[BREAKING] Stage 4 loadshedding due from 11am until midnight on Friday, and from 5am to midnight on Saturday and Sunday, due ongoing wage protests. Eskom powercuts Numsa
South African state power company Eskom had warned early on Friday that electricity cuts could intensify following labour protests at nine of its facilities linked to deadlocked wage talks. Following through on its warning, the power later announced that Stage 4 load shedding would be implemented from 11:00 until midnight on Friday, and from 05:00 until midnight on Saturday and Sunday, to conserve emergency generation reserves due to the “ongoing unprotected labour action”.
” “However, Eskom cautions the public that as the shortage of generation capacity persists, the system will continue to be constrained with an elevated risk of load shedding over the coming weeks.” Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said on Thursday that groups of people, some wearing union outfits, were protesting outside six coal plants and the company said police had been deployed.
