Marcelo, we are drowning in corruption. The ANC which is currently in power is dragging us all to hell. It's a criminal entity whose sole interest is to steal and lie all the time. Our country has become a mafia state with rampant crime where civilians are murdered daily. It's a hopeless situation. My appeal to fellow South Africans is that we rise up and save our country or else the future of our children is not guaranteed.
There’s no whistle he blew he simply just cast aspersions and accusation. Clearly there’s more to Andre comments then what we see. So many questions he must answer…
Best interview ever! Baie dankie Meneer De Ruyter for your service to our country. Sorry that you had to leave the country. The days of being divided around racial lines are over. We are all standing together as one against corruption. Thank you to Annika Larsen & thank you to ETV for uploading this here.
Bonga, I hate ANC with passion I want them out, there is a possibility that the ANC is Being sabotaged on purpose, remember who owns the economy and the land and are supported by the West, South Africa is a wanted country in Africa for its influence, hence the ANC is glued to Russia and China. Mandela's greatest mistake was not expelling Whites then, now we living with Cancer, Zimbabwe is getting back up slowly and rest of African states were in civil war to regain they independence only us we just delayed the inevitable, until crimes of the past are dealt with same way we give criminal ANC energy this country will never know peace. I hope black people vote ANC out our vote matters most as majority, I will take a chance with Action SA or that coloured guy but never ever will I vote The DA who refuse to share land with everyone in SA would rather vote for EFF before DA. We can't be sitting here and watch European descents own everything and refuse to share with everyone and I apologize to Mr Andre if I'm being unfair to him
Ek kan nie meer saamstem nie!! Jy is absoluut sò eerlik en dapper- mag ons Here jou en jou gesin bewaar en beskerm. As jul in ander land gaan woon isdit baie groot verlies vir SA maar ek gun jou en jou gesin die Veiligheid! Sterkte.!!
Thank you for your service, Mr de Ruyter. Please do not underestimate the number of people who appreciate you and are actively praying for your divine protection. 🙏
Thank you for what? This Domkop DE Ruyter left us with Stage 6 continuous loadshedding! He is the worst Eskom CEO ever! He performed worse than the Gupta CEO!
Just the blatant audacity of being so lawless and treacherous (The ANC and their counterparts). Morals and values, speaking against despicable behaviour - causes one to be scoffed at, ostracized and even worse - murdered, following threats I presume and the cocky "show us the proof" boastings. May every evil, greedy person placed in somewhat of a position of power, with the ability to bring about change - be pursued by God's wrath and all the plagues in existence. I pray Mr Andre remains safe and continues exposing their filth
His life will most certainly be in danger after this 😢😢 but the only way to fix our mess is for whistleblowers to come forth (and for them to be protected)
I sometimes wonder if people fully understand the extent of rot the in the ANC. These people are devil incarnate. They are evil to the core. The ANC since its inception ( history tells us this ) has never had an interest of South Africans at heart. The situation has deteriorated over the years and was exacerbated by their hold on state power. South Africans must wake up from their deep slumber and kick out this criminal mob out of power or else we will not have a country for our children. The time is now!!
@@jobesithole5590 That should be the catalyst to urge all of us to really fight - this is for the children. It breaks my heart that South Africans (not all) have become so desensitised to corruption and nefarious behaviours.
@@tsholofelo_NHasn't it been like this for decades?. But, people like De Reyters need to come along and fail when they've never failed before, including in their overseas high powered positions, before people can see there's something really wrong going on De Reyters was the man to shed the light. How long will it be before the next CEO gets the same death threats, the same cyanide poisoning attempts on his life? Those involved are used to easy money now, how will they change their game? Or will the game just go as it did before De Reyters arrived?
@@rorkesparks2598 whistleblowers are getting killed in this country and nothing happens after that. This is really deep. Don’t know what’s wrong with BLACK LEADERS ALL OVER AFRICA 💔, they are making their own people suffer it’s heart breaking
Thank you so much sir, please be safe you and family. I miss the old South Africa. And SAP THEY WERE not perfect but our country was the best in Africa. So sorry🙏🙏
To fight corruption in SA , in my wish we gonna need Interpol bcos now SA police re corrupt too n we have broken OAU who suppose to have a court of law but we don't c their blueprints or purposes. Corrupt makes every Africans looks bad globally. Stealing from their own people. Most of SA people busy with Alcohol They don't recognise incoming dangerous ship sinking They only think about 🍻 beer n supperbett soccer
Thank you, ETV for having the guts to air this interview and especially thank you to Andre for his courage to spill the beans and call a spade a spade. SA is long past being politically correct. Now is the time for action and the general man on the street of all colours and creeds to stand together against this cANCer that is ruining our beautiful country.
