Tot agt maande gelede het Andr\u00e9 de Ruyter nie veel gehad om oor te glimlag nie. Hy het \u2019n aanslag op sy lewe oorleef toe hy vergiftig is, en vakbonde en politici het sy kop ge\u00ebis.<\/p>

By die Toyota US Woordfees gesels die voormalige uitvoerende hoof van Eskom met ons uit Amerika en elke nou en dan verskyn \u2019n bre\u00eb glimlag op sy gesig.<\/p>

Wat hom laat glimlag, is dat sy openbaarmaking van die misdaadsindikate en ongebreidelde korrupsie en diefstal by Eskom, waaroor hy in die moeilikheid by die politieke base beland het, selfs groter is as wat hy in sy boek Truth to Power: My three years inside Eskom<\/em> beskryf.<\/p>

Die ander ding wat hom laat glimlag: Dat die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens aan die voorpunt staan van die ondersoeke, en nie die dikwels polities gelaaide Valke of polisie nie.\u00a0<\/p>

Dan natuurlik ook as hy praat oor die nuwe rigting wat sy beroepslewe ingeslaan het: Hy en sy gesin bevind hulle in Connecticut in die VSA, waar hy aan Yale Universiteit oor openbare beleid met betrekking tot groen krag en die oorgang van tradisionele kragopwekkingsmetodes, asook befondsingmodelle daarvoor, klasgee.<\/p>

Hy het Saterdag uit Amerika ingeskakel vir die gesprek met Dirk Hermann, bestuurshoof van Solidariteit, prof. Malegapuru Makgoba, \u2019n voormalige Eskom-voorsitter en Ghaleb Cachalia, die DA se woordvoerder oor openbare ondernemings. Die gesprek in die EasyEquities Skrywersfees in die Boektent by die Toyota US Woordfees is gelei deur die politieke ontleder en dosent\u00a0 in politieke studies en internasionale betrekkinge, dr. Piet Croucamp.<\/p>

\u201cWat nou op die lappe kom,\u201d s\u00ea De Ruyter in antwoord op Croucamp se vraag of hy goed teruggehou het in die boek, \u201cmaak dit duidelik die kriminaliteit en korrupsie by Eskom is selfs groter as wat ek in die boek beskryf.\u201d<\/p>

Hy bevestig ook sy vorige stellings dat Eskom in sy huidige vorm nie volhoubaar is nie.<\/p>

\u201cEen groot probleem is dat Nersa, wat die tariewe bepaal, so agter is met aanpassings dat indien hy nou die prys van elektrisiteit sou aanpas na waar dit behoort te wees, die skok vir die ekonomie te groot gaan wees. Die koste om kragopwekkingskapasiteit te vervang, is groot \u2013 en ons kragstasies is verouderd en word nie onderhou nie. Daar is regtig nie meer \u2019n opsie nie \u2013 Eskom moet ontbondel word en die verskillende eenhede moet die ruimte kry om onafhanklik te groei.\u201d<\/p>

As voorstaander van groen energie, of alternatiewe vorme van kragopwekking, staan hy vas.<\/p>

\u201cWindplase, krag op dakke (sonpanele). Wat son en wind produseer, moet aan die kragnetwerk gekoppel word, maar die regering staan steeds in die pad daarvan. Ons beweeg nie vinnig genoeg, of met oortuiging nie.\u201d<\/p>

Hermann sluit hierby aan.<\/p>

Hy beskryf die verlammende kragsituasie in die land as \u2019n \u201cvernietigende geleentheid\u201d.<\/p>

\u201cDie Kusile-kragstasie wat teen R200 miljard deur die regering gebou is, wek gemiddeld sowat 4 700 megawatt op. Tans wek krag op dakke gemiddeld 5 000 megawatt op. Suid-Afrikaners het dus in minder as \u2019n jaar reggekry om die miljarde wat deur die regering gespander is, se kapasititeit verby te steek.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Croucamp het De Ruyter aangevat oor die besluit om George Fivaz, voormalige polisiekommissaris, se maatskappy te gebruik om die forensiese ondersoek na misdaad binne Eskom te doen. Hy wou weet of dit nie beter sou wees om \u2019n minder \u201cpolities sensitiewe\u201d maatskappy aan te stel nie.<\/p>

Die besluit is in omstredenheid gedompel veral na \u2019n ondersoekende storie deur Jacques Pauw oor minstens een lid van die ondersoekspan wat verbind is met politieke moorde in die apartheidsera.<\/p>

Tog staan De Ruyter by sy besluit.<\/p>

\u201cEk het heeltemal binne die wet opgetree. Minister Pravin Gordhan (minister van openbare ondernemings) is ingelig, en hy het saamgestem ons moet meer inligting en data versamel. Nie \u2019n enkele sent van Eskom-geld is spandeer om die ondersoek te befonds nie.\u201d<\/p>

Hy erken egter die onthullende stuk het die befondser in so \u2019n mate afgeskrik dat die finansiering vir die ondersoek gestaak is.<\/p>

Vir Makgoba is privatisering nie die oplossing nie. Maar dan moet Eskom dit vinnig\u00a0 regkry om politiek en bestuur te skei. \u201cWant daar is twee groot probleme by Eskom. Een is politieke inmenging, die ander is regulering, bestuur. Aan wie rapporteer hulle nou eintlik? Op die oomblik is dit Gordhan, Gwede Mantashe (minerale), Barbara Creecy (omgewing), die parlement se staande komitee oor openbare rekeninge. Dit kan mos nie werk nie. Dan, die meeste rade se lede word nie op meriete aangestel nie, maar deur politieke geknoei. Ons sit met te veel gekke, wat min verstaan van beleid.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNou, meer as ooit vantevore besef ons hoe broodnodig ons sterk, etiese leierskap het,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>

Die laaste woord gaan aan De Ruyter.<\/p>

\u201cOns moet begin om verby die dinamiek (tussen belanghebbendes) te kyk en die hulp vat wat ons kry. As jou huis brand en jou buurman bied sy tuinslang aan, gaan jy nie eers vra of die tuinslang groen of blou is nie. Jy gaan dit gryp en jou huis red.\u201d<\/p>
