Enterprise workers not at risk of losing employment
Updated | By Lethiwe Mdluli
Workers at Enterprise's Polokwane facility do not face losing their jobs.
The company's polony factory there has been identified as the source of the deadly listeriosis outbreak.
Workers union, Nupsawu met with management recently following the shock revelations.
The union's Ntata Sekgota says members are back at work.
"On Monday, the workers of Enterprise Polokwane were returned home after the management of Enterprise said they should go home because there will be no production. People were forced to go home without any pay. We have since with management that everyone should come back," Sekgota said.

Tiger Brands' Zane Kahn says workers are now focusing on other responsibilities, as production has been halted.
"Workers are at work. Production hasn't commenced so they are performing other tasks but there's no production until we finalise the recall. The meeting with the unions and employees is just to provide clarity on the situation and the overall recall," Kahn said.
