debacle. They are and always were a scam syndicate. People are just opening their eyes to it now.
@@mervinmarias9283 remember the moral, social, economic, cultural, broederbond first, jobs for pals, vlakplaas, etc. corruption of apartheid? about 100 years of higher ground compared to that.
How long was Mr Gordan responsible for Escom? The bug being passed as usual. Does Mr Gordan look in a mirror and take any responsibility? Please accept some responsibility, stop the blame game and fix the mess the ANC Goverment caused.
SOE means STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISE - Meaning which ever political party is in government is responsible as they are the state and they own the enterprise!
So, minister Gordhan, if you have known about the companies and institutions who have been feeding off Eskom all these years, why have you not done anything about it????
We see and live the results, no amount of word gymnastics will fix it ,it is high time the south African population begins voting wirh intelligence instead of association.
The whole lot of these so called ministers need to retire and go........these ppl are no ways taking the country forward...merry go round and round talks..Shocking and embarrassing reality.
Minister Gordhan, the primary fools to which De Ruyter refers in his book is you, Minister Mantashe and Minister Patel. You can all save SA by simply resigning, better still the South African public can vote the ANC out of power in the 2024 elections.
GOD is busy dealing with this arrogant, wicked, thieving thugs!!! HE will never allow this kind of evil to remain unpunished. If they are shocked now, wait until they hear where they are all going to end up. God cannot be bribed and He cannot be fooled.
"I was shocked by the interview...how dare André tell the truth about this corruption. Doesn't he know this is South Africa and all we do is steal?" Is what Pravin wanted to say.
Yes that's what he meant
Pravin is a worse thief than the Guptas
Well I PRAVIN had his head permanently in the troph and his fat hand in the cookie jar and ramaposa is worse

De Ruyter can not resolve issues at Eskom because:
1) he inherited a basket of BEE tender beneficiaries that were 'qualified' to serve ESKOM based on BEE legislation;
2) he has no powers to opt out of such appointees or change the BEE scoring process;
3) although he reported the matter to most of the SAPS agencies, he cannot force these to do their job;
4) he raised it with the Minister and other state officers and seemed to have been met with slander & accusations;

GORDON will be unemployed if not living in SA
So, minister Gordhan, if you have known about the companies and institutions who have been feeding off Eskom all these years, why have you not done anything about it????
wake up anc voters what is the selling price on a country
Why’s he not in the pharmacy if he’s a pharmacist? What’s he doing in finance, eskom , politics? That says enough about this individual.
We see and live the results, no amount of word gymnastics will fix it ,it is high time the south African population begins voting wirh intelligence instead of association.
The whole lot of these so called ministers need to retire and go........these ppl are no ways taking the country forward...merry go round and round talks..Shocking and embarrassing reality.
Shifting the blame, straight out of the ANC playbook. The sleasy coward's way.
Corporate governance?!? Ha, place is falling apart
Another good story to tell. RIGHT?
Living a king's life with that double chin.
Blaming game = lack of accountability = lack of leadership = failed state
Minister Gordhan, the primary fools to which De Ruyter refers in his book is you, Minister Mantashe and Minister Patel. You can all save SA by simply resigning, better still the South African public can vote the ANC out of power in the 2024 elections.
The ANC has messed this country up terribly and they all should be ashamed to play the blame game continues ly like a broken record
It’s like giving a broken down ship to a captain, then when the ship breaks down you blame it on the captain…
Im placing a picture of Mr Pravin Gordhan on the wall behind my garage - To show my kids what a criminal actually looks like
Yes Pravin, you are fools, you said it! I am so disgusted with you 😮
GOD is busy dealing with this arrogant, wicked, thieving thugs!!! HE will never allow this kind of evil to remain unpunished. If they are shocked now, wait until they hear where they are all going to end up. God cannot be bribed and He cannot be fooled.
Just fix the grid and stop this ping pong game you okes are playing.

Yes you right he is a HERO. You need to crawl out with your nappie.
