Construction has not yet resumed at Eskom’s multi-billion rand power plant, Medupi, in Lephalale, Limpopo.

Workers downed tools last week in protest over travel allowances.

The trouble-hit Medupi power station had its timeline to provide electricity postponed from December this year to mid next year.

The delays were brought about by work stoppages related to labour unrests and shoddy work by some contractors.

The usually busy Medupi site is deserted – with only unmanned cranes visible.

The site has been closed for construction since Wednesday last week. During last weeks’s violent protest, about 20 workers were injured, five vehicles burnt and cranes damaged.

The unions’ representatives and the Medupi site management are in a meeting to resolve the dispute.