Don’t thank them they only re-uploaded because It was already out here, people recorded the interview and put it out on their channels so I guess eTV realised that it’s no use censoring it when the public can already watch any time.😂
Her interview skills are bad though she doesn't know questions to begin with, she can't follow up on an interesting subject, she doesn't know what to ask, put Arin Bates in here and see real skills
Excellent job? This Domkop DE Ruyter left us with Stage 6 continuous loadshedding! He is the worst Eskom CEO ever! He performed worse than the Gupta CEO!
I think he just said out loud what all of us already knew and speak about on our daily life. No one in a position of power had been so honest like he was in this interview. That takes so much courage. Wishing him the best for his future endeavours!
@@rorisangmatsiela8975 Human nature is blame someone else for ones faults n failings. Eve blamed the serpent , Adam blamed Eve. Eve n Adam blamed God. So it's not strange that the ANC blames Dr Ryter They just need a fall guy to cover their dark side which is being exposed, It should not surprise anyone. All the best big guy may life give you the best for your stand.
Ngiyamhlonipha lo baba for isibindi anaso to stand his ground against our useless and corrupt government that I used to think was for us as the people, thank you for having this man on your show Annika. If anything should happen to him, we know just where to look, ANC.
Thank you for what? This Domkop DE Ruyter left us with Stage 6 continuous loadshedding! He is the worst Eskom CEO ever! He performed worse than the Gupta CEO!
Shocking, how deeply entrenched corruption at Eskom is. I believe everything he says! Now he is a dead man walking best he gets out. Thank you for shedding light on this for us the public. Be safe and go well 🙏
I cannot agree more with this man. Don’t call me Comrade, don’t call me leadership, don’t call me any of the the terms of endearment that have become staples in an ANC member’s vocabulary. It’s embarrassing 😂
The language use for the EFF is very similar, they are the back up plan for the ANC, if the EFF gets into power, it will just be ANC in disguise. We need actually democracy, not a mob run dictatorship.
I agree.... watched the whole episode from the start, very intelligent man, surprised to see we had someone this well spoken running eskom... usually our leaders/people at the top are a bit on the slow side.
None of us in SA should be surprised at any of this as it's been happening all round us at all levels for 20 years. Brave for speaking out and wise as well considering the people he has exposed. Proud South African
Well said !!!! The same happens on every single level, not at Eskom only. Reverse racisam is the worst kept secret in SA nowadays. It is revenge time that has been quietly condone by the ruling regime and wherever it is possible it has been implement. Consequences are over viewed. The focus is on practicing political correctness. People of right colour are positioned on the work places way beyond their knowledge, experience and expertise. And moral standards. If you try to OPENLY address issues you are RACIST. Until changes come, SA is heading to its own END. And, frankly speaking, it is not going to ever change. The mentality of every African individual, regardles of the level of sophistication, is united in their resentment and despise of Europeans. They would rather be together on the sinking ship then live in mutually beneficial symbiosis. I regret I have to say that there is hardly any exeption to this rule. Although it would be politically correct!!!!
@@recatoeberwein1477 politically incorrect nonsense that peopme of other race then African live day to day life. I am not saying that all Africans live the good life, on the contrary. I am saying that even them, they rather suffer under given regime then admit that people who are leading the country are shamelessly corupt, greedy, inedequat and not qualified for their position. Period. Agree or disagree, doesnt change the facts !!!!!
@@yugoslava6409 the problems at Eskom and South Africa at large, is due to corruption. Corruption knows no race. Just scratch a little under names like Sepp Blatter, Markus Jooste, Nancy Pelosi, Hunter Biden, Jared Kushner, et al. The irony of you making accusations of reverse racism and following that with two blatant racist remarks would be funny, if it wasn't so sad.
What and interview. A person of integrity and so much courage to speak out on what we suspected for a long time. SA operates from a basis of corruption on an unprecedented scale. The people involved are greedy and have NO shame. The level of gangsterism, corruption and theft is disgusting.
What can we as South Africans do about this? How didnt this also come up in the State Capture inquiry? That also came and gone. Us regular people cant do nothing. Im speechless. Thank you Andre, it looks like your legacy is going to be remembered for the man how exposed load shedding corruption. You dont have to ever feel that you failed us. Your a star man. Hats off to you.
We can vote for the DA in 2024 and increase their oppositional power . A strong opposition will force the Government to tread more carefully. Its our only hope.
Much appreciated, Champ 🏆 Thank you very much for blowing the whistle, and now it's up to SA citizens to build on top of your foundation and remove the current corrupt government!
I'm a South African who has had to run away to another country. I had to escape from having all my autonomy striped by disgusting political corruption. I was born in this beloved country 76 years ago and I'm not going to be able to die there. South Africa is the most wonderful place, but it is now unlivable. The truth behind heinous criminal government activity is usually kept hidden by those in power - but it is so refreshing to hear Andre reveal it in this interview - thank you! I notice the interview has been wiped out on most social media platforms - so glad I was able to find one place that aired candor. Let's hope the so called "humane" world will listen.
