Power utility Eskom has put the blame on employees who are on unprotected strike for the current loadshedding.

Eskom released a statement Tuesday afternoon that they were forced to implement stage 6 loadshedding from 4pm to 10pm, stage 4 from 22pm to 00:00pm and a further stage 2 on Wednesday morning.

“This is due to the unprotected and unlawful labour action, which has caused widespread disruption to the Eskom’s power plants. This has compelled Eskom to continue taking precautionary measures to conserve power generation capacity and safeguard plant from damage.”

They added that the current loadshedding time-frames might change depending on workload.
