PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

We are incorporated in the Republic of South Africa as a public company under South African Company law. Our consolidated financial
statements for the financial years ended 30 June 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 included in our corporate filings in South Africa were prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

For
purposes of this annual report on Form 20-F, we have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Our consolidated financial statements for each of
the financial years ended 30 June 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 have been audited.

As
used in this Form 20-F:



We
present our financial information in rand, which is our reporting currency. Solely for your convenience, this Form 20-F contains translations of certain rand amounts into US
dollars at specified rates. These rand amounts do not represent actual US dollar amounts, nor could they necessarily have been converted into US dollars at the rates indicated. Unless otherwise
indicated, rand amounts have been translated into US dollars at the rate of R10,03 per US dollar, which was the closing rate for customs purposes of the rand as reported by Thomson Reuters on
30 September 2013.

All references in this Form 20-F to "years" refer to the financial years ended on 30 June. Any reference to a calendar year is prefaced by the word
"calendar".

Besides
applying barrels (b or bbl) and standard cubic feet (scf) for reporting oil and gas reserves and production, Sasol applies the Système International (SI) metric
measures for all global operations. A ton, or tonne, denotes one metric ton equivalent to 1 000 kilograms (kg). Sasol's reference to metric
tons should not be confused with an imperial ton equivalent to 2 240 pounds (or about 1 016 kg). Barrels per day, or bpd, or bbl/d, is used to refer to our oil and gas
production.

In
addition, in line with a particular South African distinction under the auspices of the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), all Sasol global reporting emanating from South
Africa uses the decimal comma (e.g., 3,5) instead of the more familiar decimal point (e.g., 3.5) used in the UK, US and elsewhere. Similarly, a hard space is used to distinguish
thousands in numeric figures (e.g., 2 500) instead of a comma (e.g., 2,500).

All
references to billions in this Form 20-F are to thousands of millions.

All
references to the "group", "us", "we", "our", "the company", or "Sasol" in this Form 20-F are to Sasol Limited, its group of subsidiaries and its interests in associates,
joint ventures and special purpose entities. All references in this Form 20-F are to Sasol Limited or the companies comprising the group, as the context may require. All references to
"(Pty) Ltd" refers to Proprietary Limited, a form of corporation in South Africa which restricts the right of transfer of its shares and prohibits the public offering of its shares.

3

---



Table of Contents

All
references in this Form 20-F to "South Africa" and "the government" are to the Republic of South Africa and its government. All references to the "JSE" are to the JSE Limited
or Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the securities exchange of our primary listing. All references to "SARB" refer to the South African Reserve Bank. All references to "PPI" and "CPI" refer to the South
African Producer Price Index and Consumer Price Index, respectively, which are measures of inflation in South Africa. All references to "GTL" and "CTL" refer to our
gas-to-liquids and coal-to-liquids processes, respectively.

Certain
industry terms used in this Form 20-F are defined in the Glossary of Terms.

Unless
otherwise stated, presentation of financial information in this annual report on Form 20-F will be in terms of IFRS. Our discussion of business segment results follows the
basis used by the group executive committee (GEC) (the company's chief operating decision maker) for segmental financial decisions, resource allocation and performance assessment, which forms the
accounting basis for segmental reporting, that is disclosed to the investing and reporting public.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements, including in this Form 20-F, in other filings with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in reports to shareholders and in other communications. These statements may relate to analyses and other information which are based on forecasts of
future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to:



Words
such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour" and "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

5

---



Table of Contents

By
their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections and
other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in such forward-looking statements. You should understand that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations,
estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include among others, and without limitation:



The
foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive; when making investment decisions, you should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events, and you should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they are made and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a public company incorporated under the company law of South Africa. Most of our directors and officers reside outside the
United States, principally in South Africa. You may not be able, therefore, to effect service of process within the United States upon those directors and officers with respect to matters arising
under the federal securities laws of the United States.

In
addition, most of our assets and the assets of most of our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to enforce against us or our
directors and officers judgements obtained in United States courts predicated on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

There
are additional factors to be considered under South African law in respect of the enforceability, in South Africa (in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of
US courts) of
liabilities predicated on the US federal securities laws. These additional factors include, but are not necessarily limited to:



Based
on the foregoing, there is no certainty as to the enforceability in South Africa (in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of US courts) of liabilities
predicated on the US federal securities laws.

3.D    Risk factors

Fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition

The rand is the principal functional currency of our operations and we report our results in rand. However, a large part of our group's
turnover is denominated in US dollars and some part in euro, derived either from exports from South Africa or from our manufacturing and
distribution operations outside South Africa. Approximately 90% of our turnover is linked to the US dollar as petroleum prices in general and the price of most petroleum and chemical products are
based on global commodity and benchmark prices which are quoted in US dollars. A significant part of our capital expenditure is also US dollar-denominated, as it is directed to investments outside
South Africa or constitutes materials, engineering and construction costs imported into South Africa. The majority of our operating costs are either rand based for South African operations or euro
based for European

11

Table of Contents

operations.
Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rates between the rand and US dollar and/or euro may have a material effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition.

During
2013, the rand/US dollar exchange rate averaged R8,85 and fluctuated between a high of R10,21 and a low of R8,08. This compares to an average exchange rate of R7,78 during 2012
which fluctuated between a high of R8,58 and a low of R6,67. The rand exchange rate is affected by various international and South African economic and political factors. Subsequent to 30 June
2013, the rand has on average weakened against the US dollar and the euro. In general, a weakening of the rand would have a positive effect on our operating results. Conversely strengthening of the
rand would an adverse effect on our operating results.

Although
the exchange rate of the rand is primarily market-determined, its value at any time may not be an accurate reflection of its underlying value, due to the potential effect of,
among other factors, exchange controls. For more information regarding exchange controls in South Africa see "Item 10.DExchange controls".

We
use derivative instruments to protect us against adverse movements in exchange rates on certain transactional risks in accordance with our group hedging policies. See
"Item 11Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk".

Fluctuations in refining margins and crude oil, natural gas and petroleum product prices may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition

Market prices for crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products may fluctuate as they are subject to local and international supply and
demand fundamentals and factors over which we have no control. Worldwide supply conditions and the price levels of crude oil may be significantly influenced by international cartels, which control the
production of a significant proportion of the worldwide supply of crude oil, and by political developments, especially in the Middle East,
North Africa and Nigeria. Other factors which may influence the aggregate demand and hence affect the markets and prices for petroleum products in regions which influence South African fuel prices
through the Basic Fuel Price (BFP) price formula (used for the calculation of the refinery gate price of petroleum products in South Africa) and/or where we market these products include changes in
economic conditions, the price and availability of substitute fuels, changes in product inventory, product specifications and other factors. In recent years, prices for petroleum products have
fluctuated widely.

During
2013, the dated Brent crude oil price averaged US$108,66/b and fluctuated between a high of US$119,03/b and a low of US$95,51/b. This compares to an average dated Brent crude oil
price of US$112,42/b during 2012, which fluctuated between a high of US$128,14/b and a low of US$88,69/b.

A
substantial proportion of our turnover is derived from sales of petroleum and petrochemical products. Through our equity participation in the National Petroleum Refiners of South
Africa (Pty) Ltd (Natref) crude oil refinery, we are exposed to fluctuations in refinery margins resulting from differing fluctuations in international crude oil and petroleum product prices.
We are also exposed to changes in absolute levels of international petroleum product prices through our synthetic fuels and oil operations. Fluctuations in international crude oil prices affect our
results mainly through their indirect effect on the BFP price formula, see "Item 4.BBusiness overview"Sasol Synfuels" and "Sasol Oil", as well as the impact on oil
derived feedstock. Prices of petrochemical products and natural gas are also affected by fluctuations in crude oil prices.

We
use derivative instruments to protect us against day-to-day US dollar oil price and rand to US dollar exchange rate fluctuations affecting the acquisition cost of our crude oil needs.
See "Item 11Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk". While the use of these instruments may provide some protection against short-term fluctuations in crude oil
prices it does not protect us against

12

Table of Contents

longer
term fluctuations in crude oil prices or differing trends between crude oil and petroleum product prices.

We
are unable to accurately forecast fluctuations in refining margins and crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products prices. Fluctuations in any of these may have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Cyclicality in petrochemical product prices may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition

The demand for chemicals and especially products such as solvents, olefins, surfactants, fertilisers and polymers is cyclical.
Typically, higher demand during peaks in the industry business cycles leads producers to increase their production capacity. Although peaks in the business cycle have been characterised by increased
selling prices and higher operating margins, in the past such peaks have led to overcapacity with supply exceeding demand growth. Low periods during the industry business cycle are characterised by a
decrease in selling prices and excess capacity, which can depress operating margins. Lower prices for chemical products may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash
flows and financial condition.

We may not be able to exploit technological advances quickly and successfully or competitors may develop superior technologies

Most of our operations, including the gasification of coal and the manufacture of synfuels and petrochemical products, are highly
dependent on the development and use of advanced technologies. The development, commercialisation and integration of the appropriate advanced technologies can affect, among other things, the
competitiveness of our products, the continuity of our operations, our feedstock requirements and the capacity and efficiency of our production.

It
is possible that new technologies or novel processes may emerge and that existing technologies may be further developed in the fields in which we operate. Unexpected rapid advances in
employed technologies or the development of novel processes can affect our operations and product ranges in that they could render the technologies we utilise or the products we produce obsolete or
less competitive in the future. Difficulties in accessing new technologies may impede us from implementing them and competitive pressures may force us to implement these new technologies at a
substantial cost. Examples of new technologies which may in the future affect our business include the following:



We
cannot predict the effect of these or other technological changes or the development of new processes on our business or on our ability to provide competitive products. Our ability to
compete will

13

---



Table of Contents

depend
on our timely and cost-effective implementation of new technological advances. It will also depend on our success in commercialising these advances in spite of competition we may face.

In
addition to the technological challenges, a large number of our expansion projects are integrated across a number of Sasol businesses. Delays with the development of an integrated
project might, accordingly, have an impact on more than one Sasol business.

If
we are unable to implement new technologies in a timely or cost-efficient manner, or penetrate new markets in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer
requirements, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Our GTL and CTL projects may not prove sufficiently viable or as profitable as planned

We have constructed a gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in Qatar and are involved in constructing a GTL plant in Nigeria. In addition, we are
considering further GTL opportunities in Uzbekistan (front end engineering and design phase), the US (front end engineering and design phase) and Canada (feasibility phase has been completed and a
decision on the front end engineering and design phase will be taken at a later stage). A coal-to-liquids (CTL) project is being investigated in India (pre-feasibility phase). The development of these
projects is a capital-intensive process and requires us to commit significant capital expenditure and devote considerable management resources in utilising our existing experience and know-how,
especially in connection with Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technologies. See "Item 4.BBusiness overviewSasol Synfuels International".

The
processes used and the products developed by these projects may also give rise to patent risks in connection with the use of our GTL and CTL technologies. See below "Intellectual
property risks may adversely affect our freedom to operate our processes and sell our products and may dilute our competitive advantage".

The
group's strategic ambition is to grow sustainably, by accelerating our GTL portfolio. In assessing the viability of our GTL projects, we make a number of assumptions relating to
specific variables, mainly including:

variations in any one or more of the above factors that are beyond our control, or any other relevant factor, may adversely affect the profitability or even the viability of
our GTL investments. In view of the resources invested in these projects and their importance to our growth strategy, problems we may experience as a result of these factors may have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition and opportunities for future growth.

Increasing exposure related to investments in associates and joint venture companies may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition

We have invested in a number of associates and joint ventures as part of our strategy to expand operations globally. We are considering
opportunities for further upstream GTL investments, as well as opportunities in chemicals, to continue our local and global expansion. The development of these projects may require investments in
associates and joint ventures, most of which are aimed at facilitating entry into countries and/or sharing risk with third parties. Although the risks are shared, the objectives of associates and
joint venture partners, their ability to meet their financial and/or contractual obligations, their behaviour, as well as the increasing complexity of country specific legislation and regulations, may
impact negatively on our reputation and/or result in disputes and/or litigation, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition,
and may constrain the achievement of our growth objectives.

We may not achieve projected benefits of acquisitions or divestments

We may pursue strategic acquisitions or divestments. With any such transaction there is the risk that any benefits or synergies
identified at the time of acquisition may not be achieved as a result of changing or incorrect assumptions or materially different market conditions, or other factors. Furthermore, we could be found
liable for past acts or omissions of the acquired business without any adequate right of redress.

In
addition, delays in the sale of assets, or reductions in value realisable, may arise due to changing market conditions. Failure to achieve expected values from the sale of assets, or
delays in expected receipt or delivery of funds, may result in higher debt levels, underperformance of those businesses and possible loss of key personnel.

We may face constraints in obtaining the expected level of financing to pursue new business opportunities or support existing projects

As at 30 June 2013, we had authorised approximately R109,6 billion of group capital expenditure in respect of projects in
progress, of which we had spent approximately R42 billion by 30 June 2013. See "Item 5.FCapital commitments". Our capital expenditure plans and requirements are
subject to a number of risks, contingencies and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, and therefore the actual future capital expenditure and investments may differ significantly from
the current planned amounts.

Our
operating cash flow and banking facilities may be insufficient to meet all of these expenditures, depending on the timing and cost of development of these and other projects, as well
as operating performance and utilisation of our banking facilities. As a result, new sources of capital may be needed to meet the funding requirements of these developments, to fund ongoing business
activities and to pay dividends. Our ability to raise and service significant new sources of capital will be a function of macroeconomic conditions, the condition of the financial markets, future
prices for the products we sell, our operational performance and operating cash flow and debt position, among other factors.

Our
ability to raise further debt financing in the future, and the cost of such financing, will depend on, among other factors, our credit rating at the time. Our credit rating may be
affected by our ability

15

Table of Contents

to
maintain our outstanding debt and financial ratios at levels acceptable to the credit ratings agencies, our business prospects, the sovereign credit rating of the Republic of South Africa and other
factors. The sovereign credit rating of the Republic of South Africa was downgraded by Moody's Corporation and Standard & Poors (S&P) in 2012 and by Fitch Ratings in 2013. Following the
downgrade of South Africa's sovereign debt rating, S&P lowered our foreign currency long-term corporate credit rating on 16 October 2012. Any further downgrade of the South African sovereign
credit rating may have an adverse effect on our credit rating.

In
the event of unanticipated operating or financial challenges, any dislocation in financial markets, any further downgrade of our ratings by ratings agencies or new funding
limitations, our ability to pursue new business opportunities, invest in existing and new projects, fund our ongoing business activities and retire or service outstanding debt and pay dividends, could
be constrained, all of which could have an impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

There are country-specific risks relating to the countries in which we operate that could adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition

Several of our subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates operate in countries and regions that are subject to significantly differing
political, social, economic and market conditions. See "Item 4.BBusiness Overview" for a description of the extent of our operations in the main countries and regions. Although we
are a South African domiciled company and the majority of our operations are located in South Africa, we also have significant energy businesses in other African countries, chemical businesses in
Europe, the US, the Middle East and Asia, a joint venture in a GTL facility in Qatar, joint ventures in Canada and Uzbekistan and an economic interest in a GTL project in Nigeria.

Particular
aspects of country-specific risks that may have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition include:

(a)   Political, social and economic issues

We
have invested, or are in the process of investing in, significant operations in African, European, North American, Asian and Middle Eastern countries that have in the past, to a
greater or lesser extent, experienced political, social and economic uncertainty. Government policies, laws and regulations in countries in which we operate, or plan to operate, may change in the
future. There is also a risk that our plants that were constructed during buoyant market conditions will have to operate in markets in which product prices may have declined. The impact of such
changes on our ability to deliver on planned projects cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty and such changes may therefore have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

(b)   Fluctuations in inflation and interest rates

Macro
economic factors, such as higher inflation and interest rates, could adversely impact our ability to contain costs and/or ensure cost-effective debt financing in countries in which
we operate.

In
South Africa, consumer price inflation decreased to 5,5% in 2013 from 5,9% in 2012. While recorded inflation is still within the South African Reserve Bank's (SARB) 6%
inflation-target ceiling, the effect of global macroeconomic uncertainties, weak domestic economic growth and high unemployment rates contributed to the SARB leaving the bank lending policy interest
rate unchanged at 5,0% throughout 2013.

The
significant weakening of the rand over the past two years poses a significant upside risk to the inflation outlook. However, given perceived limited producer pricing power in a weak
economic growth environment, the currency depreciation pass-through effect is expected to remain relatively muted as compared to previous episodes of currency weakness. Trends in food and fuel prices
and unit labour

16

Table of Contents

costs
also remain key risks to the inflation outlook, but these risks are, in our view, outweighed by an uncertain global economic environment and relatively subdued growth conditions in South Africa.
As such, we expect the SARB to maintain the bank lending policy interest rate at its current level of 5,0% until late in the 2014 calendar year.

(c)   Transportation, water and other infrastructure

The
infrastructure in some countries in which we operate, such as rail infrastructure, electricity and water supply may need to be further upgraded and expanded, and in certain
instances, possibly at our own cost. Water, as a resource, is becoming increasingly limited as world demand for water increases. In South Africa, the risk that water may become significantly limited
is exacerbated by the fact that it is one of the drier countries in the world. Water use by our operations varies widely depending largely on feedstock and technology choice. While a GTL plant is
typically a net producer of water, a CTL process has a significant water requirement, driven by the need to produce hydrogen and additional cooling requirements. Although various technological
advances may improve the water efficiency of our processes, we may experience limited water availability and other infrastructural challenges, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition and future growth.

