Sasol is a South African oil & gas company, the management has confirmed that it is evacuating 340 South African employees from its operations in Mozambique.
The South Africans are being sent home for fear of reprisals following widespread violence against foreign nationals in South Africa.
Sasol spokesperson Alex Anderson says as a precautionary measure, his company and its service providers are facilitating the phased temporary exit of South African nationals from Mozambique back to South Africa.
As a result, projects site work has been halted for the time being.
Anderson said the operations at the Central Processing Facility in Temane and the gas-fired power plant, in Ressano Garcia, are currently running as normal.
He added this is the first South African company with operations abroad to take measures to protect employees from the backlash resulting from widespread xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
