Former Eskom chief executive André de Ruyter has revealed that he will be leaving South Africa due to safety concerns. This comes after De Ruyter made explosive revelations in an interview with e.TV’s journalist Annika Larsen, making allegations of crime and corruption at Eskom.

In the interview, he also accused ministers of interfering in Eskom operations and said a criminal syndicate in Mpumalanga was improperly benefiting to the tune of over R1 billion per month.

In an interview with MyBroadband, De Ruyter said he would be spending time abroad after leaving Eskom.

When asked if he was concerned that he may be murdered following the information he shared in his explosive interview, he said: “I think that will be good for my health.”