(d)   Disruptive industrial action

The
majority of our employees worldwide belong to trade unions. These employees comprise mainly general workers, artisans and technical operators. During August to October 2012, the gold
and platinum mining sector in South Africa experienced significant disruptions and unprecedented violence in connection with strikes by employees. Following these strikes, double digit wage increases
were awarded to employees in the gold and platinum mining sectors. The 2013 wage bargaining processes has been challenging and and have resulted in major sectors of the South African economy
experiencing strike action (e.g. auto manufacturing, construction and gold mining). The operations of the Sasol group falling within the Petroleum and Chemicals sectors were not impacted by
strike action during 2013. The mining operations of the group were subject to strike action. The strike, which was quickly resolved, was initiated by one of the five unions involved with Sasol Mining.
The strike involved about 10 percent of the employees in Sasol Mining Secunda and had little impact on the continued
running of the operations. Although we have constructive relations with our employees and their unions, we cannot assure you that significant labour disruptions will not occur in the future.

(e)   Exchange control regulations

South
African law provides for exchange control regulations which apply to transactions involving South African residents, including both natural persons and legal entities. These
regulations may restrict the export of capital from South Africa, including foreign investments. The regulations may also affect our ability to borrow funds from non-South African sources for use in
South Africa, including the repayment of these borrowings from South Africa and, in some cases, our ability to guarantee the obligations of our subsidiaries with regard to these funds. These
restrictions may affect the manner in which we finance our transactions outside South Africa and the geographic distribution of our debt. See "Item 10.DExchange controls" and
"Item 5.BLiquidity and capital resources".

(f)    Localisation issues

In
some countries, our operations are required to comply with local procurement, employment equity, equity participation and other regulations which are designed to address
country-specific social and economic transformation and localisation issues.

Table of Contents

In
South Africa, there are various transformation initiatives with which we are required to comply. We embrace, will engender and participate in initiatives to bring about meaningful
transformation in South Africa. We consider these initiatives to be a strategic imperative and we acknowledge the risk of not vigorously pursuing them.

We
are a participant in transformation charters in the liquid fuels and mining industry in South Africa, pursuant to which we have undertaken to enable historically disadvantaged South
Africans to hold at least 25% equity ownership in our liquid fuels business and 26% equity ownership, by 2014, in our mining business. Sasol Mining's BEE ownership currently is above 40%. See
"Item 4.BEmpowerment of historically disadvantaged South Africans".

The
Minister of Trade and Industry published the Codes of Good Practice for broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) on 9 February 2007, effective from the date of
publication. These codes provide a standard framework for the measurement of BBBEE across all sectors of the economy, other than the mining industry. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in
South Africa has gazetted the revised BBBEE Codes of Conduct. If the proposed codes are adopted, they could have a negative impact on Sasol's BBBEE contributor status.

We
have complied with the current requirements of said codes and other requirements of the Liquid Fuels Charter, Mining Charter and the Codes of Good Practice for BBBEE. We believe that
the long-term benefits to the company and our country should outweigh any possible short-term adverse effects, but we cannot assure you that future implications of compliance with these requirements
or with any newly imposed conditions will not have a material adverse effect on our shareholders or business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. See
"Item 4.BEmpowerment of historically disadvantaged South Africans".

(g)   Engineering, procurement and construction contract costs

We
have a significant capital portfolio and are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the price and supply of engineering, procurement and construction services globally. Of particular
concern is the availability of scarce technical skills and capacity, of which we are currently not expecting the abnormal inflationary pressures of the pre-recession period, but rather low to moderate
increases as gradual economic recovery sets in. Significant fluctuations and volatility is, however, currently being observed. Scarce technical skills remain a key factor, to a varying degree, in
different geographical areas. Cost increases will depend on the region and market dynamics, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition.

(h)   Ownership rights

We
operate in several countries where ownership of rights in respect of land and resources is uncertain and where disputes in relation to ownership or other community matters may arise.
These disputes are not always predictable and may cause disruption to our operations or development plans.

(i)    Stakeholder relationships

Our
operations can also have an impact on local communities, including the need, from time to time, to relocate or resettle communities or infrastructure networks such as railways and
utility services. Failure to manage relationships with local communities, governments and non-government organisations may harm our reputation as well as our ability to bring development projects into
production. In addition, the costs and management time required to comply with standards of social responsibility,
community relations and sustainability, including costs related to resettlement of communities or infrastructure, have increased substantially recently and are expected to further increase over time.

(j)    Other specific country risks that are applicable to countries in which we operate and which may have a material impact on our business
include:



Some
of the countries where we have already made, or other countries where we may consider making, investments are in various stages of developing institutions and legal and regulatory
systems that are characteristic of democracies. However, institutions in these countries may not yet be as firmly established as they are in democracies in South Africa, North America and some
European countries. Some of these countries are also transitioning to a market economy and, as a result, are experiencing changes in their economies and their government policies that could affect our
investments in these countries.

Moreover,
the procedural safeguards of the new legal and regulatory regimes in these countries are still being developed and, therefore, existing laws and regulations may be applied
inconsistently. In some
circumstances, it may not be possible to obtain the legal remedies provided under those laws and regulations in a timely manner.

As
the political, economic and legal environments remain subject to continuous development, investors in these countries face uncertainty as to the security of their investments. Any
unexpected changes in the political or economic conditions in the countries in which we operate (including neighbouring countries) may have a material adverse effect on the investments that we have
made or may make in the future, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Electricity supply interruptions and increases in electricity costs in South Africa could adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition
and future growth

With
the recent commissioning of additional power generation equipment, Sasol is capable of generating up to 69% of its total South African power supply needs
internally. However, our South African operations remain dependent on power generated by the state-owned utility, Eskom. During 2008, South Africa experienced significant electricity supply
interruptions, and although the situation has improved since then, the electricity supply remains constrained. Although Eskom is implementing a number of short- and long-term mitigation plans, we
cannot assure you that we will not experience power supply interruptions which could have material adverse effects on our business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition and future
growth.

Furthermore,
South Africa is experiencing higher than normal electricity price increases. After annual increases of 24,8%, 25,8% and 16,0% from 2010 to 2012, the National Energy
Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) granted Eskom annual price increases of 8,0% for the five years of the next

19

---



Table of Contents

multi-year
pricing dispensation, which started from April 2013. We have entered into short-term power purchase agreements for incremental generation with Eskom which mitigates these price increases to
some extent. However, any sharp increase in electricity costs may have material adverse effects on our business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition and future growth.

We may not be in compliance with laws or regulations in the countries in which we operate

The industry in which we operate is highly regulated and requires compliance with a myriad of laws and regulations, governing matters
such as minerals and mining, development of pipelines, trading in petroleum products and gas as well as, safety, health and environment, in our South African and global operations. Non-compliance can
impact business performance dramatically. Although systems and processes are in place, monitored and improved upon, to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that
we will be in compliance with all laws and regulations at all times. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,
cash flows and financial condition.

New South African mining legislation may have an adverse effect on our mineral rights

Since the enactment of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 28 of 2002, (MPRDA) in May 2004, our subsidiary, Sasol
Mining (Pty) Ltd, has been successful in converting its prospecting permits and mining authorisations to new order prospecting and mining rights in terms of the MPRDA. The new order mining
rights, known as converted mining rights, became effective on 29 March 2011. The converted new order mining right in respect of the Secunda area has been granted for a period of ten years,
while those in respect of the Mooikraal operations in Sasolburg have been granted for a period of thirty years. We are making good progress with our application to extend our Secunda area mining right
from 10 years (7 years left) to 30 years, which is the maximum allowable period under the MPRDA. In addition to the initial validity period, our converted mining rights may, on
application, be renewed for further periods not exceeding thirty years each.

If
a holder of a prospecting right or mining right conducts prospecting or mining operations in contravention of the MPRDA, including the Mining Charter, the converted mining rights can
be suspended or cancelled by the Minister of Mineral Resources if the entity, upon receiving a notice of breach from the Minister, fails to remedy such breach. The MPRDA and applicable provisions in
the National Environmental Management Act and National Water Act impose additional responsibilities with respect to environmental management as well as the prevention of environmental pollution,
degradation or damage from mining and/or prospecting activities.

The
MPRDA Amendment Bill, 2013 has been introduced in the National Assembly of the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa. During September 2013, the Portfolio Committee of the
National Assembly responsible for processing this Bill has been holding public hearings on the proposed amendments. The proposed amendments, should they be approved in their current form, will impact
our business activities. We have made submissions to the Department of Mineral Resources and the Portfolio Committee to raise our concerns.

We
cannot assure you that the proposed changes will not affect our operations, mining and petroleum rights in the future and, as a result, have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results, cash flows and financial condition. See "Item 4.BBusiness overviewRegulation of mining activities in South Africa".

New legislation in South Africa on petroleum and energy activities may have an adverse impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition

The Petroleum Products Amendment Act (the Petroleum Act) requires persons involved in the manufacturing, wholesale and retail sale of
petroleum products to obtain relevant licences for such

20

Table of Contents

activities.
Sasol Oil, Natref and Sasol Synfuels submitted applications for their respective operations, and the Sasol Oil and Sasol Synfuels wholesale licence applications have been approved and
issued. The Natref manufacturing licence application is still under review by the Department of Energy. Nevertheless, these facilities continue to operate, as being persons who, as of the effective
date of the Petroleum Act, manufactured petroleum products, they are deemed to be holders of a licence until their applications have been finalised. Until these applications have been finalised, we
cannot assure you that the conditions of the licences may not have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. See
"Item 4.BBusiness overviewRegulation of petroleum-related activities in South Africa".

The
Department of Energy will, by 2017, implement new fuel specifications and standards (Clean Fuels 2), which are aligned to EURO 5 fuel specifications, to reduce the environmental
impact caused by vehicle emissions. The introduction of the new specifications and standards by 2017 will require capital investment in our manufacturing facilities. We cannot assure you that these
new specifications will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

The
Department of Energy has embarked on a process of reviewing the methodology for the determination of margins relating to the regulated fuel price mechanism known as the Regulatory
Accounting System. The ultimate goal of the Regulatory Accounting System is to achieve a uniform and transparent set of regulatory accounts, whereby costs are allocated on predetermined methods,
thereby providing certainty to investors with regard to the return on assets throughout the petroleum industry value chain (wholesale, coastal storage and handling, secondary storage, secondary
distribution and the benchmark service station). Implementation of the Regulatory Accounting System commenced in December 2011 and the Department of Energy has afforded the industry a period of
24 months to
amend commercial agreements between oil company franchisors and fuel retail franchisees. We cannot assure you that the final cost allocation model will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

The
Gas Act regulates matters relating to gas transmission, storage, distribution, liquefaction and re-gasification activities. NERSA has published guidelines for determining
transmission and storage tariffs for piped-gas in South Africa, as well as a methodology to determine maximum gas prices. In addition, a draft Gas Amendment Bill has been published for comment and
Sasol has subsequently commented on the proposed changes. The implementation and enforcement of these tariffs and prices, as well as future amendments to the Gas Act, may have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

The
ten year regulatory dispensation negotiated with the South African government with respect to the supply of Mozambican natural gas to the South African market is expiring in March
2014. In accordance with the regulatory framework relating to gas prices and tariffs, NERSA has on 26 March 2013 approved transmission tariffs and maximum gas prices which will apply to our gas
business in South Africa after the expiry of the aforesaid regulatory dispensation. We cannot assure you that the provisions of the Gas Act and the implementation of a new gas price and tariff
methodology pursuant to the NERSA approvals will not have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. See "Item 4.BBusiness
overviewRegulation of gas related activities in South Africa".

Changes in safety, health and environmental regulations and legislation and public opinion may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition

Failure to comply with applicable safety, health and environmental laws, regulations or permit requirements may result in fines or
penalties or enforcement actions, including regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, installation of pollution

Table of Contents

control
equipment, decommissioning or other remedial actions, any of which could entail significant expenditures.

We
are subject to a wide range of general and industry-specific environmental, health and safety and other legislation in jurisdictions in which we operate. See
"Item 4.BBusiness
overviewRegions in which Sasol operates and their applicable legislation". Compliance with these requirements is a significant factor in our business, and we incur, and expect to continue
to incur, significant capital and operating expenditures in order to continue to comply with these requirements. These laws and regulations and their enforcement are likely to become more stringent
over time. We may be required in some cases to incur additional expenditure in order to comply with such legislation.

Similarly,
public opinion is growing more sensitive to consumer health and safety, environmental and climate change protection matters, and, as a result, markets may apply pressure on us
concerning certain of our products, manufacturing processes, transport and distribution arrangements. As a result of these additional costs of compliance and other factors, including pressures related
to public opinion, we may be required to withdraw certain products from the market, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

We
continue to take remedial actions at a number of sites due to soil and groundwater contamination. The process of investigation and remediation can be lengthy and is subject to the
uncertainties of site specific factors, changing legal requirements, developing technologies, the allocation of liability among multiple parties and the discretion of regulators. Accordingly, we
cannot estimate with certainty the actual amount and timing of costs associated with site remediation.

In
order to continue to comply with safety, health and environmental licences, laws and regulations, we may have to incur costs which we may finance from our available cash flows or from
alternative sources of financing. We may be required to provide for financial security for environmental rehabilitation in the form of a trust fund, guarantee, deposit or other methods as may be
required by legislation imposing obligations in respect of decommissioning and rehabilitation of environmental impacts. No assurance can be given that changes in safety, health and environmental laws
and regulations or their application or the discovery of previously unknown contamination or other liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows
and financial condition.

Mining
is a hazardous industry and working conditions including weather, altitude and temperature can add to the inherent dangers of mining. The mining process, including blasting and
processing ore bodies, can generate environmental impacts including dust and noise and may require the storage of waste materials, including in liquid form. Dust, noise or leakage of polluting
substances from site operations or mine residue facilities have the potential to generate harm to our employees, the communities near our operations or the environment.

Failure
to provide a safe and healthy working environment may result in government authorities forcing closure of mines on a temporary or permanent basis or refusing mining right
applications. We could face civil or criminal fines and penalties, liability to employees and third parties for injury, illness or death, statutory liability for environmental remediation, and other
financial consequences, which may be significant.

In
addition, our manufacturing processes may utilise and result in the emission of substances with potential health risks. We also manufacture products which may pose health risks.
Although we apply a duty of care principle and implement health and safety, product stewardship, the Chemical and Allied Industries' Association Responsible Care® programme and other
measures to eliminate or mitigate associated potential risks, we may be subject to liabilities as a result of the use or exposure to these materials or emissions.

Regulation of greenhouse gas emissions could increase our operational cost and reduce demand for our products

Continued political attention to issues concerning climate change, the role of human activity in it, and potential mitigation through
regulation could have a material impact on our operations and financial results. International agreements and national or regional legislation and regulatory measures to limit greenhouse emissions are
currently in various stages of discussion or implementation.

For
instance, a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions could be achieved through market-based regulatory programmes, technology-based or performance-based standards or a combination of
them. South Africa has entered into a voluntary non-binding agreement to take, subject to certain conditions, nationally appropriate mitigation action to enable a 34% deviation below "business as
usual" emissions growth trajectory by 2020, and 42% by 2025. Current measures in South Africa have already resulted in increased compliance costs for power suppliers that are passed to us in the form
of levies for electricity generated from fossil fuels. These levies may increase substantially over time. The climate change management policy process, culminated in the publication of a Climate
Change Response White Paper, in November 2011 and, in May 2013, a second carbon tax discussion document was published for comment. We responded by indicating that Sasol does not support the proposed
carbon tax in its current form as:



Our
experts are participating in several working groups, together with the South African government and other stakeholders, to develop the standards and guidelines which would give
effect to the country's climate change response white paper.

The
development of these and other greenhouse gas emissions-related laws, policies and regulations may result in substantial capital, compliance, operating and maintenance costs. The
level of expenditure required to comply with any laws and regulations is uncertain and will depend on a number of factors including, among others, the sectors covered, the greenhouse gas emissions
reductions required by law, the extent to which we would be entitled to receive any emission allowance allocations or would need to purchase compliance instruments on the open market or through
auctions, the price and availability of emission allowances and credits, and the impact of legislation or other regulation on our ability to recover the costs incurred through the pricing of our
products. Material price increases or incentives to conserve or use alternative energy sources could reduce demand for products we currently sell and adversely affect our sales volumes, revenues and
margins.

We are subject to competition and antitrust laws

Violations of competition/antitrust legislation could expose the group to administrative penalties and civil claims and damages,
including punitive damages, by entities which can prove they were harmed by such conduct. Such penalties and damages could be significant and have an adverse impact on our business, operating results,
cash flows and financial condition. In addition, there is also the significant reputational damage that accompanies findings of such contraventions as well as imprisonment or fines for individuals in
some countries where antitrust violations are a criminal offence. Competition authorities are increasingly engaging with each other to exchange information relating to potential violation of antitrust
laws and enforce antitrust laws.

