The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality wishes to inform residents and business that the Electricity & Energy Directorate is currently experiencing an illegal labour dispute due to demands for scarce skills allowance. This has resulted to participating employees going on a tools down. This illegal strike has not only disrupted normal day to day operations but has impacted the electricity and energy call centre.
Residents are thus advised to immediately contact their ward councillor or call 080 020 5050 should they experience electricity challenges.
The Municipality is thus exploring emergency measures to mitigate power outages and supply in the Metro.
Due to the unpredictability of labour disputes, it’s not clear when the employees will return to work, thus disruptions to service delivery may occur over the weekend.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
