SIU, Hawks ‘studying’ De Ruyter’s Eskom corruption report

The Head of the Special Investigating Unit says they are studying an independent report into corruption at Eskom. 

Eskom's Andre de Ruyter

The probe was commissioned by former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter. 

 

Andy Mothibi briefed MPs on Parliament's justice committee on the progress they've made into state capture investigations on Tuesday.

 

De Ruyter hired a forensic investigation group to probe corruption at the entity. 

 

George Fivaz Forensic and Risk then compiled a damning report on criminal activity at Eskom, implicating top government officials. 

 

Mothibi says the SIU and the Hawks are both going through the report with a fine-tooth comb.

 

"That report has got information that we definitely are looking at so that we can pursue those indicators in that report and the Hawks is also hard at work to pursue the criminality that is pointed in that report."