The
South African Competition Commission is conducting investigations into the piped gas, petroleum, fertilisers and polymer industries. The group has cooperated with competition
authorities to

23

---



Table of Contents

deal
pro-actively with non-compliance matters. We continue to interact and cooperate with the South African Competition Commission in respect of leniency applications as well as in the areas that are
subject to the South African Competition Commission investigations. Refer to "Item 4.B Business overviewLegal proceedings and other contingencies". Although it is our policy to
comply with all laws, and notwithstanding training and compliance programmes, we could nonetheless contravene competition or antitrust laws and be subject to the imposition of fines, criminal
sanctions and/or civil claims and damages. This could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

The
competition law compliance risks mentioned above will escalate for companies as the provisions contained in the Competition Law Amendment Act of 2009 relating to market enquiries
became effective as from 1 April 2013. The market enquiry provisions grant the Competition Commission the authority to conduct inquiries into the general state of competition in any market in
South Africa for particular goods or services without referring to specific prohibited conduct or a particular firm. The remaining sections of the Competition Law Amendment Act of 2009 have not as yet
come into effect. Should the remainder of the sections relating to individual criminal liability for collusion as well as the concept of a "complex monopoly" become effective the competition law
compliance risks mentioned above will be further aggravated. This could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

We may not be successful in attracting and retaining sufficiently skilled employees

We are highly dependent on the continuous development and successful application of new technologies. In order to achieve this, we need
to maintain a focus on recruiting and retaining qualified scientists, engineers, project execution skills, artisans and operators. In addition, we are dependent on highly skilled employees in business
and functional roles to establish new business ventures as well as to maintain existing operations.

The
quality and availability of skills in certain labour markets is impacted by the challenges within the education and training systems in certain countries in which we operate, such as
South Africa and Mozambique. The retention of staff is particularly challenging in South Africa, where in addition to global industry shortages of skilled employees, we and our competitors are also
required to achieve employment equity targets. Localisation and other similar legislation in countries in which we operate are equally challenging to the attraction and retention of sufficiently
skilled employees.

The
shortage of skilled employees will be further exacerbated as global economic recovery progresses and we compete with a global industry for skilled and experienced employees. Failure
to attract and
retain people with the right capabilities and experience could negatively affect our ability to introduce and maintain the appropriate technological improvements to our business, our ability to
successfully construct and commission new plants or establish new business ventures. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Intellectual property risks may adversely affect our freedom to operate our processes and sell our products and may dilute our competitive advantage

Our various products and processes, including most notably, our chemical, CTL and GTL products and processes have unique
characteristics and chemical structures and, as a result, are subject to confidentiality and/or patent protection, the extent of which varies from country to country. Rapid changes in our technology
commercialisation strategy may result in a misalignment between our intellectual property protection filing strategy and the countries in which we operate. The disclosure of our confidential
information and/or the expiry of a patent may result in increased competition in the market for our products and processes, although the continuous supplementation of our patent portfolio mitigates
such risk to an extent. In addition, aggressive patenting by our competitors,

24

---



Table of Contents

particularly
in countries like the US and China, may result in an increased patent infringement risk and may constrain our ability to operate in our preferred markets.

A
significant percentage of our products can be regarded as commodity chemicals, some of which have unique characteristics and chemical structure. These products are normally utilised by
our clients as feedstock to manufacture specialty chemicals or application-type products. We have noticed a worldwide trend of increased filing of patents relating to the composition of product
formulations and the applications thereof. These patents may create pressure on those of our clients who market these product formulations which may adversely affect our sales to these clients. These
patents may also increase our risk to exposure from limited indemnities provided to our clients of these products. Patent-related pressures may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash
flows and financial condition.

We
believe that our proprietary technology, know-how, confidential information and trade secrets, provide us with a competitive advantage. A possible loss of experienced personnel to
competitors, and a possible transfer of know-how and trade secrets associated therewith, may negatively impact this advantage. In addition, the patenting by our competitors of technology built on our
know-how obtained through former employees may result in additional risk.

Similarly,
operating and licensing technology in countries in which intellectual property laws are not well established and enforced may result in an inability to effectively enforce our
intellectual property rights. The risk of some transfer of our know-how and trade secrets to our competitors is increased by the increase in the number of licences granted under our intellectual
property, as well as the increase in the number of licensed plants which are brought into operation through entities which we do not control. As intellectual property warranties and indemnities are
provided under each new licence granted, the cumulative risk increases accordingly.

The
above risks may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Increasing competition by products originating from countries with low production costs may adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition

Certain of our chemical production facilities are located in developed countries, including the US and Europe. Economic and political
conditions in these countries result in relatively high labour costs and, in some regions, relatively inflexible labour markets. Increasing competition from regions with lower production costs and
more flexible labour markets, for example the Middle East, India and China, exerts pressure on the competitiveness of our chemical products and, therefore, on our profit margins. This could result in
the withdrawal of particular products or the closure of specific facilities. We cannot assure you that increasing competition from products originating from countries with lower production costs will
not result in withdrawal of our products or closure of our facilities, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

We may face potential costs in connection with industry-related accidents or deliberate acts of terror causing property damage, personal injuries or environmental
contamination

We operate coal mines, explore for and produce oil and gas and operate a number of plants and facilities for the manufacture, storage,
processing and transportation of oil, chemicals and gas, related raw materials, products and wastes. These facilities and their respective operations are subject to various risks, such as fires,
explosions, releases and loss of containment of hazardous substances, soil and water contamination, flooding and land subsidence, among others. As a result, we are subject to the risk of experiencing,
and have in the past experienced, industry-related incidents. Our facilities are also subject to the risk of deliberate acts of terror.

Table of Contents

Our
main Sasol Synfuels production facilities are concentrated in a relatively small area in Secunda, South Africa. This facility utilises feedstock from our mining and gas businesses,
whilst the chemical and oil businesses rely on the facility for the raw materials it produces. Accidents and acts of terror may result in damage to our facilities and may require shutdown of the
affected facilities, thereby disrupting production, increasing production costs and may even disrupt the mining, gas, chemicals and oil businesses which make up a significant portion of our total
income. Furthermore, accidents or acts of terror at our longstanding operations may have caused, or may in future cause, environmental contamination, personal injuries, health impairment or fatalities
and may result in exposure to extensive environmental remediation costs, civil litigation, the imposition of fines and penalties and the need to obtain or implement costly pollution control
technology.

Our
products are ultimately sold to customers around the globe and this exposes us to risks related to the transportation of such products by road, rail or marine vessels. Such
activities take place in the public domain exposing us to incident risks over which we have limited control.

It
is Sasol's policy to procure appropriate property damage and business interruption insurance cover for its production facilities above acceptable deductible levels at acceptable
commercial premiums. However, full cover for all loss scenarios may not be available at acceptable commercial rates, and we cannot give any assurance that the insurance procured for any particular
year would cover all potential risks sufficiently or that the insurers will have the financial ability to pay all claims that may arise.

The
costs we may incur as a result of the above or related factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

We may face the risk of information security breaches or attempts to disrupt critical information technology services, which may negatively impact on our operations

The increasing uses of information technology (IT) systems in operations are making all industries, including the energy and chemicals
industries, much more susceptible to cyber threats. Recent global trends have shown that the energy sector is increasingly becoming the target of cyber-attacks. Although we have an information
security programme in place, Sasol may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks and attempts to gain unauthorised access to our IT systems. Disruption of critical IT services, or breaches of information
security, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Our coal, synthetic oil, natural oil and natural gas reserve estimates may be materially different from quantities that we eventually recover

Our reported coal, synthetic oil, natural oil and gas reserves are estimated quantities based on applicable reporting regulations that
under present and anticipated conditions have the potential to be economically mined, processed or produced.

There
are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and in projecting future rates of production, including factors which are beyond our control. The accuracy
of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgement.

Reserve
estimates will require revision based on actual production experience and other factors, including extensions and discoveries. In addition, regulatory changes, market prices,
increased production costs and other factors may result in a revision to estimated reserves. Significantly revised estimates may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash
flows and financial condition. See "Item 4.DProperty, plants and equipment".

Our international activities increase the compliance risks associated with economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union and other
jurisdictions

Our international operations could expose us to trade and economic sanctions or other restrictions imposed by the United States or
other governments or organisations, including the United Nations, the European Union and its member countries. Under economic and trading sanctions laws, governments may seek to impose modifications
to business practices, and modifications to compliance programmes, which may increase compliance costs, and may subject us to fines, penalties and other sanctions. During 2011 and continuing into 2012
and 2013, the scope of sanctions imposed against the government of Iran and persons engaging in certain activities or doing certain business with and relating to Iran has been expanded by a number of
jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union and Canada.

Activities in Iran

The activities listed below relate to our 50% shareholding in Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC), which we disposed of on
16 August 2013 (the "Divestment Date") in a process for which we obtained a licence from the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The activities listed below have been
conducted outside the US by non-US Sasol subsidiaries and references to Sasol shall mean such non-US subsidiaries for purposes of the description of our activities listed below.

Arya Sasol Polymer Company

For the year ended 30 June 2013, Sasol held a 50% shareholding in ASPC, an Iranian joint venture with Pars Petrochemical
Company. ASPC is a manufacturer and supplier of ethylene, low density polyethylene, and medium and high density polyethylene.

For
the year ended 30 June 2013, Sasol received dividend payments from ASPC in an amount equal to R377 190 901 and ASPC repaid shareholder loans to Sasol
in an amount equal to R983 104 940.

Sale of Arya Sasol Polymer Company products

During 2013, Sasol engaged in the marketing and distribution of polymer products manufactured by ASPC, including ethylene, low density
polyethylene, and medium and high density polyethylene.

For
the year ended 30 June 2013, Sasol's marketing and distribution of ASPC products generated a gross revenue of R2 691 789 451 and a net
profit of R293 508 016.

For
the year ended 30 June 2013, Sasol made payments to ASPC in an aggregate amount equal to R2 268 309 804 in respect of polymer products
manufactured by ASPC that were marketed and distributed by Sasol.

Other matters

During 2013, Sasol seconded certain of its employees to ASPC pursuant to a personnel agreement. None of these employees were US
citizens. Sasol made salary and other compensation related payments to the seconded employees and was reimbursed for such payments by ASPC.

During
2013, ASPC paid management service fees in an amount equal to R15 566 754 to Sasol in exchange for management services.

For
the year ended 30 June 2013, Sasol made payments to the Maccauvlei Learning Academy, a South African provider of human resource development services, in an amount equal to
R1 041 298, which provided educational services to certain of the employees of ASPC.

Sale of SPI International (Pty) Ltd

On the Divestment Date, Sasol Investment Company (Pty) Ltd entered into a definitive sale and share purchase agreement pursuant
to which Main Street 1095 (Pty) Ltd, a South African subsidiary of the Armed Forces Social Welfare Investment Organization of Iran, an Iranian pension fund, completed and effected the
acquisition of 100% of the shares of SPI International (Pty) Ltd. SPI International (Pty) Ltd is the indirect owner of Sasol's 50% shareholding in ASPC. The total purchase price for the
sale of SPI International (Pty) Ltd was R2 402 million (AED 873 541 486 or US$238 million), to be paid by Main Street 1095 (Pty) Ltd
to Sasol Investment Company (Pty) Ltd in several installments, the last of which will become due and payable no later than 20 November 2013. As of 30 September 2013, Sasol
Investment Company (Pty) Ltd had received purchase price payments totaling R1 799 million (AED 669 950 097) from Main Street 1095
(Pty) Ltd.

As
a result of the sale of SPI International (Pty) Ltd, Sasol has no ownership interest in ASPC and no on-going investment in Iran. The sale of SPI International (Pty) Ltd
was authorised by OFAC pursuant to License No. IA-2013-299863-1.

The
sale and share purchase agreement contains limited warranties given by Sasol Investment Company (Pty) Ltd in favor of Main Street 1095 (Pty) Ltd as to, among other
things, title to the shares of SPI International (Pty) Ltd. In addition, Main Street 1095 (Pty) Ltd has committed not to use the Sasol name or any related names or trademarks, other than
the name "Arya Sasol". Main Street 1095 (Pty) Ltd's right to use the name "Arya Sasol" will expire on 16 August 2015.

During
the period beginning on 1 July 2013 and ending on the Divestment Date, Sasol received dividend payments from ASPC in an amount equal to
R186 092 728. Sasol will not receive any further dividend payments from ASPC.

In
connection with polymer products ordered by Sasol from ASPC and delivered prior to the Divestment Date, Sasol currently has amounts payable to ASPC. In addition, prior to the
Divestment Date, Sasol made commitments on product offtake (and has certain Sasol branded inventory in ASPC which Sasol has procured in order to prevent ASPC selling this product in the market). Sasol
anticipates all product will be delivered by ASPC by 30 October 2013. In connection with these commitments, Sasol anticipates that further amounts will be payable to ASPC by Sasol. Sasol has no
other commitments to acquire products from ASPC and will not make further purchases of ASPC products.

In
connection with other transactions between Sasol and ASPC prior to the Divestment Date, including in respect of management services, salary and other compensation related payments for
Sasol employees that were seconded to ASPC, Sasol currently has amounts receivable from ASPC. Sasol no longer provides seconded employees or management services to ASPC. We no longer make any payments
to the Maccauvlei Learning Academy for services to ASPC employees.

Sasol
may be unable to settle the net outstanding amounts payable to or receivable from ASPC due to sanctions.

Arrangements with Financial Institutions

During the year ended 30 June 2013, in connection with the foregoing transactions, Sasol, which is not blocked pursuant to U.S.
Executive Order Nos. 13224 or 13382, has used banks that are blocked pursuant to those U.S. Executive Orders. Since the Divestment Date, Sasol has not used any bank that is blocked pursuant to
any U.S. Executive Order.

Although
we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, and intend to maintain such compliance, there can be no assurance that we
will be in

compliance
in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations.

We
are monitoring developments in the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions that maintain sanctions programs, including developments in implementation and enforcement
of such sanctions programs. Expansion of sanctions programs, embargoes and other restrictions in the future (including additional designations of countries subject to sanctions), or modifications in
how existing sanctions are interpreted or enforced, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

The exercise of voting rights by holders of American Depositary Receipts is limited in some circumstances

Holders of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) may exercise voting rights with respect to the ordinary shares underlying their American
Depositary Shares (ADSs) only in accordance with the provisions of our deposit agreement (Deposit Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon, as the depositary (Depositary). For example, ADR holders
will not receive notice of a meeting directly from us. Rather, we will provide notice of a shareholders meeting to The Bank of New York Mellon in accordance with the Deposit Agreement. The Bank of New
York Mellon has undertaken in turn, as soon as practicable after receipt of our notice, to mail voting materials to holders of ADRs. These voting materials include information on the matters to be
voted on as contained in our notice of the shareholders meeting and a statement that the holders of ADRs on a specified date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of the laws of South
Africa and our Memorandum of Incorporation, to instruct The Bank of New York Mellon as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the shares underlying their respective ADSs on a specified
date. In addition, holders of our ADRs will be required to instruct The Bank of New York Mellon how to exercise these voting rights.

Upon
the written instruction of an ADR holder, The Bank of New York Mellon will endeavour, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the shares underlying the ADSs in
accordance with the instructions received. If instructions from an ADR holder are not received by The Bank of New York Mellon by the date specified in the voting materials, The Bank of New York Mellon
will not request a proxy on behalf of such holder. The Bank of New York Mellon will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with the instructions received from ADR
holders.

We
cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct The Bank of New York Mellon to vote the shares underlying your ADSs. In addition,
The Bank of New York Mellon and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions. This means that you may not be able
to exercise your right to vote and there may be no recourse if your voting rights are not exercised as you directed.

Sales of a large amount of Sasol's ordinary shares and ADSs could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the securities

Historically, trading volumes and liquidity of shares listed on the JSE Limited (JSE) have been low in comparison with other major
markets. The ability of a holder to sell a substantial number of Sasol's ordinary shares on the JSE in a timely manner, especially in a large block trade, may be restricted by this limited liquidity.
The sales of ordinary shares or ADSs, if substantial, or the perception that these sales may occur and be substantial, could exert downward pressure on the prevailing market prices for the Sasol
ordinary shares or ADSs, causing their market prices to decline.

Our activities

Sasol believes that its ability to compete and grow sustainably is contingent on internal collaboration, knowledge and resource
sharing, as well as building effective external partnerships and joint ventures in different markets, territories and cultural contexts. We cluster our businesses according to common business drivers.
Clustering, which involves creating linkages among logically related businesses that allow for strategic consistency and operational efficiencies, has been increasingly adopted by world-class
companies to become recognised best practice. The group's structure is organised into three focused business clustersSouth African Energy Cluster, International Energy Cluster and
Chemical Cluster.

We
divide our operations into the following segments:

Our strategy

Our primary strategic focus is:



In
addition, we are working to develop low-carbon electricity as our third major value chain, alongside liquid fuels and chemicals.

Continuously improving our existing foundation businessesTo drive improved operational and overall business performance, we continue to pursue two
corporate-wide initiatives focused upon operations and business excellence. These initiatives cut across all Sasol operations and are a key part of Sasol's strategy to more effectively extract value
from the company's existing integrated asset base, proprietary technology and product portfolio.

Commercialising and expanding our GTL technology growth prospectsWe have made further progress in growing our GTL businesses based on the Sasol
SPD process in natural gas-rich regions. The Sasol SPD process allows us to monetise underutilised gas resources by converting them into GTL kerosene, superior quality
diesel, naphtha and higher value chemicals in line with global trends towards cleaner fuel and reduced emissions to the environment.

