,(Bloomberg) --
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. will continue power cuts until at least June 29 as worker protests that have delayed maintenance and repairs persist.
In a statement, Eskom said that it’s extending the power cuts due to “unlawful and unprotected” labor action at a number of power stations. The protests have been going on since June 23.
The state-owned power utility warned the current stage of load-shedding may be changed at short notice depending on the state of the plant and availability of labor.
