Staff at Eskom’s Medupi power station project have been evacuated in Limpopo.

Vehicles were set alight and tyres burnt during a violent protest at the station this morning.

It is alleged that workers are unhappy about foreigners being hired as welders.

When Medupi, near Lephalala, comes online next year, it will be the largest dry-cooled coal fired power station in the world.