The
prospects for GTL plants are promising, in light of the availability of gas at various locations in the world. The world-scale integrated GTL and chemicals facility in Louisiana in
the US is being implemented in phases. The ethane cracker and downstream derivatives units are currently in the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase. We expect beneficial operation for the
ethane cracker to be achieved during the 2017 calendar year, with the final investment decision to be taken during the 2014 calendar year. Our project in Uzbekistan is in the FEED phase and FEED
activities are expected to be completed during the second half of the 2013 calendar year. Our feasibility study to determine the technical and commercial viability of a GTL facility in Western Canada
was successfully completed at the end of June 2012. In accordance with the need to prioritise our growth portfolio, a decision was made to phase this investment opportunity after the integrated US GTL
and ethane cracker complex. A FEED decision for the GTL facility in Canada will, therefore, be considered at a later stage. In addition to these projects, we continue to explore other opportunities
for GTL, including an expansion of the facility in Qatar.

We
continue to assess various opportunities in a number of countries and, in support of this growth driver, our team of researchers continues to advance our next-generation GTL
technology, including our proprietary low-temperature Slurry Phase Fischer-Tropsch reactor and cobalt based catalysts. These
improvements are included in the designs for new facilities as they are released for commercial application.

Growing our chemicals portfolioThe chemical cluster represents the second leg in Sasol's portfolio, in addition to energy and fuels, and is divided
into six business units: Sasol Polymers, Sasol Solvents, Sasol Olefins & Surfactants (Sasol O&S), Sasol Nitro, Merisol and Sasol Wax. In South Africa, the chemical businesses are closely
integrated in, and add substantial value to the Fischer-Tropsch value chain. We operate related chemical businesses in Europe, Asia and North America in geographies and industries in which we enjoy
either a feedstock, market or technology advantage.

Table of Contents

We
are pursuing substantial growth opportunities in our chemicals portfolio through the development of a world-scale ethane cracker facility at Lake Charles in the US. We also plan to
extract high value chemical feedstock from our existing and future GTL projects. With the exception of Sasol Nitro and Merisol, all of our chemical business units stand to benefit from these
developments, allowing Sasol Polymers, Sasol O&S and Sasol Wax, in particular, to enhance their existing positions in selected products through higher value feedstock.

Outside
of these opportunities, our chemical businesses continue to pursue a strategy to improve the operating performance of our existing assets and grow in selected areas of
competitive advantage. In this regard, we are progressing with the construction of the world's first commercial ethylene tetramerisation unit at the Lake Charles production site in the US. The planned
capacity for this facility is 100 000 tons per annum of combined 1-octene and 1-hexene which are co-monomers used in the plastics industry. Sasol O&S and Sasol Wax continue to add value
through a focus on improved operational and product margin improvements. These efforts are focused on creating value from the unique properties of many of the products that arise from Sasol's
proprietary chemicals technologies. In addition, in June 2013, we signed a memorandum of understanding with Ineos Olefins & Polymers USA (Ineos) to form a joint venture to manufacture
high density polyethylene (HDPE). The proposed plant will produce 470 kilotons per annum of bimodal HDPE using an Innovene S process technology licensed from Ineos, and will utilise
ethylene from the LakeCharles cracker project to provide Sasol with integrated manufacturing economics. The final investment decision for this plant is expected to be taken in the first half of the
2014 calendar year with start-up expected at the end of the 2015 calendar year.

Maturing and developing upstream hydrocarbon opportunitiesWe manage global upstream oil and gas interests and activities including exploration,
appraisal, development and production. Our
current areas of interests and activities are shown on the maps on pages M-6 to M-9. We produce natural gas and condensate from the onshore Temane and Pande gas fields in Mozambique, oil in
Gabon from the offshore Etame, Avouma and Ebouri oil field cluster and natural gas and petroleum liquids from the unconventional (shale/tight gas) Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset in Canada. We
continue our efforts to expand the upstream asset base in order to supply feedstock gas for existing and new downstream businesses. For that purpose, we continue to pursue a growth plan to: maximise
production from existing assets; expand our exploration portfolio; consider acquisition opportunities; and investigate unconventional gas opportunities. The acquisition, in 2011, of the Farrell Creek
and Cypress A asset and, in 2012, of the coal bed methane licences in Botswana, have been part of the growth strategy to acquire upstream gas positions.

Sasol
Gas continues to focus on growing the South African gas market following the successful introduction of natural gas from Mozambique in 2004.

Develop and grow low carbon power generationWe are developing gas-to-power opportunities which includes the successful start-up of the Sasolburg 140
megawatt gas engine power plant in December 2012. We also advanced the development of our 49% share of the US$246 million, 140 megawatt gas-fired power generation plant in Ressano Garcia,
Mozambique, in partnership with the country's state-owned power utility Electricidade de Moçambique. Civil work and construction have commenced on site and beneficial operation is
expected during the first half of the 2014 calendar year.

In
2013, Sasol New Energy invested GBP15 million in the UK-based OXIS Energy as a strategic investment. OXIS Energy has developed next-generation battery technology that offers
superior energy density to current lithium-ion batteries, as well as being inherently safer.

Sasol Mining

Nature of the operations and principal activities

In South Africa, we have three coal mining operations:



During
2013, total production was 40,1 Mt of coal, compared to 40,0 Mt in the previous year. Our production showed a steady increase during the latter part of the year, supported by the
implementation of a new production bonus scheme and flexibility in operations. As a result of the significantly higher year-on-year off-take by Sasol Synfuels, we decreased our export sales by
diverting coal from the export market, to supply Sasol Synfuels.

We
have also created additional capacity by adding three production sections. Production in the export plant was affected by adverse geological conditions at the Thubelisha shaft,
impacting negatively on the productivity and costs of certain sections of the Twistdraai colliery.

Principal markets

We extract and supply coal mainly to our synfuels and chemical plants under terms and conditions which are determined on an arm's
length basis. We export approximately 6% of our production. In 2013, external sales, primarily exports, decreased to 2,6 Mt from 2,9 Mt in 2012. In a volatile currency market, average US dollar export
prices decreased by 22%, while the rand weakened by 14% compared with the prior year.

Marketing
opportunities for coal in both the international and domestic utility market continue to be explored. Our exports are currently constrained by our throughput entitlement at the
Richards Bay Coal Terminal.

External market opportunities

International CTL projects.In support of SSI, we are involved in CTL project studies in India. At this stage, our role is to evaluate
the coal
feedstock supply in terms of the reserve base, the ability to mine the feedstock, pricing of feedstock, quality requirements of the coal for gasification and safety standards.

Limpopo West Mining project.We were awarded a prospecting right in respect of the Limpopo West reserves in August 2007. The
prospecting right was
extended for the maximum period permitted by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (Act 28 of 2002) (MPRDA) after its initial term and expired on 2 September 2012. The prospecting
right is committed to the Eyesizwe Sasol Waterberg Joint Venture. Exxaro Coal Mpumalanga (previously known as Eyesizwe Coal) and Sasol Mining respectively hold a 51% and 49% participation right in
terms of the prospecting joint venture
agreement. It was the intent of the joint venture to exploit this coal resource mainly for a CTL market, i.e. Project Mafutha. During late 2010, work on Project Mafutha was suspended. In view
of the government's National Development Plan relating to the Waterberg coal resource area, which was communicated in December 2011, Sasol Mining investigated options to exploit possible future
business opportunities relating to the Limpopo West reserves independent of the CTL market. Based on the outcome of study results completed in May 2012, Sasol Mining submitted a mining right
application on behalf of the Eyesizwe Sasol Waterberg Joint Venture in August 2012. A feasibility study was completed in December 2012 and subsequent project studies are planned to commence in October
2013.

Seasonality

The demand for coal by our synfuels and chemical plants is consistent throughout the year. The export coal demand is consistent, mainly
in India and Asia. Even though the demand for coal is seasonal in certain regions, our sales are planned to ensure even shipment of coal throughout the year.

Marketing channels

We make use of both a direct and an agency sales model as the chosen channels to market our products to third parties. There are a
limited number of agents representing Sasol Mining in their specific geographic markets. These agents operate on a commission basis and are authorised to act as intermediaries only with the aim of
promoting our product and providing after-sales service. All sales require approval by Sasol Mining before they may be concluded with the customer.

Factors on which the business is dependent

Being part of the Sasol value chain, we continually engage with Sasol Synfuels to ensure optimal delivery and utilisation of our coal
resources. We also have dedicated strategic and long-term planning departments to ensure that mining and other related activities are performed in accordance with our strategic plans for the future.

secondary product from the export beneficiation plant is supplied to Sasol Synfuels.


Some of our collieries are approaching the end of their useful lives and we are developing new collieries and shafts to sustain consistent supply.
During April 2010, we started with shaft sinking
operations of Twistdraai colliery's new Thubelisha shaft. Unforeseen dolerite intrusions and a substantial "devolotised coal area" have resulted in delays of the underground development. This delay
will, however, not impact on delivery to the market as the main surface facilities and overland conveyer system was completed and is in operation from 2012. Approval for the construction of the
Impumelelo colliery, which will replace the ageing Brandspruit colliery, was obtained in November 2010. Shaft sinking at the new Impumelelo colliery started in August 2011 and is progressing as
planned. Shaft sinking activities are in progress on three shafts (man/material, ventilation and incline shafts). The ventilation shaft is planned to reach the coal seam in the second half of the 2013
calendar year. Construction activities are scheduled to be completed to access the first production section from Brandspruit by the second half of the 2014 calendar year.

Construction
work at the Shondoni colliery, which will replace the current Middelbult colliery production, started during February 2012. This colliery is planned to come into operation
in the second half of the 2015 calendar year.

Coal handling facilitySasol Coal Supply (SCS)

SCS at Secunda is responsible for the conveyance of coal from the mine mouth to a stock holding facility. Coal from the different
collieries is blended in order to homogenise the product that is then conveyed to Sasol Synfuels as required.

Beneficiation plant

A coal beneficiation plant is operated at Secunda to enable us to supply export quality coal for the international market. The design
throughput of the plant is 10,5 Mt per annum. The plant feedstock is supplied by Twistdraai mine via overland conveyor belts of approximately 20 km in length. The new Twistdraai Thubelisha shaft
conveyor, which is approximately 17 km in length, will replace the current conveyor system over the next few years.

Sasol Gas

Nature of the operations and its principal activities

Established in 1964, originally as the South African Gas Distribution Corporation Limited (Gascor), Sasol Gas operates and maintains an
approximately 2 500 km pipeline network in South Africa and Mozambique.

As
part of the Natural Gas Project for the development, production and transportation of natural gas from Mozambique, Rompco was established as the owner of the Mozambique to Secunda gas
transmission pipeline (MSP). Sasol Gas has a 50% interest in Rompco.

As
part of Sasol Gas's commitment to broad-based BEE, Sasol Gas formed a joint venture company, Spring Lights Gas, with Coal Energy and Power Resources Limited (CEPR), in 2002 to which
it sold a portion of its marketing business in KwaZulu-Natal, a province in South Africa. In 2012, CEPR sold its 51% share in Spring Lights Gas to another broad-based BEE consortium, Kwande Ziko. On
2 July 2013, Sasol Gas sold its 49% share in Spring Lights Gas to Kwande Capital for a purchase consideration of R474 million.

In
2011, Sasol Gas commenced with the construction of the R1,6 billion Gauteng Network Pipeline (GNP). The GNP is a 156 km, 26 inch gas transmission pipeline between Secunda and
Sasolburg, South Africa. The pipeline was completed on 28 March 2013 and beneficial operation was achieved on 23 May 2013. The pipeline added an additional capacity of 61 MGJ/a to the
Gauteng network and has stabilised the pressure on the Gauteng network.

Principal markets

Sasol Gas markets methane-rich gas, produced by Sasol Synfuels, and natural gas produced from gas fields in Mozambique. In the energy
market, pipeline gas competes with crude oil-derived products, electricity and coal in various industries, such as ceramics, glass, metal, manufacturing, chemical, food, pulp and paper.

The
pipeline gas segment makes up a small part of the overall energy industry in South Africa. The market has grown since 2004 as a result of the introduction of natural gas from
Mozambique. The current supply of 161,4 million gigajoules per annum (MGJ/a) of pipeline gas increased from 152,7 MGJ/a in 2012. Compared to developed countries, South Africa is a small
consumer of natural gas as a percentage of its total energy requirements. Although the opportunity to increase sales of environmentally preferred natural gas exists, there is a limitation on the
amount of gas available. During 2013, natural gas volumes sold were 138,3 MGJ compared to 129,8 MGJ in 2012. Methane rich gas volumes sold were 21,8 MGJ in 2013 compared to 22,6 MGJ in 2012.

Sasol
Gas supplies gas to industrial and commercial customers in the South African provinces of Mpumalanga, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, North-West and the Free State. Besides marketing
pipeline gas to these customers, nataural gas is also supplied as feedstock to Sasol's facilities in Sasolburg and Secunda.

Seasonality

The total South African demand for gas is consistent throughout the year and is generally not subject to seasonal fluctuations due to
moderate temperature variances between seasons and the absence of a significant domestic market.

Raw materials

The natural gas purchased in Mozambique, from an unincorporated joint venture (UJV), consisting of Sasol Petroleum Temane Limitada
(SPT), a subsidiary of Sasol Petroleum International,

40

---



Table of Contents

International
Finance Corporation (IFC) and Companhia Moçambicana de Hidrocarbonetos, S.A.R.L (CMH), is transported by Rompco to Secunda in South Africa. Methane-rich gas is
purchased from the Sasol Synfuels facility in Secunda. The UJV has been supplying Sasol Gas with natural gas since 2004 and Sasol Synfuels has been supplying methane-rich gas to Sasol Gas since 1994.

Marketing channels

Sasol Gas sells approximately 94% of gas to end-use industrial customers through our own sales and marketing personnel. We also supply
a small number of traders and reticulators who sell the gas to their own customers.

Factors on which the business is dependent

Licences and regulations

We have obtained, from the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA), the necessary licences required in terms of the Gas Act
to operate our gas transmission and distribution facilities and to engage in our trading activities. As and when expansion of our distribution and transmission facilities is required we apply for the
required construction licences from NERSA. Sasol Gas prices its gas in terms of the Market Value Pricing methodology, as set out in the Regulatory Agreement with the South African government. This
pricing dispensation expires in March 2014.

In
compliance with the regulatory framework, Sasol Gas submitted two applications to NERSA in December 2012, namely a maximum price application and a transmission tariff application.
NERSA approved both applications in March 2013. The standardised prices and tariffs will be applicable from 26 March 2014. Sasol Gas has commenced the process to conclude new agreements with
all its customers.

Refer
to Item 4B "Business overviewRegulation of pipeline gas activities in South Africa" for additional information.

Property, plants and equipment

The Mozambique to Secunda natural gas transmission pipeline owned by Rompco is a 26 inch carbon steel underground pipeline of 865 km.
The pipeline starts from the natural gas central processing facility (CPF) at Temane in Mozambique and ends at the pressure protection station (PPS) in Secunda. The instantaneous capacity of the
pipeline is 136 MGJ/a, with an annual average of 120 MGJ/a without any additional compression along the pipeline. In 2013, Rompco embarked on a R1,98 billion project to construct a loop line to
expand capacity in Mozambique, and allow for additional monetisation of gas in that country. In 2010, Rompco commissioned its first compressor station near Komatipoort in South Africa. This facility
supplies midpoint compression and enables the pipeline to increase gas transportation up to a nominal annual average of 166 MGJ/a, with an instantaneous pipeline capacity in excess of 170 MGJ/a.

The
inland transmission network of Gauteng is fed from the PPS at Nigel. The network is operated at a maximum pressure of 3 550 kPa and the capacity of the transmission
network is approximately 89 MGJ/a. The newly commissioned GNP also serves the inland network and has a capacity of 61 MGJ/a. These pipelines supply various low pressure distribution areas as well as
some customers directly. Where these lines enter into various distribution areas, a pressure reduction station reduces the pressure to 625 kPa. The southern part of the inland network ends in
Sasolburg.

The
Secunda, Witbank and Middelburg distribution network receives methane-rich gas from Sasol Synfuels. The maximum operating pressure for this pipeline is 3 000 kPa and the
capacity of the network is approximately 10 MGJ/a. Methane-rich gas, similar to that which is supplied to Witbank and Middelburg, is compressed and fed into the Transnet Pipelines transmission
pipeline to supply our

customers
in the KwaZulu-Natal province. The maximum operating pressure for this transmission pipeline is 5 300 kPa and the capacity of the network is approximately 21 MGJ/a.

Sasol Synfuels

Nature of the operations and principal activities

Sasol Synfuels, based in Secunda, operates a coal and gas based synthetic fuels manufacturing facility. We produce syngas primarily
from low-grade coal with a smaller portion of feedstock being natural gas. The process uses advanced high temperature Fischer-Tropsch technology to convert syngas into a range of synthetic fuel
components, heating fuels (including industrial pipeline gas), ammonia, sulphur and chemical feedstock. Fuel components are used mainly for blending into automotive fuels as well as liquefied
petroleum gas. Chemical feedstreams that are produced are used for the production of chemical and polymer building blocks, including ethylene, propylene, detergent alcohols, phenols, alcohols and
ketones. Apart from the production of saleable products, we are self-sufficient in the production of utilities such as oxygen and steam required in the production process as well as generating between
40% to 45% of our own electricity demand. We operate the world's largest oxygen production facilities (according to Air Liquide, the French industrial gas company), currently consisting of 16 units.

