The head of the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), Andy Mothibi, says former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter engaged in maladministration by approving a covert investigation into the power utility's operations, even if he had good intentions.

, Mothibi said, ‘The former CEO did not have authority to investigate the affairs of Eskom and it does appear that he had a distrust of law enforcement agencies. As the CEO, it was incumbent on him to raise the distrust appropriately… but he commissioned a parallel investigation.’

The SIU found that the secret investigation into Eskom was contracted between Business Leadership South Africa and George Fivaz Forensic and Risk, with de Ruyter not informing the board about it,‘It’s a very important governance issue and really points to a measure of maladministration,’ added Mothibi.
