Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha confirmed the workers' return on Wednesday. 


"Its employees are peacefully returning to work since last night and there are no incidents of any protests have been reported so far today." 


The unprotected strikes have forced Eskom to put the country under stage 6 load shedding on Tuesday night after workers in a number of its power stations downed tools.
