Southern Africa Energy and Chemicals
Responsible for Mining, Gas, Operations, and Fuels and Chemicals sales and marketing
– through which we provide various petroleum and chemical products to customers,
both in South Africa and internationally. South African operations include mining and
Sasol’s core manufacturing assets, incorporating Secunda Operations (SO), Sasolburg
and Natref Operations. Internationally, the portfolio includes all chemicals produced
in South Africa, but sold globally, gas operations in Mozambique and the ORYX GTL
operations in Qatar.
Salient features
Sasol remains steadfast in its commitment
to pursue a workplace with Zero Harm but
regrettably we recorded two fatalities in FY26
Implemented coal destoning and continuing
with other interventions to improve coal quality
and enable improved value chain performance

Operates six coal mines that supply between
30 and 35 million tons of thermal coal feedstock
per annum to operations in Secunda and
Sasolburg*. Production from Sasol’s mines is
supplemented with external purchases to meet the
requirements of the Southern Africa value chain.
Supplies the Sasol gas network in South Africa
with natural gas produced from the onshore
Petroleum Production Agreement (PPA) facilities, and
the PSA. Gas is imported from Mozambique via the
ROMPCO pipeline. Within South Africa, Sasol’s
networks in KwaZulu-Natal and Witbank-Middelburg
are supplied with methane-rich gas produced from
SO. Gas is also sold to customers in Mozambique.
Sasol procures
approximately 20 million
barrels of crude oil per
annum from global producers
and traders as feedstock
for Natref, to produce petrol,
diesel, jet fuel and other
refined products.
* Further to the repurposing of the existing export beneficiation plant
as a destoning solution, Sasol Mining concluded the last of its export
production on 30 June 2025 and last export sales in Q1 FY26.
Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) achieved
beneficial operation in March 2026
Sasolburg was awarded the Green Drop
Certification in recognition of excellence in
wastewater management
All three low carbon steam boilers at Natref
achieved beneficial operation (BO) by FY26,