The
Sasol Natural Gas Growth Project (SNGGP) phase 1(a) was approved by the Sasol Limited board during March 2010. The total approved amount of R14 billion, consists of
capital and feasibility funds. This investment will result in an increase in production of approximately 3,2% on a sustainable basis as well as additional electricity generation from gas turbines.
Sasol Synfuels has incurred total costs of R12 billion to 30 June 2013. This was in respect of the SNGGP phase 1(a), including R641 million for pre-feasibility and
feasibility studies. The first set of gas heated heat exchange reformers (GHHER) reached beneficial operation on 13 June 2013. The second set of GHHER's is expected to reach beneficial
operation in the 2014 calendar year. On the clean fuel specification programme phase 1(b), an amount of R647 million has been approved for feasibility studies and basic development, with
a total expected capital investment of R5,2 billion (Sasol Synfuels' share). The core scope of phase 1(b) is to address expected future fuel specification changes. Future related
projects and growth opportunities will be considered.

Principal markets

Sasol Synfuels sells fuel components and heavy fuel oils to Sasol Oil, and methane-rich gas is sold to Sasol Gas. Chemical feedstocks
are sold to the chemical divisions of Sasol. Such feedstocks are processed and marketed for a wide range of applications locally and abroad. Ammonia is sold to the fertiliser and explosives
industries.

Raw materials

The main feedstock components used by Sasol Synfuels in the production process are low grade coal obtained from Sasol Mining and
natural gas obtained from Sasol Gas. Prices of low grade coal are determined using an arms length pricing mechanism for Sasol Mining, while the price of natural gas is determined by the international
price of Brent crude oil, the rand /US dollar exchange rate as well as the South African Producer Price Index.

Marketing channels

The bulk of our products are sold to other Sasol business units. A very small volume of carbon products are directly marketed to
clients locally and abroad, via commercial distribution channels. Sasol Infrachem acts as a marketing agent for the selling of ammonia mainly to the South African fertiliser industry.

In 2012, Sasol Synfuels embarked on a plant restoration drive in order to ensure sustainable plant operations. As such, Sasol Synfuels managed to
maintain stable plant operations for 2013 resulting in an increase in production volumes by 4% from 7,2 Mt in 2012 to 7,4 Mt in 2013.

Sasol
Synfuels continues to advance a series of major environmental projects as part of a wider group initiative in South Africa to reduce our environmental footprint and enhance
operational efficiency.

Sasol
Synfuels are also focusing on opportunities to reduce volumes of low-level volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) and oxides of nitrogen
(NOx). These projects are in various development phases. The volatile organic compounds abatement project was approved in stages, with final approval given during November 2009. The total amount
approved for the project is R1,9 billion. At 30 June 2013, the total expenditure on this project amounted to R953 million with beneficial operation expected in May 2016.

Sasol
Synfuels has approved an amount of R5,5 billion for environmental projects to date including the volatile organic compounds abatement project. At 30 June 2013, the
total expenditure to date on these projects amounted to R2,9 billion.

In
March 2010, the Sasol Limited board approved a total amount of R1,9 billion for the Sasol Fixed Bed Dry Bottom Gasifiers project. In 2012, two of the four new gasifiers were
commissioned. The remaining gasifiers reached beneficial operation in September 2012.

The
Sasol Limited board also approved a total amount of R2,0 billion for the replacement of tar tanks and separators. This will ensure that the production capacity of the Secunda
complex is maintained. The project is expected to reach beneficial operation in May 2015.

Sasol Oil

Nature of the operations and principal activities

Sasol Oil encompasses the established liquid fuels, bitumen, heating fuels and lubricants marketing activities of Sasol through
wholesale, commercial and retailing interests, featuring both the Sasol and the Exel brands. Operations include fuel blending and storage facilities in Secunda where fuel components, procured from
Sasol Synfuels, are blended to be marketable. Sasol Oil is also responsible for crude oil procurement, shipping and the subsequent refining of crude oil through our majority shareholder interest in
the Natref refinery in Sasolburg. Products include petrol, diesel, jet fuel, illuminating paraffin, LPG, fuel oils, bitumen, motor and industrial lubricants and sulphur.

Principal markets

Sasol Oil's fuel production is primarily located in South Africa's industrial heartland, where an estimated 58% of the country's petrol
and diesel is consumed. Production of approximately 8,13 million m3 of white products per year is insufficient to supply this market. The balance of the requirement is supplied
from coastal refineries and imports, transported via road, rail and pipelines. Limited volumes of white products are exported overland to neighbouring countries.

Seasonality

The total South African demand for road transportation fuels is fairly consistent throughout the year. Slightly higher demand for
petrol is evident during the December summer holiday period. Diesel demand tends to peak during October due to the summer grain planting season and weakens during the December holiday period in line
with reduced economic activity. The demand for fuel oil and gas tends to be stronger in winter as a result of heating demand.

South
African fuel prices are derived from international reference prices as a result of a regulatory dispensation based on import alternatives. Local prices reflect northern hemisphere
seasonality for petrol and diesel.

During
2013, international petrol and diesel crack-spreads increased on the back of slow economic recovery and refinery disruptions. Petrol crack-spreads improved much more than diesel
due to refinery closures in Europe and hurricane Sandy shutting-in US East coast production facilities, which led to tighter supply conditions. Petrol margins are, however, expected to remain under
some pressure due to improved vehicle fuel efficiency and an increase in ethanol blending in the US.

Raw materials

Sasol Oil's main raw material inputs are blending components from Sasol Synfuels, crude oil and base oils for lubricant manufacturing.

Marketing channels

Sasol Oil's marketing effort can be divided into four main areas namely sales to licenced wholesalers, direct marketing (retail and
commercial markets) in South Africa, direct marketing in other African countries and overland exports into Africa.

Factors on which the business is dependent

Activities across the value chain, including manufacturing, storing, wholesaling and retailing, are regulated through a licensing
regime. Retail pump prices of petrol, the maximum refining gate price of LPG, the maximum cylinder retail price for LPG, and a maximum single national retail price of unpacked
illuminating kerosene are regulated by the Petroleum Controller under the Petroleum Products Act, 1977.

Manufacturing,
storing, wholesaling and retailing of petroleum products may only be conducted once a licence has been issued by the Petroleum Controller under the Petroleum Products Act,
1977. Onerous application requirements and a lengthy licensing process may hamper the development of retail convenience centres in future.

NERSA,
under the Petroleum Pipelines Act, sets tariffs for petroleum pipelines and approves tariffs for third party access to storage and marine loading facilities. See
"Item 4.BBusiness overviewRegulation of petroleum-related activities in South Africa" for additional information.

based on our 63,64% share in Natref.


Natref is an inland refinery, focused on producing refined petrol and distillate fuels. It is designed to upgrade relatively heavy crude oil with
high sulphur content (sour) and yield about 90% white petroleum products. Refinery production includes petrol, diesel, propane, jet fuel, and multiple grades of bitumen, fuel oils, sulphur and various
gasses.

Natref
is managed by the Natref board and is governed by the Natref shareholders agreement. While Sasol Oil operates the refinery, Total participates in its management with veto rights
over a number of corporate actions, including, increasing or reducing Natref's share capital, amending Natref's Memorandum of Incorporation and the rights attaching to its shares, appointing directors
to serve as executive officers and determining directors' remuneration. Sasol Oil and Total are responsible for procuring their own crude and marketing their own products.

Under
the terms of an agreement concluded between Total and Sasol, Total has the option to purchase up to 13,64% of the ordinary shares in Natref from Sasol at fair market value upon the
occurrence of certain events. Since December 2003, Total has had two opportunities to increase its

Table of Contents

shareholding
in Natref to 50%, the first being the termination of the Main Supply Agreements and the second the proposed transaction between Sasol and PETRONAS, which was subsequently prohibited by
the South African Competition Tribunal. On both occasions Total decided not to exercise its option to increase its shareholding in Natref.

During
the 2005 upgrade to meet new fuel specifications, Natref's throughput was reduced by 11%. A decision has been made that capacity will not be increased in the foreseeable future.
South African fuel specifications continue to evolve with international trends and it is expected that a substantial additional investment of approximately R11 billion (total cost) will be
required between 2014 and 2019 to meet these more stringent specifications. The construction of a pipeline to integrate Sasol Synfuels and Natref was completed in May 2013. This pipeline will
facilitate and optimise the production of new specification fuels by both plants.

During
2013, the overall refinery unplanned unavailability was 4,2%, mainly due to the extended planned maintenance shutdown in December 2012.

International Energy Cluster

Sasol Synfuels International

Nature of operations and principal activities

Sasol Synfuels International (Pty) Ltd (SSI), is responsible for developing, implementing and managing international GTL
business ventures based on our proprietary technology.

The
catalyst business which forms a part of SSI, is an integral component of the Sasol Fischer-Tropsch (FT) value chain and aims to provide security of supply of quality
competitive FT catalyst to the current and future GTL ventures. To support our current GTL projects, we use three 680 tons per annum cobalt catalyst manufacturing units, with two units situated in De
Meern, in The Netherlands, operated and owned by BASF, and a third at our Sasolburg site, operated and owned by Sasol Cobalt Catalyst Manufacturing (Pty) Ltd (SCCM), a wholly owned subsidiary
of SSI.

The Sasol SPD process

Based on our long and extensive experience in the commercial application of the FT technology, we have successfully developed the
FT-based Sasol SPD process for converting natural gas into high-quality, environment-friendly GTL diesel, GTL kerosene and other
liquid hydrocarbons. The SPD process consists of three main steps, each of which is commercially proven. These include:



Currently
we believe, based on our knowledge of the industry and publicly available information, that on a worldwide basis we have the most extensive experience in the application of FT
technology on a commercial scale. Given the increasing discovery of extensive natural gas reserves, our Sasol SPD process can be applied with significant commercial advantages in various
parts of the world. As a consequence, our technology has evoked interest from countries and companies with extensive natural gas reserves as an appealing alternative for commercialising these
reserves. The Sasol SPD process converts natural gas into diesel and other liquid hydrocarbons, which are generally more environmentally friendly and of higher quality and performance
compared to the equivalent crude oil-derived products. In view of product specifications gradually becoming more stringent, especially with respect to emissions, we believe that the option of
environmentally friendly GTL fuels will become

47

Table of Contents

increasingly
appealing. GTL diesel can be used with optimised engines for best performance, although it can also be utilised with current compression ignition engines. GTL diesel is currently used as
a cost-competitive blend stock for conventional diesels, thereby enabling conventional diesel producers to improve the quality and capacity of their product without investing substantially in
sophisticated new plants and infrastructure. We anticipate that the combined factors of GTL diesel's superior characteristics and the prevailing market conditions in developed economies will enable
GTL diesel to command premium prices for either niche applications or as a blend stock for upgrading lower-specification products. The construction of GTL facilities and the production of GTL fuels
require significant capital investment.

GTL and CTL developments utilising the Sasol SPD process

SSI is progressing with GTL projects in the US (FEED), Uzbekistan (FEED) and Nigeria (execution) and has achieved stable operations at
ORYX GTL, in Qatar. SSI is also involved in the pre-feasibility study for a CTL project in India.

As
a result of the magnitude of Sasol's growth portfolio, as well as significant sustenance capital required for our South African operations, Sasol regularly reviews projects in its
project pipeline. As a result of these reviews, the Sasol Limited board, approved a decrease in our shareholding in the Uzbekistan GTL project from 44,5% to 25,5% at the end of the front end
engineering and design phase which is expected to be completed during the second half of the 2013 calendar year. The final investment decision remains subject to key conditions, including successful
project financing and non-state ownership of at least 50,1%.

To
support the Uzbekistan GTL project we are progressing, together with BASF, an FT catalyst expansion project (FEED) at the facility situated in De Meern which will be operated and
owned by BASF.

Principal markets

The bulk of the ultra-low sulphur GTL diesel produced at ORYX GTL is sold as a blend stock with middle distillate product streams
derived from conventional oil refining to produce on-specification automotive diesel. The GTL naphtha produced at ORYX GTL is sold to naphtha crackers that produce olefins such as ethylene.

The
FT catalyst is currently principally sold to Sasol's GTL operations, in particular ORYX GTL in Qatar and Escravos GTL in Nigeria.

Seasonality

GTL product prices are impacted by the seasonal behaviour of global petroleum product markets.

Catalyst
demand is fairly stable but is driven by higher oil prices if the GTL plant owner decides to increase diesel output to maximise profits.

Raw materials

ORYX GTL purchases natural gas feedstock from Al Khaleej Gas, a joint venture between ExxonMobil Middle East Gas Marketing Limited and
Qatar Petroleum, under a gas purchase agreement with a contractual minimum off-take volume. The agreement commenced in January 2006 and is valid for a term of 25 years with an option to extend
for a further 7 years.

Ethanol,
wax, ammonia, as well as precious and transition metals, are key input materials required to produce FT catalyst, although customers provide the precious metals. These inputs
are commodities and prices will therefore be market dependent.

Marketing channels

The diesel produced by ORYX GTL was until 1 August 2013, marketed by Sasol Synfuels International Marketing Limited (SSIM),
under a marketing agency agreement. From this date, ORYX GTL has taken over responsibility for the marketing of the diesel. The GTL naphtha and LPG are sold by Qatar International Petroleum
Marketing Company Limited (Tasweeq).

For
the catalyst business, SCCM is a customer facing business and sells its product directly to its customers.

Factors on which the business is dependent

Technology

SSI is dependent on the successful integration of various technologies also referred to in the description of the Sasol
SPD process. The continuous improvement of our cobalt catalyst performance is also key. SCCM licences the catalyst manufacturing technology from Sasol Technology and BASF, and is
dependent on catalyst technology development to improve its product offering.

Feedstock

The growth of the SSI business depends on the availability of competitively priced natural gas or coal reserves.

Remaining cost competitive

Working closely with Sasol Technology's Fischer-Tropsch process innovation teams at Sasolburg and Johannesburg, we are involved in an
on-going programme aimed at further improving competitiveness by lowering the capital and operating costs of future GTL and CTL plants. There is also a continued focus to reduce the total cost and
increase the efficiency of the cobalt catalyst used in the process through improvement of the performance and total value chain of the catalyst supplied.

GTL and CTL ventures

SCCM follows a demand-supply approach, where new customer demand drives catalyst production and plant capacity. Therefore, the presence
of GTL and CTL demand is key to the catalyst business sustainability.

Sasol Petroleum International

Nature of the operations and its principal activities

Sasol Petroleum International (Pty) Ltd (SPI) was founded to undertake oil and gas exploration and production in selected high
potential areas in West and Southern Africa. Since then, we have expanded our portfolio and currently hold equity in producing assets with proved natural oil and gas reserves in Mozambique, Gabon and
Canada and exploration interests in West and Southern Africa and Australia. Our current areas of interests and activities are shown on the maps on pages M-6 to M-9.

In
Mozambique, we produce natural gas and condensate from the onshore Temane and Pande gas fields. Gas production from the Temane field commenced in 2004 and from the Pande field in
2009. In Gabon, oil production from the VAALCO Gabon (Etame) Inc. operated offshore Etame field commenced in 2002, followed by production in 2007 and 2009 from the associated Avouma and Ebouri
fields. In 2011, we acquired equity in the Talisman Energy Inc. operated unconventional (shale/tight gas) Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset in Canada which produces gas and small volumes of
petroleum liquids.

Principal markets and marketing channels

Mozambican production

Gas produced under the Pande-Temane Petroleum Production Agreement (PPA), other than royalty gas that is provided to the Mozambican
government, is sold to Sasol Gas and to Aggreko Mocambique Limitada. The gas sold to Sasol Gas under long-term sales agreements, is exported for marketing in South Africa and for use as part of the
feedstock for our chemical and
synthetic fuel operations in Secunda and Sasolburg. The gas sold to Aggreko Mocambique Limitada under a two-year sales agreement, executed in 2012, is for power generation in Mozambique. With effect
from June 2013, gas sales agreements have also been concluded with Matola Gas Company S.A., Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) and Central Térmica de Ressano
Garcia S.A. (CTRG), the joint venture between Sasol New Energy (SNE) and Electricidade de Moçambique at Ressano Garcia (EDM). The gas sold to these companies will be utilised in
Mozambique.

The
natural gas condensate produced is currently sold at the gas processing plant to Temane Trading, a joint venture between Petromoc and Trafigura. The condensate is trucked to Beira,
Mozambique, by the buyer for export through the port of Beira to offshore markets.

Gabon production

Oil production from the Etame Marin Permit operations is sold internationally on the open market. An annual sales contract is typically
entered into for the sale of the Etame Marin Permit oil based on a competitive bidding process and sales prices are linked to international oil prices. In 2013, oil was sold to Mercuria
Trading NV under two separate annual contracts effective from 1 January 2012 and 1 January 2013.

Canada production

Gas production from the unconventional (shale/tight gas) Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset is sold by the Talisman Sasol Montney
Partnership, under a long-term marketing agreement with Talisman Energy Canada, into the Western Canada gas market. Pricing is based on the daily realised spot market prices less transportation and
marketing fees, in accordance with the terms of the marketing agreement with Talisman. The petroleum liquids are sold under the same marketing agreement.

