End of Medupi strike paves way for recovery
More than 5 000 Medupi workers are back at work and recovery of lost production time can now begin.
Eskom and its Chief Executive, Tshediso Matona, have agreed to part ways on an amicable basis.
Matona said he believes that the agreement to part ways is in the best interest of Eskom, to allow the board to pursue its plans for the company under the current leadership.
With the separation, the inquiry initiated by the board into the state of affairs at Eskom will continue as planned, and Matona’s suspension falls away.
The power utility also announced some good news with more than 5000 workers returning to work at the Medupi power station yesterday.
Last Friday, the North Gauteng High Court ruled in favour of Eskom for the eviction of all persons residing in all three of Eskom’s accommodation areas around the Medupi power station, as well as interdicting the return of these employees back to the accommodation areas.
Numsa, which had appealed the eviction order, was ordered to pay Eskom’s legal costs.
