Gordhan Urged de Ruyter To Gather Intelligence On Eskom A recent report suggests that South African Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan instructed Eskom CEO André de Ruyter to gather intelligence on the challenges facing the state-owned power utility. Eskom has been plagued by a shortage of coal, financial woes, and frequent power outages, leading to calls for urgent reform. The move has sparked controversy, with some questioning the appropriateness of a government minister instructing a CEO to gather intelligence on a state-owned company. However, others argue that it is crucial for the government to have a clear understanding of Eskom's problems and how they can be addressed.