Chemical Cluster

Sasol Polymers

Nature of the operations and its principal activities

In Sasol Polymers, we produce ethylene by separating and purifying an ethylene-rich mixture and by cracking of ethane and propane
supplied by Sasol Synfuels. Propylene is separated and purified from a Fischer-Tropsch stream produced in the Sasol process. The ethylene is polymerised into low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear
low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and the propylene into polypropylene (PP). We operate a fully integrated chlor-alkali/polyvinylchloride chain. Ethylene and chlorine, from on-site chlor-alkali plants,
are reacted to produce vinyl chloride monomer and then polymerised to polyvinylchloride (PVC). Caustic soda, hydrochloric acid and calcium chloride are other chlor-alkali products which are produced.
Liquid sodium cyanide is produced from methane, ammonia and caustic soda.

We
are a major South African plastics and chemicals operation and our vision is to be an exceptional producer of polymers and preferred supplier in our market. We supply quality
monomers, polymers, chlor-alkali chemicals and mining reagents.

We
manage the following international investments:



Principal markets

Over the past three years between 64% and 67% of our revenue has been earned from sales into the South African market.

We
are the sole polymer producer of PVC, LDPE and LLDPE in South Africa and have the leading share of sales of these products in South Africa, where the competition is in the form of
polymer imports primarily from Asian and Middle Eastern producers. We supply 160 ktpa ethylene and 110 ktpa propylene under contract to Safripol (Pty) Ltd (Safripol) in Sasolburg by pipeline
for the production of HDPE and polypropylene, respectively. We compete directly with Safripol in the polypropylene market, where we have a large share of the South African market. Caustic soda is sold
primarily in South Africa into the pulp and paper, minerals beneficiation and soap and detergent industries. We are the sole local producer of sodium cyanide solution which is sold to local gold
mining industry. Sales are expected to be in line with investment in dump retreatment in association with gold and uranium prices.

Table of Contents

Currently,
we export polymers from our South African operations to the African continent, South East Asia, Europe and South America. Product from the Petronas Chemicals LDPE plant in
Malaysia is sold into Malaysia, India, China, Australia and New Zealand.

Seasonality

Global polymer demand does not show any marked annual seasonality although higher demand tends to arise in the third quarter of each
calendar year as converters stock up for increased sales over the South African festive season.

The
global polymer industry is, however, cyclical in terms of margins earned, given irregular investment patterns caused by large capital requirements and size of plants. The duration of
a typical cycle has been seven years and margins can vary from low trough conditions to extreme peak conditions. During tight supply/demand periods, which usually coincide with increases in economic
activity as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), margins may increase disproportionately with high peaks. Over time margins reduce as investment is stimulated or as demand slows down in line with
GDP. It may happen that excess capacity is installed, which results in collapsed margins.

Raw materials

Feedstock for ethylene and propylene in South Africa is purchased from Sasol Synfuels at market-priced fuel-alternative values. The
mechanism for determining the fuel-alternative value is based on the South African Basic Fuel Price (BFP) mechanism administered by the Department of Energy. Feedstock prices have increased in line
with the oil price. Salt used in our chlor-alkali production process is imported from Namibia and Botswana at US dollar denominated prices. Electricity is purchased from Eskom, South Africa's
state-owned electricity provider.

Feedstock
namely, ethane and propane, for our joint venture cracker in Malaysia (PETRONAS Chemicals Olefins Sdn Bhd, previously known as Optimal Olefins Sdn Bhd) is purchased from
PETRONAS at set prices, unrelated to oil, that escalates annually in line with US inflation rates.
PETRONAS Chemicals LDPE Sdn Bhd (previously known as Petlin Malaysia Sdn Bhd) buys its ethylene feedstock from PETRONAS Chemicals at prices related to the South East Asian ethylene market.

Marketing channels

Our sales in South Africa are made directly to customers using our own marketing and sales staff. Sales offices are located in
Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, South Africa. Account managers are responsible for management of our relationship with customers.

For
exports from South African operations, we sell directly into Southern Africa and through distributors and agents into East and West Africa, the Far East, Europe and South America.
All sales, administration and logistics are arranged from the Johannesburg office.

Property, plants and equipment

The construction of a 47 000 tpa ethylene purification unit (EPU) in Sasolburg, which will yield additional ethylene to
support our polymer plants to run continuously, is expected to achieve beneficial operation during the second half of the 2013 calendar year.

We
are constructing a 58 000 tpa propylene stability unit in Secunda. This facility will enable full capacity utilisation of the polypropylene plants and is expected to
achieve beneficial operation during the second half of 2014.

Sasol Solvents

Nature of the operations and its principal activities

We are one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of a diverse range of solvents, co-monomers and associated products. Solvent
products are supplied to customers in approximately 90 countries and are used primarily in the coatings, printing, packaging, plastics, pharmaceutical, fragrance, aerosol paint and adhesive
industries, as well as in the polish, cosmetics, agriculture and mining chemicals sectors. Pentene, hexene and octene are used as co-monomers in polyethylene production. We have production facilities
in South Africa at Secunda and Sasolburg and in Germany at Moers and Herne. Our product range includes ketones, glycol ethers, acetates, alcohols, acrylates, pentene, hexene and octene, fine chemicals
and mining chemicals. Our joint venture with Huntsman Corporation (Sasol Huntsman) produces maleic anhydride in Europe. We believe that the breadth of our product portfolio provides a competitive
advantage relative to the more limited portfolios of most of our competitors in the global market.

The
successful start up of Octene train III during 2009 added an additional 100 ktpa of octene to the co-monomers product portfolio. A second 30 ktpa methyl isobutyl ketone (MiBK) in
Sasolburg was commissioned in April 2010 and production has been ramped up according to plan. During 2011, the construction of the second malaeic anhydride train was completed, which resulted in an
increase of 45 ktpa to 105 ktpa.

Table of Contents

Principal markets

In 2013, approximately 1,66 Mt of products were sold worldwide. Our global business is managed from offices in Johannesburg in South
Africa. We have sales offices in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the US.

We
market our products throughout the world, with a large proportion of our alcohols being distributed in Europe. We are a leading producer of solvents in South Africa and we are a
market leader in co-monomers based on production capacity. We expect to strengthen our position in the co-monomer high growth market through the commercialisation of our proprietary tetramerisation
technology which involves the manufacture of octene from ethylene. The basic engineering on a 100 ktpa octene plant has been completed with beneficial operation planned for the fourth quarter of the
2013 calendar year. The location of the unit is at the Sasol cracker complex at Lake Charles in Louisiana, where we will benefit from plant integration economics and close location to our key
customers.

Our
competition varies depending on the products sold and includes a number of major international oil and chemical companies. Our competitors include ExxonMobil, BP Chemicals, Chevron
Phillips, Ineos, the Dow Chemical Company, Celanese and Eastman.

Seasonality

Production and sales volumes are generally not subject to seasonal fluctuations but tend to follow the broader global industry trends.
In terms of the global cyclical nature of our products, periods of high demand and higher prices are followed by an increase in global
production capacity which can depress global margins. The global economic crisis has had a detrimental effect on our sales prices, and market demand has shown signs of contraction as a result of
increased volatility, caused in part by the continuing European debt crisis, as well as declining growth in China. The rising feedstock prices, on the back of increased crude oil prices partially
offset by the rand weakness, have resulted in margins decreasing from the highs experienced during 2011.

Raw materials

Feedstocks for our operations in Secunda are derived mainly from Sasol Synfuels at market-priced fuel-alternative values based on the
Basic Fuel Price (BFP). Fluctuations in the crude oil price and rand/US dollar exchange rate have a direct impact on the cost of our feedstocks and hence on margins. Feedstocks in Sasolburg are
purchased from Sasol Polymers (based on fuel-alternative value) and Sasol Infrachem based on a long-term supply contract price with an annual inflation-linked escalation clause.

Ethylene,
propylene, butylene and butane, used in our production facilities in Germany, are purchased at market prices from third party suppliers under a combination of long-term supply
contracts and open market purchases.

Some
products are produced by converting primary chemical commodities produced in our facilities to higher value-added derivatives. These
include:

Marketing channels

We operate thirteen regional sales offices and nine storage hubs in South Africa, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and
the US. We utilise a number of distributors and agents worldwide as an extension of our sales and marketing force to enable increased market penetration.

A
combination of product and account managers ensures continued, long-term relationships with our customers. Our in-house sales and administrative staff manage order processing,
logistics and collection of payments as well as customer relationships. The use of bulk supply facilities situated in China, Dubai, Rotterdam and Antwerp in Europe, Singapore, South Africa and the US
allows for timely delivery to our customers.

Factors on which the business is dependent

Our plants operate using a combination of proprietary technology developed by Sasol, primarily by Sasol Technology, as well as
technology licenced from various suppliers. Our acrylates and n-butanol technology is licenced from the Mitsubishi Chemical Company. Our maleic anhydride technology (utilised in Sasol Huntsman) is
licenced from Huntsman Corporation. We own the licence to the MiBK technology. The hydroformylation technology for use in our Safol and Octene 3 plants is licenced from Davy Process Technology.

We
licence our technology for alcohol recovery to PetroSA. Being fully integrated into the Sasol operations in South Africa, we are dependent on Sasol Synfuels and Sasol Infrachem for
the supply of both our raw materials and utilities (electricity, water and air).

We
are in the on-going process of obtaining the relevant data required in order to comply with the European Union Regulatory Framework for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation
of Chemicals (REACH), which became effective on 1 June 2007. We have already complied with the first
major deadline and registered our highest volume products at the end of the 2010 calendar year. We have met the May 2013 deadline for registration of the second tier volume of products. We are now
working on the next tier of products (volumes below 100 tons per year) with the deadline of 31 May 2018. At the same time tier 1 and 2 dossiers are being evaluated by the European
Chemical Agency (ECHA) and during the course of evaluation all registrants are asked to complete data for their registration. The estimated total costs of compliance over the next six years amounts to
approximately €8 million.

Sasol Olefins & Surfactants

Nature of the operations and its principal activities

Sasol Olefins & Surfactants (Sasol O&S) comprises nine areas of activity, grouped into two business divisions, namely the
Organics and Inorganics Divisions.

The
Organics Division consists of:



The
Inorganics Division consists of:



Alkylates

The main alkylate products are paraffins, olefins and linear alkyl benzene (LAB). LAB is the feedstock for the manufacture of linear
alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS), an essential surfactant ingredient for the detergents industry. Paraffins (n-paraffins) and n-olefins are produced mainly as feedstock for the production of LAB and
oxo-alcohols. A portion of this business unit's products are used internally for the production of downstream surfactants.

Alcohols

These products cover a diversified portfolio of linear and semi-linear alcohols of carbon range between C6 and
C22+. The diversity of this product portfolio is supported by the wide range of feedstocks (petrochemical, oleochemical and coal-based), technologies and manufacturing facilities used. A
portion of the alcohols production is consumed internally to produce surfactants and specialty plasticisers.

Surfactants

These products include nonionic and anionic surfactants, based on alcohol and LAB and other organic intermediates.

Organic intermediates

Other organic intermediate chemicals include ethylene oxide, alkyl phenols, alkanolamines, etc.

Ethylene

Our ethane-based cracker in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the US, produces ethylene for the US market. A portion of the ethylene production
is consumed internally to manufacture ziegler alcohols and ethylene oxide.

58

---



Table of Contents

In
the 2011 calendar year, Sasol commenced with a pre-feasibility study to assess the technical and commercial viability of a world-scale ethane cracker and associated ethylene
derivatives in Louisiana. This project has subsequently moved into FEED with a final investment decision expected during the 2014 calendar year.

59

---



Table of Contents

Inorganics

These products involve mainly specialty aluminas and related products. The inorganics specialities are further processed by means of a
variety of technical processes to adapt the product characteristics to highly specialised products. The inorganics division also manufactures shaped catalyst carriers from their products. The latest
development is a new process to produce ultra-high purity alumina for sapphire applications as it is required for LED lighting.

Principal markets

The bulk of the production from the alkylates product group ends up as surfactants, either produced internally (our surfactants product
group) or by other parties having acquired the intermediates from us. The bulk of these surfactants result in the making of detergents and industrial or institutional cleaning products. The main
competitors include Shell and Cepsa in n-paraffins; Huntsman Corporation, and Cepsa and ISU in the LAB market.

Although
a substantial portion of the alcohols and resultant surfactants products also end up in detergents and industrial and institutional cleaning products, these products also find
wide application in industries such as metalworking, flavours and fragrances, personal care, cosmetics, plastic additives, textiles and agriculture. The main competitors include Shell and BASF, as
well as a growing number of oleochemical alcohol producers in Southeast Asia.

Specialty
aluminas and related products from the inorganic division are used in a broad range of applications, including catalyst support, raw material for ceramics, coatings, polymer
additives and synthetic sapphires. Competitors in aluminas include UOP and Sumitomo.

Ethylene,
based on ethane as feedstock, is sold to plastic manufacturers in the US Gulf Coast region and is used internally to manufacture alcohols and ethylene oxide.

Seasonality

There is very little seasonality associated with our products or the markets in which they participate. Cyclicality of this business is
more related to the general chemical investment cycle, which impacts the supply side of the market equation. Many of the markets that we serve typically follow global and regional gross domestic
product growth trends and are therefore impacted more by macro-economic factors.

Raw materials

The main feedstocks used in this business are kerosene, benzene, ethane, ethylene, oleochemical and aluminium (all purchased externally
with the exception of some portion of our ethylene which is produced at our Lake Charles facility and the Fischer-Tropsch based feedstock used for our South African alcohol production). The prices of
most of these materials are related to crude oil and energy pricing and the prices follow the movement of crude oil and energy pricing reasonably closely and, to a lesser extent, lauric oils. In view
of the expected increase in oleochemical-based alcohol production, the differential between crude oil and lauric oils is expected to become increasingly important in determining competitiveness. Sasol
O&S, unlike other producers, manufactures products from multiple feedstocks and thus has a built-in natural hedge, which becomes especially important in times of high price volatility.

Marketing channels

Over 90% of the products produced by Sasol O&S are sold directly to end-user customers by our sales and marketing personnel. A limited
number of distributors are used. Approximately 60% of the total sales by Sasol O&S are conducted under annual and, in some cases, multi-year contracts.

Table of Contents

Factors upon which the business is dependent

The business, especially margins, is dependent on the supply and demand of the various products that we make and the feedstock costs.
Demand growth is typically GDP driven with some exceptions of higher growth products and markets. Supply is primarily influenced by the build-up of new capacity in the developing regions, especially
China, India and Southeast Asia. Feedstock costs generally follow the trends of crude oil and vegetable oil.

We
are in the on-going process of obtaining the relevant data required in order to comply with REACH, which became effective on 1 June 2007. We have already complied with the
first major deadline and registered our highest volume products at the end of the 2010 calendar year. We have met the May 2013 deadline for registration of the second tier volume of products. We are
now working on the next tier of products (volumes below 100 tons per year) with the deadline of 31 May 2018. The estimated total costs of compliance over the next 10 years amount to
approximately €22 million. To date, €10 million has been incurred to comply with REACH.

Other chemical businesses

Other chemical businesses include Sasol Wax, Sasol Nitro, Merisol, Sasol Infrachem and various smaller chemical businesses.

Sasol Waxproduces and markets wax and wax-related products to commodity and specialty wax markets globally. The division refines and
blends crude oil-derived paraffin waxes, as well as synthetic waxes produced on the basis of our Fischer-Tropsch technology. The division markets its products globally, but its main markets are in
Europe, the US and Southern Africa. The overall world market for waxes is estimated at about 4 500 ktpa and our main competitors in the commodity market are ExxonMobil, Shell, China Oil
and Sinopec.

Sasol Nitromanufactures and markets fertilisers, commercial explosives and related products. The division also markets sulphur produced
by other Sasol divisions. All production activities are located in Southern Africa. The business's products are mainly sold within Southern Africa with increasing exports into Western Africa.
Fertiliser products produced at the South Africa Secunda manufacturing plant are limited to ex-works sales as per the agreement with the South African Competition Commission.

derivatives.
In December 2012, Sasol acquired the remaining 50% shareholding in Merisol for a purchase consideration of R730 million (US$85 million).

Sasol Infrachemis the supplier of utilities and services to various Sasol business units (Sasol Polymers, Sasol Solvents, Sasol Wax,
Merisol and Sasol Nitro) as well as external businesses in Sasolburg. Sasol
Infrachem operates and maintains the auto thermal reformer (ATR), which reforms natural gas into synthesis gas. Sasol Infrachem is the custodian of the Sasolburg gas loop and the primary
responsibility of this function is to ensure that the reformed gas demand/supply is balanced and that reformed gas is supplied to the users of gas on its site.

About
half of Sasol's total ammonia production is used by Sasol Nitro to produce ammonium nitrate-based fertilisers and explosives. The balance of ammonia is sold mainly to other South
African explosives and fertiliser manufacturers with relatively small quantities sold for use in other industrial applications, which include chemical manufacture and mineral beneficiation. Sasol is
the only ammonia producer in South Africa, with a total nameplate production capacity of 660 ktpa.

Sasol Technology

Nature of the operations and its principal activities

Sasol Technology, as the technology partner in the group, is fully committed to the Sasol group growth objectives by working together
with the business units and taking responsibility for the long-term research and development of technology improvements as well as developing new technologies. Through engineering and project
execution activities Sasol Technology demonstrates its commitment to the delivery of viable solutions to our business partners for their operations.

