Eskom's employees have started returning to work after embarking on a strike action which plunged the country into stage 6 load shedding.
"Please @elonmusk. I know you have a solution for load-shedding. Do it for your country, your original one."
Most South Africans have come to know loadshedding during stage two and stage four outages. Stage six, however, will have an even greater impact with the prospect of six hours of blackouts per day, putting more strain on economic operations and the daily lives of South Africans.
Eskom says it's implementing stage 6 again from 4pm until 10pm on Wednesday despite some striking workers returning to their posts.
Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter says the power utility is experiencing unprotected strikes, leading to staff shortages which are also causing delays in maintenance and repairs.
