A cable on Unit 1 at Eskom’s Matla Power Station was cut over the weekend in what is now the fourth incident of suspected sabotage at a power station in the past two weeks. News24 understands that on Sunday officials discovered the cut cable, but the 575-megawatt unit had fortunately not tripped because a backup cable had been left untouched. Three other cables in the same cable rack were also undamaged, a picture shared with News24 shows.
