The struggling power utility is blaming the ongoing unprotected labour action by its employees for its decision to further plunge South Africans into darkness – the country is now in stage 4 load shedding until Sunday morning.

JOHANNESBURG - Eskom was on Friday granted a court interdict to stop what it regards as an illegal wage strike at nine of its power stations.

As electricity is an essential service, industrial action is not permitted, but intimidation and operational disturbances have grown and could add to existing constraints to the grid. "Eskom is actually the one responsible for how we got here, why did they walk out of talks, which provoked a lot of anger amongst workers? Can we come back to the negotiating table, so that we can resolve this." said Phakamile Hlubi-Majola.

"We have experienced numerous intimidation and other forms of illegal activity. Eskom cautions, unfortunately, the public that should these criminal acts of intimidation, strike persist or spread, this will increase the risk of operational disturbances and the implementation of load shedding at higher levels."

Our constitution says access to water and electricity . Unions also at fault here. SA a big joke!

Our failed state, right now I wish we could go into the elections and get rid of this useless government CyrilRamaphosa , as a nation can tolerate to a certain point but not beyond. We're angry at you and your government, this is an abuse to the core.

OK. Tell Oberholzer Sikhonathi to suspend loadshedding then.

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Leticia_thomas9 on Twitter She guides me through and i made a return of R155,000 after a week of trading, connect with her
