Ericsson South Africa has sacked an employee, Vivienne Catherine Basson, after a Tweet the company said breached its Code of Business Ethics.

The controversial Tweet was posted by the employee following her involvement with a taxi driver in a car accident.

She used racist terminology in a Tweet along with a picture of a damaged car, and called for the death penalty.

She tweeted: “Effing k**fir taxi. And once again I vote for the death penalty. These savages don’t deserve to live. But more importantly Daniel is alive and I am alive. They can rot in hell.”

In South Africa, “kaffir” is regarded as a deeply offensive racial slur.
