After a week of protests at Eskom operations that no one has claimed responsibility for plunged the country into Stage 6 load shedding, two unions are now dealing with members who are pushing for an outright rejection of a new wage offer. | Fin24
Fin24 has established that the document was written and signed by Eskom employees and union members, though unions outright denied it.
However, an internal document which Fin24 has seen, signed by NUM and Numsa members, has outright rejected the 7% offer. The document is signed by Tumediso Tisane from NUM and Koketso Ramalepe from Numsa. Fin24 has established that Tisane and Ramalepe are both Eskom employees from Lephalale, where Eskom's mega coal-fired power station Medupi is situated.
However NUM spokesperson Livhuwani Mammburu called the document"lies", while Numsa spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola said the union had no plans to picket at Megawatt Park on Friday and that the document was"not an official Numsa document".