Sadly every time someone has left, it has made the problem in a small way a bit worse- this for the last 20 odd years. Skills, taxes, growth… not blaming, but didn’t help. Still is a great place with opportunities for all
We salute you André, we need honest men like you, a man of integrity.Thank you Arnika and ETV. May God protect and be with you for standing up for what is right. Corruption must fall in 🇿🇦, the church Dailey prayer. 🙏
Give the white man the country and you will see success,they know what to do and how to get it done,thats a fact,,they are inventors they started industries,,how can you expect growth and positive change when you let n perculier people who dont even have a basic matric certificate run a country,,,its beyond comprehension
Blacks have their gifting but it's probably not to rule a country or they just needed to be guided by those who have the gifting of knowledge but if the headship of leadership is corrupt it will naturally spill over to those under them in authority..This regime will also end like the previous one..let's hope for a better future for us all
Once again, I am reminded that there are still people left who knows the difference between right and wrong and have the courage to say so. I hope this will inspire others to do what they know to be right for all of the people of our country and not just right for their own personal bank accounts.
I think we know the difference between right and wrong. The difference between people with integrity and the thugs in our country is that people with integrity live by the rules of what is right and what is wrong
Been a fan of his for a while, but Im inspired by his level of bravery thought the world had run dry of this calibre of human being willing to give his life for change , and the greater good of the many. I often wonder with corrupt politicians how do they look their families in the eyes.
Excellent interview! From a brave, honourable, intelligent and ethical person It is such a shame that he was not wasn’t given the support and protection to continue in his job as Eskom CEO It is obvious he exposed the corruption and was making headway in stopping it and monitoring procurement which the thieves didn’t like He is truly a patriotic South African and does not come across as racist, merely a South African with good ideas in protecting the country’s economy and environment in years to come The ideas about giving back water to South Africans and exposing why no attempts to invest in such wise projects says it all about some people in power. They don’t care about their fellow South Africans and are just there to line their own pockets Very sad indeed Thank you Mr de Ruyter for giving up all you did to try to right the wrongs at Eskom and for the ordinary South African It won’t be forgotten and I hope one day you are indeed vindicated and the corruptors arw
With tears in my eyes, Mr. De Ruyter, you are an honorable man. Took on a largely impossible job and excelled at it keeping your honor intact. The world needs more men and women with your spirit 🙏💓 Thank you ❤️
She went straighf forward, no sugar coated questions. She had the facts and set them one by one. Not scared to put them forward. She made Andre feel at ease, not leading him. That is good journalism, not the kwazi wannabe stuff we got used to by asking sensless questions set up beforehand.
Thank you for what? This Domkop DE Ruyter left us with Stage 6 continuous loadshedding! He is the worst Eskom CEO ever! He performed worse than the Gupta CEO!
We owe you a great debt Sir. May you find your peace after 3 years of hell. Thank your for your honesty and service. We will miss you... God Bless South Africa & Mr Andre de Ruyter... ❤🇿🇦
Such an intelligent ethical man. South Africa has lost one of the best. Best of luck overseas Andre de Ruyter. Thank you for your honesty in this corrupt country of ours. We salute you.
Please share this as much as possible, every South African should know this who love their country, if anyone can translate it to every single language spoken in the country, people supporting ANC blindly they have to open their eyes.
Thank you for your service at Eskom. You are a great man of innate integrity and professionalism. Wishing you and your family all the very best as you move on ...
Watching from Botswana. The corruption and state capture situation has been widely covered as well as the obvious cover ups. Mr De Ruyter is an exceptionally brave man. I wish his story gets as much viewership as possible. The obvious truth always comes out and this brave man has been given the courage to speak about it. Wishing you safety and continued progress in your endeavours. I went to highschool in Eastern Cape and I wish all the best for South Africa....a country that shaped my mindset in life....much love and progress to you all. Down with corruption stifling such a great country!
Thank you, EnCa and Mr de Ruiter. The entire country is sick and tired of how the ANC has destroyed our country. Thanks to Mr de Ruiter for telling the truth even though he now has to fear for his life. You are a South African hero.
Thanks Eskom for loadshedding me as u afforded me the opportunity to watch this entire episode 🙌🏽 . ANC I hope u happy with yourselves, we all knew long ago that u were corrupt, just now we have some1 high up admitting it.
