This didn’t fly, sparking a wave of shocking criminal behaviour from strikers — including petrol-bombing the homes of four plant operators. Jim said he “understands the anger” of the strikers, pointing to above-inflation increases in food and transport. But financial desperation is a relative term. This suggests a senior maintenance technician at Kusile power station could earn R352,000-R528,000 a year, if they have passed grade 12 and had three years of technical experience.
Alarmingly, the criminal behaviour went further, extending to intimidation, assault and, yes, petrol bombs.

As long as we have electricity we should be greatful to the workers 🙏 just get Eskom working and save us from all your nonsensical excuses These workers and ANC voters in general are very short-sighted. They want want want now. No thought to how things will be long term.
