'If you are in charge the buck stops with you.""Was he more interested in writing a book that would mask his legacy in terms of performance as far as Eskom is concerned?" "He is not a messenger. He was in charge of an institution." COMMENT | De Ruyter explains in his book that he did not want to hand over his personal information to the SSA, that only wanted to start the vetting after he was in the job for more that two years.

Gordhan says this comment is a huge insult to all South Africans who"want the country to succeed". De Ruyter made the comment in his new book Truth to Power that was published this weekend. He also provides ample evidence over serious policy deficiencies to back it up.Gordhan says Scopa must call De Ruyter back to testify and provide namesIntelligence dossiers have done damage to South Africa and its institutions.

Gordhan is now dealing with Makgoba's claim that he gave approval for intelligence gathering and implied he gave approval for a problematic"R50 million" project - the Fivaz probe. Six months after Hitachi signed R38 billion in contracts with Eskom in July 2008, it paid R1.2 million to ANC front company Chancellor House on the strength of an invoice submitted by the politically connected entity for"Tender support fee – Bravo".

Whatever the origins of corruptions - those who are found to be corrupt, where there is sufficient evidence"must be dealt with by the law".Gordhan highlights Zondo Commission findings about Eskom, Special Investigating Unit probes, and Eskom's own forensic probes.
