The power utility implemented stage 6 load-shedding on Tuesday amid a strike by employees.
As Eskom continues to plunge SA into darkness with power cuts, South Africans are demanding answers about who should take the blame.
The power utility implemented stage 6 load-shedding on Tuesday amid a strike by employees over a wage dispute. Eskom said the protest caused disruption at its power plants despite three of its 10 generation plants returning to service on Tuesday. The outages sparked debate over who should take the blame for SA's energy crisis, with some laying it at the feet of energy minister Gwede Mantashe and public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan."For Gordhan to blame the rolling blackouts, which are due to no plan to increase energy generation capacity, on protesting workers is pathetic.
