ESKOM LIVE | Load shedding could end in 10 days
Stage 4 load shedding for the day, Stage 6 from late Friday afternoon
"The high levels of staff absenteeism and intimidation of working employees in some of the power stations is still rife. This has made it difficult to conduct routine maintenance and other operational requirements, which will further impact the reliability of generation units," Eskom said. The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa , the National Union of Mineworkers and Solidarity are expected to return to wage talks at the Central Bargaining Forum on Friday. Several reports have said Eskom has upped it's offer to 7%, though there has been no official confirmation on that.
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. The NUM has however outright rejected the veracity of the document, while Numsa says it was not official communication by the union.
Numsa initially demanded 15% across the board at the start of the wage tale but revised their demand downward to 12%. NUM's wage demands currently range between 8% and 10%. Solidarity, which condemned the protests and was not involved in the joint statement, made a demand of 5.9%.
