BLSA, which funded the controversial intelligence reports into crime and corruption at Eskom, still believes it did the right thing and that valuable information was gathered in the process. Business Leadership SA (BLSA), which funded the controversial intelligence reports into crime and corruption at Eskom commissioned by former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter, says it believes it did the right thing and that valuable information was gathered in the process. It also disrupted various coal syndicates, leading to the recovery of millions of rands by Eskom, BLSA says. She said assisting the government to build a capable state in the aftermath of the state capture era was central to business' concerns. Mavuso said that BLSA was "shocked and dismayed" to learn that an individual with a "tainted history" had been involved, and BLSA did not support the appointment of such people.