Acquiring technologyresearch and development

The central research and development division in Sasolburg focuses on process research and competency development, while the
decentralised divisions focus on product applications. The Sasolburg research facility was expanded and modernised with the aim to:



The
enhanced facilities allow the opportunity to commercialise new and improved petrochemical processes more effectively. The central research function has a full suite of
state-of-the-art pilot plants to support the development of both current and future technologies. As new technologies are developed, these facilities are growing, with new pilot plant and laboratory
facilities being added on an on-going basis. A new research and development building was completed during 2012 which allowed for the renovation and upgrading of old laboratory space to better equip it
for new research challenges. As a result of our investment in facility upgrades in recent years, we are now seeing the benefits in the improved quality and efficiency of our research efforts.

The
Sasolburg research activities, supplemented by a presence at the University of St Andrews in Scotland and in Enschede in The Netherlands, are also conducted through external
alliances and research collaborations with over 100 research institutions, consortia and universities worldwide. In addition, strong emphasis is placed on training.

Sasol
Technology research and development projects over the past decade include the development of the slurry phase and advanced synthol reactors, the development of the proprietary
cobalt catalyst, the low temperature Fischer-Tropsch process, ethylene tetramerisation and the 1-heptene to 1-octene conversion process.

A
significant part of the research focuses on supporting the CTL and GTL technologies and associated products. The production of chemicals from the primary Fischer-Tropsch products is of
particular interest.

Research
is also focused on the reduction of the Sasol operations' environmental footprint which includes greenhouse gas reduction, water treatment and purification. In this regard,
special attention is given to water utilisation, given the location of some of the current and future plants in semi-arid

areas.
Reduction in greenhouse gases focuses on improving plant efficiencies, carbon dioxide capturing and understanding potential storage alternatives. Sasol Technology has also increased its focus
on exploring technology options adjacent to, but beyond, our current technology portfolio, with a view to diversifying the options available to Sasol.

Commercialising technologyfront end engineering and technology management

All front end engineering and technology integration and management are performed by specialist Sasol Technology teams, taking the
ideas from our research and development teams and engineering them into a commercial proposition for exploitation by the group. The conceptual studies, basic design and engineering management of
projects are undertaken on an integrated basis with the business unit, leveraging with external technology suppliers and contractors.

Installing technologyproject execution and engineering

Sasol Technology is responsible for the execution of capital projects and project engineering in the group. The involvement is not only
focused in South Africa but also elsewhere in the world where Sasol is undertaking studies and the execution of projects. Delivery of smaller projects and shutdowns are also undertaken. These
initiatives are highly leveraged with external engineering and construction contractors.

Optimising technologyoperations support

Technical support groups work on an integrated basis with the operations personnel of the business units to improve the profitability
and optimise plant performance throughout the group.

Property, plants and equipment

The Sasolburg research facility was expanded affording the opportunity to commercialise new and improved petrochemical processes more
effectively. The central research function has a full suite of state-of-the-art pilot plants to support the development of both current and future technologies. Besides the new laboratories and the
fuels research facilities in Sasolburg, plans have been approved to expand the fuel testing and engine emissions laboratory in Cape Town, South Africa, to more effectively research the application of
our unique GTL and CTL fuels at sea level.

Legal proceedings and other contingencies

Sasol NitroIn 2004, the South African Competition Commission (the Commission)
commenced with investigations against Sasol Nitro, a division of Sasol Chemical Industries Limited (SCI), based on complaints levelled against Sasol Nitro by two of its customers, Nutri-Flo and
Profert. Both complaints were subsequently referred to the Competition Tribunal (the Tribunal) by the Commission. In May 2009, SCI and the Commission concluded a settlement agreement, in which Sasol
Nitro acknowledged that, in the period from 1996 to 2005, it had
contravened the Competition Act by fixing prices of certain fertilisers with its competitors, by agreeing with its competitors on the allocation of customers and suppliers and by collusively tendering
for supply contracts. Sasol Nitro subsequently paid an administrative penalty of R250,7 million.

Civil
claims and law suits totalling approximately R52 million have been instituted against Sasol arising from the admissions made in the settlement agreement. Sasol views the
calculation of alleged damages by the plaintiffs as flawed. Sasol is working with an economist on assessing its position on any potential damages caused. The analysis has not been finalised yet.
Therefore, it is currently not possible to make an estimate of a contingent liability and accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2013. The period for filing civil claims prescribed on
20 May 2012, therefore no additional claims may be made against Sasol arising from the admitted contraventions.

Sasol Nitrocomplaint referral by OmniaOn 31 August 2011, Omnia Group (Pty) Ltd (Omnia) submitted a complaint
against SCI
to the Commission. The complaint alleged, among other things, excessive pricing for ammonia and price discrimination in respect of ammonia.

On
7 March 2012, the Commission issued a notice of non-referral in respect of the complaint on the grounds that the conduct complained of was substantially the same as the conduct
which the Commission had settled on with Sasol in July 2010.

On
5 April 2012, Omnia themselves referred the complaint to the Tribunal. Omnia alleges that SCI charged Omnia an excessive price for ammonia during the period from May 2006 to
December 2008 and that SCI has prevented Omnia from expanding within the markets for the supply of certain fertilisers during the period from May 2006 to December 2008 and that SCI has engaged in
prohibited price discrimination in respect of ammonia.

SCI
does not agree with the allegations made and is defending the matter. The allegations made are substantially similar to allegations in a civil claim for damages made by Omnia in
2009, which SCI is also defending in arbitration proceedings. The competition law complaint, and subsequent referral, have been made by Omnia prior to completing the prosecution of their arbitration
claim to completion.

It
is currently not possible to make an estimate of a contingent liability from the claim and, accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2013.

Sasol WaxOn 1 October 2008, following an investigation by the European Commission, the European Union found that members of the
European paraffin wax industry, including Sasol Wax GmbH, formed a cartel and violated antitrust laws.

64

Table of Contents

A
fine of €318,2 million was imposed by the European Commission on Sasol Wax GmbH (of which Sasol Wax International AG, Sasol Holding in Germany GmbH
and Sasol Limited would be jointly and severally liable for €250 million). According to the decision of the European Commission, an infringement of antitrust laws commenced in
1992 or even earlier. In 1995, Sasol became a co-shareholder in an existing wax business located in Hamburg, Germany owned by the Schümann group. In July 2002, Sasol acquired the
remaining shares in the joint venture and became the sole shareholder of the business. Sasol was unaware of these infringements before the European Commission commenced their investigation at the wax
business in Hamburg in April 2005.

On
15 December 2008, all Sasol companies affected by the decision lodged an appeal with the European Union's General Court against the decision of the European Commission on the
basis that the fine is excessive and should be reduced. On 3 July 2013, the hearing at the Court in Luxemburg took place. The Court has not given any indication to the parties at the hearing of
what their legal views are. The next step is a ruling by the Court.

As
a result of the fine imposed on Sasol Wax GmbH, on 23 September 2011, Sasol Wax GmbH has been served with a law suit in The Netherlands by a company to which
potential claims for compensation of damages have been assigned to by eight customers. The law suit does not demand a specific amount. The proceeding is still at an early stage. It is currently not
possible to make an estimate of a contingent liability from the claim and, accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2013.

On
30 September 2011, another law suit was lodged with the London High Court by 30 plaintiffs against Sasol Wax GmbH, Sasol Wax International AG and Sasol Holding in
Germany GmbH. By the end of June 2013 Sasol had settled the claim with all 30 plaintiffs.

Dorothy Molefi and othersIn June 2004, certain plaintiffs sued Sasol Limited and National Petroleum Refiners of South Africa
(Pty) Ltd (Natref) and various other defendants in two claims in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These claims are similar to many instituted against a
large number of multi national corporations worldwide under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and the Torture Victim Protection Act, referred to as the related cases. The plaintiffs allege a conspiracy
between the defendants and both the former "Apartheid Era Government" as well as the post 1994 democratic government in South Africa of former Presidents Mandela and Mbeki, resulting in the genocide
of South Africa's indigenous people and other wrongful acts. Defendants in the related cases moved to dismiss the actions against them.

The
Molefi action against Sasol Limited and Natref was stayed in September 2004 pending a decision on the motions to dismiss in the related cases. The motion to dismiss in the related
cases was granted, and plaintiffs appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. During October 2007, the appeal was decided, and plaintiffs in those related cases were successful on one of the
three grounds of appeal, thus enabling the plaintiffs to amend their complaint to assert additional factual allegations to meet the requirements of the ATS. The case was then appealed to the United
States Supreme Court. In May 2008, the Supreme Court issued an order stating that because four justices recused themselves, the United States Supreme Court lacked the necessary quorum and therefore
affirmed the judgement of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals with the same effect as an affirmance by an equally divided court, namely, it does not have precedential effect. In March 2009, the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an order dismissing the case against Sasol and the other defendants based on failure to prosecute. Despite this order, it remains
possible for plaintiffs to join Sasol and the other defendants to the related cases.

In
September 2010, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in a separate decision in a case titled Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum found that the jurisdiction granted by the ATS does not
extend to civil actions brought against "private judicial entities" or corporations. This decision stands until either overturned on appeal or departed from or distinguished in other judicial
decisions. However, in July

65

Table of Contents

2011,
the US Circuit Court for the DC Circuit ruled, in a separate case involving claims under the ATS, that the ATS can give rise to corporate liability. Subsequently, plaintiffs in Kiobel v. Royal
Dutch Petroleum were granted a writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court on three issues: 1) whether the issue of corporate civil liability should be treated as a jurisdictional issue;
2) whether the ATS applies to corporations; and 3) whether and under what circumstances the ATS allows courts to recognise a cause of action for violations of the law that occur outside
of the territory of the United States.

In
February 2012, the Supreme Court heard argument in the Kiobel case. In March 2012, the Supreme Court ordered re-argument and directed the parties to file supplemental briefing
addressing the third issue, namely, whether the ATS allows federal courts to hear lawsuits alleging international law violations that occur outside of the territory of the United States. Given the
Supreme Court's holding in the Kiobel case on 17 April 2013 that the ATS does not extend to conduct outside of the United States, the plaintiffs' claims in the Apartheid Litigation matter
seeking relief for alleged violations of the law of nations occurring exclusively within South Africa will be barred. Based on the Supreme Court's holding in Kiobel, it appears unlikely that any ATS
claims asserted against Sasol based on conduct outside of the United States could be maintained in any US court.

Sasol PolymersAs previously disclosed by Sasol, the Commission has been investigating the South
African polymers industry. On 12 August 2010, the Commission announced that it had referred its findings to the Tribunal for adjudication.

The
complaints that the Commission referred to the Tribunal alleged that SCI had, in the pricing of polypropylene and propylene in the domestic South African market, contravened
section 8(a) of the Competition Act (the Act), in that its prices for each of the products were excessive. The referral further alleged that in regard to a formula employed and information
exchanged between SCI and Safripol (Pty) Ltd (Safripol) to determine the price of propylene which SCI sold to Safripol, SCI and Safripol had contravened section 4(1)(b)(i) of the Act by
engaging in price fixing. The Commission also announced that it had simultaneously reached a settlement with Safripol in which Safripol admitted that the propylene supply agreement (the Supply
Agreement) between SCI and Safripol and its implementation amounted to the indirect fixing of a price or trading condition in contravention of the Act. This settlement agreement between the Commission
and Safripol was confirmed by the Tribunal on 25 August 2010.

On
14 December 2010, Sasol Polymers, a division of SCI, also concluded a settlement agreement with the Commission in relation to the Supply Agreement. The Supply Agreement was
concluded pursuant to concerns raised by Safripol in relation to the proposed merger in 1993 of Sasol Limited and AECI Limited's monomer, polymer and certain other chemical operations. To address
these concerns, the then Competition Board required a supply agreement, which would ensure Safripol's on-going access to propylene according to a pricing formula, which would result in market-related
prices. At the time, neither party understood this pricing formula to give rise to competition law concerns. The Commission, in terms of the current Competition Act, alleged that the pricing formula,
which required the exchange of pricing information amounted to indirect price fixing.

Given
the uncertainty surrounding the legal position in relation to the pricing formula and the technicality of the matter, it was considered prudent to settle the matter. Sasol Polymers
therefore agreed to pay a penalty of R111,7 million, which represented 3% of Sasol Polymers' turnover derived from its sale of polypropylene products for its 2009 financial year. The settlement
agreement is in full and final settlement of the Commission's allegations that the pricing formula gave rise to indirect price fixing. The settlement agreement was confirmed by the Tribunal on
24 February 2011.

As
mentioned above, the Commission also contended that the prices at which Sasol Polymers supplied propylene and polypropylene were excessive. Sasol Polymers does not agree with the
Commission's position in this regard and is contesting the Commission's allegations. Consequently, the Commission's allegations in respect of excessive pricing do not form any part of the settlement

66

Table of Contents

agreement
concluded between the parties. The results of the excessive pricing investigation by the Commission and the outcome of the hearing by the Tribunal, which commenced on 13 May 2013 and
is expected to be closed in October 2013, cannot be determined at present and accordingly, no provision was made at 30 June 2013.

On
31 July 2012, a letter was received from the Commission whereby Sasol was advised that the Commission had initiated a new abuse of dominance complaint against Sasol Limited,
Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd, Sasol Synfuels (Pty) Ltd and SCI. This new complaint is based on a complaint which was initially submitted to the Commission by Safripol in November 2011.

The
initial Safripol complaint alleged that SCI had contravened various sections of the Act with regard to the pricing and supply of propylene and ethylene. Safripol subsequently
withdrew the complaint.

The
Commission has, however, decided to continue with its investigation into the matter. The allegations under investigation are excessive pricing of propylene and ethylene required by
Safripol, constructive refusal to supply scarce goods (namely propylene and ethylene), margin squeeze in respect of the supply of propylene and polypropylene and price discrimination in relation to
the sale of propylene and ethylene. These are all abuse of dominance allegations. The period of the investigation is from 2008 to date. Sasol continues to defend itself against these allegations. The
outcome of this matter cannot be estimated at this point in time and accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2013.

Sasol GasOn 30 October 2009, after being advised that certain provisions in a suite of agreements concluded between Sasol
Gas, Coal, Energy
and Power Resources Limited (CEPR) and Spring Lights Gas (Pty) Ltd (Spring Lights) constituted contraventions of the Act, Sasol Gas applied for leniency in terms of the Commission's corporate
leniency policy and obtained conditional leniency. Subsequent to Sasol Gas' leniency application, the Commission investigated the matter and found that provisions in the agreements resulted in fixing
of prices and had the effect of dividing the piped gas market by allocating customers and territories. The suite of agreements related to the establishment of Spring Lights as a broad-based black
economic empowerment (BBBEE) company for the purpose of acquiring a portion of the business of Sasol Gas as part of Sasol's BBBEE strategy at the time.

On
20 August 2010, Spring Lights concluded a settlement agreement with the Commission in terms of which Spring Lights acknowledged the mentioned contraventions and agreed to pay
an administrative penalty of R10,8 million.

Spring
Lights had also made an application to the Commission to exempt the conduct set out in these agreements, on the basis that it promoted the ability of small businesses, or firms
controlled or owned by historically disadvantaged persons, to become competitive, in terms of section 10(3)(b)(ii) of the Act. Spring Lights settlement agreement was considered by the Tribunal
on 1 September 2010 but the matter was postponedsine dieto enable the Commission to make a ruling on the exemption application of Spring
Lights. On 26 March 2012, the Commission gazetted its refusal to grant the exemption. On 11 April 2013 the Competition Tribunal confirmed the administrative penalty of
R10,8 million which became payable by Spring Lights. On 2 July 2013, Sasol Gas sold its 49% share in Spring Lights Gas to Kwande Capital, the joint venture partner, for a purchase
consideration of R474 million. The Commission has confirmed that Sasol Gas has received full immunity from prosecution pursuant to the applicable leniency agreement.

Sasol OilCommercial dieselOn 24 October 2012, the Commission referred allegations of price-fixing and market
division against
Chevron SA, Engen, Shell SA, Total SA, Sasol Limited, BP SA and the South African Petroleum Industry Association ("SAPIA") to the Competition Tribunal for adjudication. The
Commission is alleging that the respondents exchanged commercially sensitive

67

Table of Contents

information,
mainly through SAPIA, in order to ensure that their respective prices for commercial diesel followed the Wholesale List Selling Price published by the Department of Energy.

This
is not a new matter and Sasol began engaging with the Commission in this regard in 2008 as part of its group-wide competition law compliance review, which preceded the Commission's
investigation into the liquid fuels sector. Sasol has reviewed the Commission's referral documents and does not agree with the Commission's allegations. Accordingly, Sasol is defending the matter. The
outcome of this referral cannot be estimated at this point in time and, accordingly, no provision was made as at 30 June 2013.

OtherFrom time to time Sasol companies are involved in other litigation and administrative proceedings in the normal course of
business. Although
the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the company does not believe that the outcome of any of these cases would have a material effect on the group's
financial results.

Competition matters

Sasol is continuously evaluating and enhancing its compliance programmes and controls in general, and its competition law compliance
programme and controls in particular. As a consequence of these compliance programmes and controls, including monitoring and review activities, Sasol has also adopted appropriate remedial and/or
mitigating steps, where necessary or advisable, lodged leniency applications and made disclosures on material findings as and when appropriate. As reported previously, these compliance activities have
already revealed, and may still reveal competition law contraventions or potential contraventions in respect of which we have taken, or will take, appropriate remedial and/or mitigating steps
including lodging leniency applications.

