Boardroom Talk: After bombshell interview, Andre de Ruyter labeled “right-wing naysayer” by ANC.
By Alec Hogg
For some people, Andre de Ruyter has become a modern-day Samson, risking his life by pushing at the pillars holding up SA's deeply corrupted electricity supply monopoly, and in a courageous interview (see below) 'outed' the political party which has funneled more than R500bn from SA taxpayers to keep the criminal enterprise going. For others, as you'll read in the FT's reporting of the ANC's response at the bottom of this mailer, he has succumbed to right-wing political idealogy so fully deserved to be called treasonous by the energy minister.
Those two camps have similar differences in opinion about activist crime fighter Ian Cameron, who came into SA's spotlight last year after taking on the police minister in a public meeting (video above). Cameron has agreed to deliver a keynote at next week's BizNews Conference in the Drakensberg. He'll provide context on how SA got into the crime-infested mess – and how we can get out of it.
