Eskom suspends three station managers

Eskom has suspended three power station managers in relation to the current coal supply shortage.

Spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe says managers of Kendal, Matla and Hendrina power stations have been placed on suspension, while Chief Procurement Officer, Jay Pillay, has been served with a precautionary notice.

Six of the 15 power stations are running low on coal, but the utility says the recovery plan is working well to ensure the lights stay on.
