HermLategan Jy kan nie die tipe goed self versin nie. Pogings deur georganiseerde misdaad om De Ruyter te vermoor/weermag geontplooi by kragstasies!
There's quite a few natural sources of cyanide, e.g. almonds.
Why didn’t he die
And he carefully chose which publication he will use to expose this attempt 😇🤔
De Ruyter mouthpiece
We are still trying to understand how a panic button was said to have been a 'bugging device'...
I would not be surprised
Major stress attack.....
He's still alive? 🤦🏿♂️
Why is not going with immediate effect then?
ANC is very scared he is going to spill the beans, way to silence him
My gosh this poor man. We have evil criminals running this country 😢 all he was trying to do was root out the corruption and they try and kill him.
But the tea lady and the PA they must be investigated..
He knows too much about the rot at Eskom. South Africa has become a rotten system.
ANC is becoming like their friends in Moscow and their masters in China country of fools
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He knows too much, he must just come out and say his truth that will help me. Truth will set him free ... literally.
Which type of cynide was it? There are three different types. This answer will help explain a lot of questions about this mysterious story.
I swear this man better be telling the truth!
More lies
Please stop reporting on this mampara
People have no regard for life in this country. I'll pray for his protection
They must investigate his wife.
they want to poisoned him for what? for being useless, incompetent & giving us unprecedented loadshedding this country ever had.
ZiyandaS_ This failure is full of stories. Couldn’t he just resign effective immediately. We are tired of his fairytales.
He's lying. He would have never survived if it was true. Desperate
Why is he still breathing 😒
Read up on cyanide, look at his story and make it add up. The guy reported a bug to the police, why would it take him 3 weeks to report an attempt on his life when he claims to have evidence?
Even Jacob Zuma, Gwede and David Mabuza made claims of being poisoned. Nothing special about this white man
You can't trust people.
With Cyanide you don't live to tell the story, it kills and elephant in minutes
The criminal syndicates will do anything to get rid of De Ruyter. Who is at the head of this campaign? Mantashe?
Read up on cyanide, look at his story and make it add up. The guy reported a bug to the police, why would it take him 3 weeks to report an attempt on his license if he has the evidence?
ok...
Him and his Friends looted Billions .... Now we here ... Glencore ....it will all come out soon ... We almost there
When was the army deployed at the power stations?
Ha shwe I don't khe
MasingitaDan the eskom story is deeper than we all think. Waiting for the day it explodes and we're all stuck in stage 8
Maybe it's spelling error and he ment Cinnamin
We don't care about this one, we want electricity. Everyday we are told generation units are breaking down suddenly. De Ruyter's breath is not going to in any way solve this. So honestly dont care for this. He earns millions annually or our money, he can make a plan. Fokof
Haaahaaa! Ben Kunutu
mckaytracey This is taking it too far there have something too hide
He's lying,just like he lied about that 'bug' in his car. He likes attention.
His handlers don’t want him to speak out
Anc linked? Ofcos but thry work like ghost nobody sees their crimes nobody knows their crimes
He shouldn't have served a notice, people are tired of darkness.
The guy have much to say about Eskom under syndicate of which Pravin or Gwede have a say
Why the day after he resigned? Methinks De Ruyter must stay off the booze. Addles the brain.
RIP
Amateurs
Post the doctors note like you did with Zuma and we will believe your lies.
Someone decided to speed things up after reading the resignation date end of March not immediate.
Cyanide is a rapidly acting poison and once signs and symptoms appear, it kills within 30m-1hr.
Cyanides can be produced by certain bacteria, fungi and algae. Cyanides are also found in cigarette smoke, in vehicle exhaust, and in foods such as spinach, bamboo shoots, almonds, lima beans, fruit pits and tapioca.
Mxm 🙄
You'll only fool clowns!
Eskom should pay the doctors bills.
Eskom should pay the doctors bills.
Scary stuff. I would also resign
This guy is a loser, going to such an extent as faking his own assassination.
Hai, hm-mm - is not make sure this one... 👀🧐🤔
He must go home and deal with his Doctors in peace. That Eskom will be under that Stubborn Gwede now, no place to hide for him
Bullshit
His just deflecting🤠 we see u Andre
Hazard of the Job.
They now want to silence him ? The mafias of the ruling party
He should stop drinking mampoer
They should have done a good job not this nonsense we still read what he says,we are sitting in the dark because of him,bloody swine
Shouldn’t they poison you before you resign? This big baby must just frack off into the sunset. We will deal with him when his boss goes. If I was him I take my meagre Rand takings and move to the Isle of Man or something. He’ll be back here for his SASSA. Can’t wait can’t wait
Cyanide😳😳😳
This from the same guy who tried to tell us a gate remote was a listening device 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Asina gesi thina
Only people who can poison him are anc deloyees
Is guy got drama 🎭
Tsek
mxm
The thieves came to steal, kill and destroy
Thank goodness only that…….. u tried your best!!!!
False flag to hide his incompetence.
Ma comrade
Why didn’t you report this story immediately
You are spreading lies.
News 24 is fighting a very good fight for Mr Andre De Ruyter.
LOL
Eh eh eh
De Ryuter likes playing victim
Wow they wanted to delete him
voetsêk with this nothing burger.
Hit the dog hard till the owner comes out this is not an EU summit but an AU summit we are dealing with none negotiables asijiki.
When is it the rest of the company's turn ?
So what ? What now ? Too many overseas Cape apples , or what happened ? Surely he must know who gave him what to eat and drink Only sleepy people already drunk dont check.
This man!
😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
Clearly knows to much
Poisoned a day after he resigned? So someone wants him dead for what since he's leaving anyway? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah right..he must have pissed off his handlers by resigning
Your article states that De Ruyter confirmed that doctors found elevated levels of cyanide in his blood and goes on to say that De Ruyter did NOT want to comment further. So, YOU, News24, a news outlet, headlines this with De Ruyter confirms he may have been poisoned. WTF!
Lol
Mnxm
Ncooh shem
Frightening
They learned well from the apartheid era.
Eish, someone tried to eliminate DeRuyter.May b Arthur Fraiser might have an idea.or it might take him 3 years b4 he say something
Yho Gosh like on Crime & Investigation 😳Wife is always the first suspect in such 🤷🏽
That would be like kicking a dead horse
