Eskom boss, Andre de Ruyter is reportedly taking legal action after receiving threats on social media.

Eskom spokesperson, Sikonathi Mantshantsha reportedly confirmed that the company would be opening a case of intimidation on behalf of De Ruyter following threats on social media.

According to News24, Mantshantsha said that these are incitements to commit violence and crime.

“I don’t know what time our people went to the police station and which police station, but I will find that out,” Mantshantsha said.

He did not say against who Eskom would be opening the case.

On Tuesday, EFF KZN leader, Vusi Khoza called on citizens to find the home addresses of De Ruyter and Pravin Gordhan.

Khoza tweeted: “This thing of load shedding & @Eskom_SA will only stop when we stand up. Let’s get out there, hunt those useless fools down & moer them. Find out where they stay, their physical address, drag them into the streets & bliksem them. If that’s instigation then so be it.” 

Khoza has since removed the tweet.
