JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - About 1,000 contract workers at South Africa's Eskom [ESCJ.UL] Medupi power plant have been fired for vandalizing property during this week's one-day a strike over poor living conditions and higher pay, the power producer's spokesman said on Friday.
"Some of the workers have received text messages for them not to come today, they have been fired. Companies are checking as to who have received prior written warnings and they have now been fired," Eskom spokesman Khulu Phasiwe told Reuters.
