They have complementary skills, experience, qualifications and backgrounds, and, together, they will form a formidable team to take this large and complex company to the next level of performance and success. Their complementary attributes are well-suited to drive Sasol's growth programme while maintaining momentum for the sustainable repositioning of the Company to respond decisively to the challenging energy landscape."
