Eskom said most
“The greater majority of employees are reporting for duty,” Eskom said in an e-mailed reply to questions. There were still some “sporadic protests” and demonstrations on Monday and there’s more generation capacity unavailable than there was in previous days. The system had about 22.5GW of generation capacity unavailable at midday on Monday, Eskom said. In the previous three days, that amount ranged between 20GW and 21.2GW, showing a deterioration in performance.
