de Ruyter has recently been in the spotlight as politicians and businessmen have been criticising his leadership to the extent of calling for his removal as the Eskom CEO as he has been unable to ease the pressure on load shedding.
The Eskom CEO told the South African, “I was in the back of my Volvo when I saw something strange on the floor underneath the driver’s seat. The device – a motherboard filled with microchips, immediately looked out of place. I assume it was stuck to the bottom of the seat and must have come loose.”
Does this mean that de Ruyter is being stalked and spied on?
Answers are yet to come as de Ruyter has hired the retired SAPS commissioner George Fivaz who is currently investigating “the piece of equipment that can be used to intercept communications or transmit location.”