Andrè dankie vir jou diens en toewyding aan ons land. Jy is 'n baken van hoop teen die oormag onbevoegtheid en swak leierskap wat ons as land besig is om te vernietig, EK bid dat jy en jou gesin beskerm sal word en dat dit wat jy ontbloot het en dalk nie nou nie maar oor die langer duur die korrupte ANC sal help sink en dat die wêreld werklik sal begin verstaan net met watse absolute swak kaliber mense sit ons wat ons moet lei en beskerm. Vrede en sëen vir jou
Thank you for bravely sharing this. Your book was just as absorbing. A must read. How can South Africans not act after these revelations… our patriotism must be expressed at the polls if we want to resurrect our beautiful country
We thank you Andre for trying so hard for SA. May God bless you, protect you and vindicate you. Thank you Anika for taking the bull by the horns and etv for airing it.
A man of character that stands for justice in a demonic and sick land/world. Keep on hoping for the better because justice will prevail. May God protect this man and his family and all good people.
This interview shared light into Eskom. I thank Andre for his transparency and the courage to blow the whistle. He has made a remarkable change. I thank ETV for airing the truth of the state of Eskom.
This was very interesting and at the same time shocking. Our own people killing our prosperity as a country and causing so much negativity. I pray this outgoing CEO much rest, peace and future success.
Much respect! Thank you André de Ruiter for your guts and integrity. I'm praying for God to protect you and your family! Injustice never lasts forever... The culprits will soon regret the day they started and continued what they're doing. #CryMyBelovedCountry
Salute and massive Respect to you Sir, may God Bless you and your family and may He keep His protective hand over you all. Your bravery, honesty and leadership is well noted and you will be remembered in history, that is a certainty, Andre. We in SA are doomed, the anc are going to completely and utterly destroy our beautiful country through their insatiable greed, their complete selfishness and their gormless stupidity. May the Good Lord have mercy on us!!
Yep turning into Zimbabwe, especially when you hear that the parastatals will start being run by the ministries that is the beginning of the end because they all started to give unqualified family and friends jobs who all paid themselves ridiculous unsustainable salaries...
Wow! Certainly riveting. Wish Andre De Ruyter the best of luck. Thanks, Annika, great interview. Shocking! Scary! Extremely alarming! I am perturbed about the future of this country. The cANCer needs some serious chemotherapy and to be radiated out of power.
the man is shooting from all cylinders, you know why?..they nearly killed him by poison! now he is thinking,let me talk all,if they get me,truth is out! brave man
The problem is that he may have survived cyanide ... chances are he won't survive a hail of bullets from a full auto. Good on him for leaving the country as he is not safe here anymore
@@christfollower2504 there is nothing like black and white. There is only a human race. If you are going to refer to people’s skin tones then at least be honest and say Pinkish Beige and Brown.
@@khaltsharivist365 does that mean you think that light brown, tan, wrinkled, freckled, or smooth skinned people don’t count? By the time the Newsreader got through the person’s description the time for the person being asked to comment would be finished. It reminds me of a joke when the UK stopped police from giving a description of the suspects. Someone said “It’s a pity because people are running around trying to spot a red-headed Scottish man when the police are looking for a little grey-haired old lady.”
I'm an American who has been in South Africa since May. I've been floored by how quickly this power crisis went from bad to disaster. Now it's all making a little more sense.
What an interview. It's quite alarming. I am just a student and what's happening within our borders is shocking. I just wish for the corruption to be eliminated...
Wow - Truly great interview, thanks for highlighting the issues that most South Africans knew but weren't entirely sure of. The ANC must seriously be thrown out, we need all South Africans to vote and get rid of this rubbish. We are all in this together, c'mon lets voice our opinions at the poll next year.
Thank you Andre, it was time to speak out. No 1 before European winter, France thanked SA for delivery of coal, mentioned sum of R130 billion worth of coal, coal was also supplied to Italy and Germany. No 2 roads were blocked to Richard's Bay with thousands of lorries loaded with coal No 3 now we have China and Russia having military practice outside Richard's Bay, was it to to protect the ships leaving the ports with coal? SA has such a beautiful country and amazing diversity of. people. Yet we are left in the dark.
Massive respect to Mr De Ruyter. So much bravery, integrity and desire to change things. It's unfortunate our govt is so barbaric and has turned into a gang.
Bravo, mr André de Ruyter!! So much respect for you. We claim Psalm 91 over your life. No harm shall come to you. I decree and declare this in Jesus Name. You are protected under His Blood. Thank You, Jesus. Amen!! André, klou verwoed vas aan Jesus. Ons is super, super trots op jou.

@@senzomajola6805 Well there was 1 fact mentioned: A de R saw people at a party washing their hands in 15-year-old whiskey. Tells me something. AdR was very careful not to mention names of the guilty and refused to engage in speculation. He had prima facie evidence of wrong-doing. It was the hawks' responsibility to do the investigation. He told his superiors; they did nothing. No investigation was inaugurated after the attempt on his life. Do you not see a picture emerging?
But he would be assassinated. Can only stop this if everyone that are law bidding citizens (which are most of population) stand together and take hard action against these cartels.
