Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshansha warns generation capacity shortages will persist over the next few weeks. 

 

"Eskom cautions the public that it will still take a few weeks for the power generation system to fully recover to pre-strike levels. Depending on several possibilities, including the workforce fully returning to work to conduct marginal repairs to equipment.
