@SimphiweKahla tweeted:
"As the member of the EFF I don't know what y'all want now. Every appointed Eskom CEO is useless to you. Seems like Eskom will never be fixed and we must accept that load-shedding will be part of our lives forever and ever."
@Kele_Fabulous added:
"If useless is fighting corruption at every angle in Eskom then so be it. I support him 100%. Akere he's getting rid of deep-rooted corruption at Eskom, meaning the gravy train is running on empty and lewena you've personally benefited from Eskom's corrupt deals."
Previously, Briefly.co.za reported that De Ruyter said he supports the investigations into the allegations of racism made against him. De Ruyter spoke on Monday, 15 March about the state of the embattled power utility. The CEO added that he would not tolerate corruption.

The power utility's CEO spoke more on the allegations of racism by stating there was no evidence to support it.
