SA's ultimate whistleblower Andre de Ruyter on his bestseller documenting ANC's Eskom plundering

Former Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter is taking no chances after publishing his instant bestseller Truth To Power, which exposes the ANC's plundering of South Africa's national electricity utility. De Ruyter has refused any in-person engagement - but did agree to an "email interview" with Alec Hogg of BizNews. In it, the filter-free executive answers the big questions about load-shedding, criminality and what's next for Eskom. Also, what he learned from his three years of running SA's "largest organised crime syndicate". Eskom has required R500bn in direct bailouts from SA taxpayers. Still, its inability to deliver a steady electricity supply has cost the country even more through lost economic growth, lower investment, and destroyed jobs. So the book is a must.
