2. Visit to Medupi Coal Power Station The delegation arrived at Matimba power station on 24 July 2013 to meet with Eskom, organised labour and contractors. Shortly after the delegation arrived, representatives from Eskom informed the Committee that just less than 1 000 workers of Murray and Roberts had gone on a work stoppage and had overturned cars and set them alight. Eskom had contacted the police and the situation was being monitored closely. Eskom stated that a full report would be given to the Committee before the end of its visit, once the reasons for the work stoppage were known. The meeting was chaired by Mr Dan Marokane, Acting Group Executive for Eskom Group Capital, who welcomed the Committee before handing over to Mr Roman Crookes, General Manager of the Medupi coal power station project. Mr Crookes took the Committee through a presentation providing an overview of the current status of construction and the way forward to completion, an explanation on how the cost position evolved, and gave an update of the technical challenges that have delayed completion and Eskom's resolutions regarding these challenges.
