Eskom Workers on Strike ?

[MidnightWizard]

Pasco team is monitoring the possibility of industrial action by workers at Eskom

Part of the reason for this uncertainty is that the World Cup risk environment remains ambiguous at best, and contradictory at worst.
FIFA and the South African authorities have continued to downplay potential risks relating to terrorism, security, logistics and disruptions to essential services.
On the other hand, risk experts – including the Pasco team responsible for managing World Cup security and protective intelligence – have if anything grown less optimistic about the level of risk relative to the capacity of authorities to prevent significant risks from materialising into confirmed threats.
Three weeks ago, Pasco raised its terrorism threat assessment from 'low' to 'moderate', and in the past week the global insurance firm Aon similarly raised its threat assessment level for South Africa owing to the risks associated with the World Cup.
As we prepare this article for publication, the Pasco team is monitoring the possibility of industrial action by workers at Eskom, the country's national electricity supplier.
As we have stated in previous assessments of this risk, the World Cup stadiums and other venues will have alternative power supplies, but there is little doubt that persistent disruptions to the national grid will have a significant impact on the tournament and could jeopardize crime prevention activities across the country.

Wage negotiations resumed on Monday morning after being cut short on Friday ahead of South Africa's World Cup game and it appears little progress was made today.
