Two families in the North West are blaming Eskom for the death of two children aged 12 and 13. RollingBlackouts Loadshedding

In a separate incident in Lokgabeng in Taung, a 79-year-old pensioner, Samuel Gabonewe died due to smoke inhalation.Gobonewe’s grandchild, Kealeboga Sekgetho says, “This is very sad as to what has happened because of Eskom. At the other window of my grandfather, we saw smoke and the window [was] broken. [When] I got there everything was burned to ashes, no blankets, no bed. We found him inside the house next to the door at the kitchen trying to escape.

Num spokesperson Livhuwani Mammburu says even if labour unions agreed to a wage offer from the power utility, it will not end rolling blackouts. “I don’t think the workers are the ones who caused it. Rolling blackouts have been there. Our members are not responsible for stage six. As we speak, Eskom is busy shutting down units and power stations like Nkomati and many other power stations.”
