Nine people were injured at Eskom's Matla power station on December 12 when a transformer exploded, affecting Unit 6.

As a precautionary measure, Unit 5 was also taken offline to ensure the safety of all employees and contractors on-site.

“Our first thoughts are with those who have been injured and we are ensuring they get the medical attention they need. All emergency protocols have been activated,” Eskom Group Executive for Generation Bheki Nxumalo said in a statement.

The utility reported that one of the nine injured was in a critical condition.