The
Commission is conducting investigations into the South African piped gas, petroleum, fertilisers and polymer industries. Sasol continues to interact and co-operate with the
Commission in respect of the subject matter of current leniency applications brought by Sasol, conditional leniency agreements concluded with the Commission, as well as in the areas that are subject
to the Commission's investigations.

Environmental Orders

Sasol is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to numerous national and local environmental laws and regulations that regulate the
discharge of materials into the environment and that may require Sasol to remediate or rehabilitate the effects of its operations on the environment. The contingencies may exist at a number of sites,
including, but not limited to, sites where action has been taken to remediate soil and groundwater contamination. These future costs are not fully determinable due to factors such as the unknown
extent of possible contamination, uncertainty regarding the timing and extent of remediation actions that may be required, the allocation of the environmental obligation among multiple parties, the
discretion of regulators and changing legal requirements.

Sasol's
environmental obligation accrued at 30 June 2013 was R9 884 million compared to R8 911 million at 30 June 2012. Included in
this balance is an amount accrued of approximately R4 397 million in respect of the costs of remediation of soil and groundwater contamination and similar environmental costs.
These costs relate to the following activities: site assessments, soil and groundwater clean-up and remediation, and on-going monitoring. Due to uncertainties regarding future costs the potential loss
in excess of the amount accrued cannot be reasonably determined.

Although
Sasol has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, the amount of additional future costs relating to remediation and
rehabilitation may be
material to results of operations in the period in which they are recognised. It is not expected that these environmental obligations will have a material effect on the financial position of the
group.

Table of Contents

As with the oil and gas and chemical industries generally, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental, health, safety and process safety laws and
regulations increases the overall cost of business, including capital costs to construct, maintain, and upgrade equipment and facilities. These laws and regulations have required, and are expected to
continue to require, the group to make significant expenditures of both a capital and expense nature.

Regulation

The South African government has, over the past 17 years, introduced a legislative and policy regime with the imperative of
redressing historical, social, and economic inequalities, as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, by way of the empowerment of historically disadvantaged South Africans (HDSAs)
in the areas of ownership, management and control, employment equity, skills development, procurement, enterprise development and socio-economic development.

The
majority of our operations are based in South Africa, but we also operate in numerous other countries throughout the world. In South Africa, we operate coal mines and a number of
production
plants and facilities for the storage, processing and transportation of raw materials, products and wastes related to coal, oil, chemicals and gas. These facilities and the respective operations are
subject to various laws and regulations that may become more stringent and may, in some cases, affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Empowerment of historically disadvantaged South Africans

Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 53 of 2003

Sasol is well aligned with the economic transformation and sustainable development objectives embodied in the South African legislative
and regulatory framework governing Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE). The key elements of this framework are the BBBEE Act, the Codes of Good Practice for BBBEE issued by the Minister of
Trade and Industry in terms of the Act (the Codes), as well as the Charters (i.e. the Mining Charter and Liquid Fuels Charter in South Africa addressing employment equity) adopted by the
various sectors within which Sasol operates businesses and related scorecards. The measures discussed below reflect Sasol's commitment to giving meaningful effect to the letter and spirit of the BBBEE
legislative and regulatory framework.

Sasol Inzalo share transaction

The Sasol Inzalo share transaction is one of the major broad-based black economic empowerment initiatives undertaken by Sasol. The
share transaction was approved by Sasol shareholders in May 2008. Its components include employee trusts, the Sasol Inzalo Foundation, a transaction for selected participants, as well as a public
offering targeted at black participants. It resulted in the transfer of beneficial ownership of 10% (63,1 million shares) of Sasol Limited's issued share capital before the implementation of
this transaction to its employees and a wide spread of black South Africans (BEE participants).

It
has a tenure of 10 years and the effective date of the transaction for the Employee Trusts and the Sasol Inzalo Foundation was 3 June 2008. The effective date of the
transaction for the selected participants was 27 June 2008. The effective date for the black public invitations was 8 September 2008. Refer to "Item 5AOperating
resultsSasol Inzalo share transaction".

The Mining Charter

In October 2002, the government and representatives of South African mining companies and mineworkers' unions reached broad agreement
on the Mining Charter, which is designed to facilitate the participation of HDSAs in the country's mining industry.

69

---



Table of Contents

The
Mining Charter, together with a scorecard which was published on 18 February 2003 to facilitate the interpretation of and compliance with the Mining Charter (the scorecard),
requires mining companies to ensure that HDSAs hold at least 15% ownership of mining assets or equity in South Africa within five calendar years and 26% ownership within 10 calendar years from the
enactment of the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) which came into force on 1 May 2004.

The
Mining Charter was revised after the initial five year period and the revised Mining Charter became effective on 13 September 2010. The revised Mining Charter stated
objectives include the:



A
number of uncertainties exist with regard to the interpretation of some of the elements of the revised Mining Charter. The scorecard reporting template released by the Department of
Mineral Resources also added further elements, not contained in the revised Mining Charter.

On
11 October 2007, Sasol Mining announced the implementation of a BEE transaction valued at approximately R1,8 billion in terms whereof a black-woman controlled mining
company called Ixia Coal (Pty) Ltd (Ixia), acquired 20% of Sasol Mining's shareholding through the issue of new shares. The transaction increased Sasol Mining's BEE ownership component by 20%.
The effective date of the Ixia Coal transaction was 29 September 2010, when the remaining conditions precedent were met. Refer to "Item 5AOperating resultsSasol
Mining Ixia BEE transactions".

Various
discussions took place with the Department of Mineral Resources to acknowledge the contribution of the Sasol Inzalo share transaction, more specifically Sasol Mining's
contribution to the Sasol Inzalo Employee Share Option Programme (ESOP), towards Sasol Mining's BEE ownership status. On 11 May 2012, the Deputy Director General of the Department of Mineral
Resources approved that the Sasol Inzalo Employee Share Option Programme may be included in the calculation of Sasol Mining's BEE ownership. The combined effect of the Sasol Inzalo Employee Share
Option Programme and the Ixia Coal transaction brings the total BEE ownership of Sasol Mining to above 40%. Sasol Mining exceeds the Mining Charter's current requirements of 26% BEE ownership by 2014.

The Liquid Fuels Charter

In 2000, following a process of consultation, the Department of Minerals and Energy (now the Department of Energy) and a number of
companies in the liquid fuels industry, including Sasol Oil, signed the Liquid Fuels Charter (the Charter) which sets out the principles for the empowerment of HDSA's in the South African petroleum
and liquid fuels industry.

The
Charter requires liquid fuels companies, including Sasol Oil, among other things, to ensure that HDSAs hold at least 25% equity ownership in the South African entity holding their
operating assets by the end of a period of 10 years from the date of the signing of the Charter.

In
order to meet the equity ownership objective of the Charter, Sasol Limited concluded a black economic empowerment (BEE) transaction with an HDSA owned company, Tshwarisano LFB
Investment (Pty) Ltd (Tshwarisano), with an effective date of 1 July 2006, in terms of which transaction Sasol Limited disposed of 25% of its shareholding in Sasol Oil to Tshwarisano.
Refer to "Item 5AOperating resultsBroad-based Black Economic Empowerment transactions".

The
Charter also requires liquid fuels companies to adopt policies to further the other empowerment objectives of the Charter, among other things, employment equity, preferential
procurement and skills development.

The
Charter further provides for the evaluation by the Department of Energy, from time to time, of the industry's progress in achieving the objectives of the Charter. Given the fact that
the aforementioned 10 year period had run its course, the Department of Energy initiated a compliance audit in respect of the Charter in the latter part of the 2010 calendar year. Sasol Oil's
compliance with the Charter was audited during the first half of the 2011 calendar year and the final industry report, albeit that the written report has not yet been issued to industry, has been
discussed with industry by the Department of Energy on an aggregated basis. Sasol Oil awaits the issuance of the final written report.

BEE policies and legislation

The Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Act, underpinned by the scorecard setting out clear targets for broad-based BEE, was
promulgated into law on 9 February 2003. The scorecard measures the following areas:



As
from 1 July 2006, Sasol Oil has met the 25% BEE ownership target with Tshwarisano holding 25% of the shares in Sasol Oil in line with the Charter.

Employees

In keeping with the spirit of the Charter, as well as the Employment Equity Act, we have set employment equity targets. This requires
that advantageous treatment be given to HDSAs in aspects of employment such as hiring and promotion. Employment equity targets are set out and reviewed periodically to ensure that they are met.
Special training and mentorship programmes are in place to create a work environment that is suited to the successful nurturing of HDSA staff.

Procurement

Procurement is a crucial element of BEE as set out in the Charter, as well as in other industry charters and government policy. BEE
procurement affords smaller industry players the opportunity to participate meaningfully in the sector. As prescribed in the Charter, HDSA owned companies are accorded preferred supplier status as far
as possible.

Sasol
Oil has established a BEE procurement policy; an enhanced procurement governance model and unique strategies to stimulate growth in its BEE spend.

Corporate social investment

We focus on facilitating the socio-economic development of the communities in which we operate, through partnerships with key
stakeholders in these communities.

Social
investment is presently channelled into five main areas:



The Restitution of Land Rights Act, 22 of 1994

Our privately held land could be subject to land restitution claims under the Restitution of Land Rights Act, 22 of 1994. Under this
act, any person who was dispossessed of rights in land in South Africa as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices is granted certain remedies, including, but not limited
to:



The
Restitution of Land Rights Amendment Act became law in February 2004. Under the original act, in the absence of a court order, the power of the Minister of Land Affairs to acquire or
expropriate land for restitution purposes is limited to circumstances where an agreement has been reached between the interested parties. This act would entitle the minister to expropriate land in the
absence of agreement. Such an expropriation could be for restitution or other land reform purposes. Compensation payable to the owner of the land would be subject to the provisions of the
Expropriation Act 63 of 1975 and section 25(3) of the South African Constitution which provides, in general, that compensation must be just and equitable.

All
claims had to have been lodged with the Land Claims Commission by 31 December 1998. Although this was the final date for filing claims, many claims lodged before the deadline
are still being reviewed and not all parties who are subject to claims have yet been notified. We have not been notified of any land claim that could have a material adverse effect on our rights to
any of our significant properties. Sasol has however been notified of a potential land claim over a property that we believe belongs to Sasol Synfuels, namely the farm Goedehoop 301 IS. During the
Land Claims Commission's last visit to the affected property/ies on 24 February 2012, measurements were taken to calculate the size of the land in respect of which the claimants were allegedly
dispossessed for purposes of calculating the quantum of compensation payable. Although we have not received any written confirmation in respect of the remedy that will be granted to the claimants in
this matter, the Land Claims Commission did indicate verbally that they acknowledge that the land is not suitable for restoration of ownership and all indications are that compensation may be paid to
the claimants by the government. In 2012, Sasol received a notification of a further land claim instituted over parts of the farm Grootvlein 293 IS. Sasol Mining is the owner of Portions 13 and 29 of
the farm Grootvlein 293 IS. At this stage it is unclear which portions of the farm fall within the land claim and whether the

72

Table of Contents

claim
has any merit. In February 2013, Sasol received a notification of a further land claim instituted over Portion 8 of the farm Rietvley 320S that belongs to Sasol Synfuels. The property is of
significant importance for Sasol Synfuels since the new ash dam will be partly constructed on this property. This property is already traversed by a Sasol Mining conveyor belt and another conveyor
belt is due to cross the property in future. Sasol Synfuels was offered R2,7 million to procure the property for the purposes of settling the claim. Sasol Synfuels has informed the Land Claims
Commissioner of reasons why the property could not be sold and is awaiting a response.

Regulation of mining activities in South Africa

The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA)

The fundamental principle of the MPRDA, which came into effect on 1 May 2004, is the recognition that the mineral resources of
the country are the common heritage of all South Africans and therefore belong to all the people of South Africa. The MPRDA vests the right to
prospect and mine, including the right to grant prospecting and mining rights on behalf of the nation, in the state, to be administered by the government of South Africa. Thus, the state is the
guardian of all mineral rights and has the right to exercise full and permanent custodianship over mineral resources. However, it contained transitional arrangements for existing operations, to allow
these operations to convert its old order rights into new order rights. This transitional period came to an end on 30 April 2009.

The
MPRDA imposes significantly more stringent environmental obligations on mining activities than the repealed Minerals Act and also introduces extensive social and labour plan, mining
work programme and prospecting work programme requirements.

The
MPRDA adopts the environmental management principles and environmental impact assessment provisions of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA). The MPRDA addresses the
allocation of responsibilities for environmental damage, pollution and degradation and imposes rehabilitation obligations. It significantly extends the scope of liability of directors who may be
jointly and severally liable for any unacceptable negative impact on the environment, advertently or inadvertently caused by the company. It also allows the state to take remedial action and claim
costs. It contains the requirement for an environmental management programme/plan for all prospecting and mining operations and prohibits the carrying out of mining activities before the approval of
the programme/plan. When rehabilitation is required, it is not limited to the land surface. We comply with the MPRDA. The South African government has also adopted the MPRDA Amendment Act, 49 of 2008,
and the NEMA Amendment Act, 62 of 2008, in an effort to streamline environmental approvals. The MPRDA Amendment Bill 2008 came into effect on 7 June 2013, but the MPRD Amendment Bill, 2013 has
already been introduced into Parliament and public hearings on the 2013 MPRD Amendment Bill will take place during September 2013. Whilst the implementation of the 2008 MPRDA Amendment Bill has some
impact on our business, the 2013 MPRD Amendment Bill will have various significant impacts on our business once promulgated. The more severe impacts relate mainly to restrictions on the export of
minerals and compulsory selling of a percentage of production of coal to a local beneficiator at a prescribed price, providing wider discretion to the Minister of Mineral Resources in decision making
and providing that, mining companies will remain liable for rehabilitation post mine closure even if a closure certificate is granted by the Department of Mineral Resources. We are engaging with the
Department of Mineral Resources and the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee to raise our concerns on the proposed amendments.

Mining rights

Transitional provisions were included in the MPRDA, which phases out privately held mineral rights held under the repealed legislation.
The transitional period came to an end on 30 April 2009, and we have complied with all requirements. All old order prospecting rights have been converted to

73

---



Table of Contents

new
order prospecting rights and all our old order mining rights have been converted to new order mining rights. The mining rights in respect of the Mooikraal Operations have been granted for
30 years, while those in respect of the Secunda area have been granted for 10 years, after which both are capable of renewal. The mining rights in respect of the Secunda area were only
granted for a 10 year period as Sasol Mining did not comply with the 26% BEE ownership requirement at the time of conversion. However, on 11 May 2012 the Department of Mineral Resources
approved that the Sasol Inzalo Employee Share Option Programme contributes to Sasol Mining's BEE status, through Sasol Mining's participation in the Sasol Inzalo Employee Share Option Programme
(ESOP). This brings Sasol Mining BEE ownership to above 40%, which will subsequently enable the Department of Mineral Resources to extend the validity period of the mining rights to 30 years.
Sasol Mining exceeds the Mining Charter's current requirements of 26% BEE ownership by 2014. In this regard it should be noted that the holder of a mining right has the right to apply and be granted
renewal of a mining right, subject to meeting specified requirements of the MPRDA and the Minister of Mineral Resources must grant renewal if these requirements have been met. Rights can be renewed
for periods not exceeding 30 years at a time.

The
Mining Titles Registration Amendment Act, 24 of 2003, and regulations have been implemented simultaneously with the implementation of the MPRDA and new amendments to this legislation
are under consideration.

The
approved social and labour plans and mining work programmes are now legally enforceable, and we have undertaken and will continue to undertake any appropriate action required to
ensure retention of our converted mining rights under the MPRDA. To this effect, an external audit confirmed that Sasol Mining is complying with the Mining Charter and approved social and labour
plans.

Furthermore,
royalties from mining activities are payable to the state, as from 1 March 2010, under provisions contained in the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Royalty Act, 28 of
2008, and the Mineral and Petroleum Royalty Administration Act, 29 of 2008. The most significant feature of the acts is that the royalty is determinable in accordance with a formula-based system. The
impact on Sasol Mining for the year ended 30 June 2013 is a cost of R43,9 million (2012R34,9 million). The royalty is deductible for normal income tax purposes.

Regulation of pipeline gas activities in South Africa

The Gas Act

The Gas Act, which is currently being revised, came into effect on 1 November 2005. The Gas Act regulates matters relating to
gas transmission, storage, distribution, liquefaction and re-gasification activities. Among its stated objectives are:



The
Gas Act provides for the powers of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) regarding pipeline gas, whose powers include the issuance of licences for a range of
activities including:

Table of Contents

NERSA
has the authority to determine maximum prices for distributors, reticulators and all classes of consumers where there is inadequate competition as contemplated in the South African
Competition Act. NERSA may impose fines not exceeding R2 million a day, if a licencee fails to comply with its licence conditions or with any provisions of the Gas Act. The Piped Gas
Regulations issued in terms of section 34(1) of the Gas Act were promulgated on 20 April 2007.

The
Regulatory Reporting Manual (RRM) developed in accordance with NERSA's authority to determine the format for regulatory reporting by licenced entities was gazetted in September 2008,
with immediate effect.

In
terms of the RRM, licencees are required to submit six monthly financial reports to NERSA in compliance with the RRM requirements. The RRM obliges licencees to agree to an
implementation plan with NERSA, which includes an agreement on a cost allocation manual which will enable the conversion of Sasol Gas' statutory financial statements to the format required by NERSA as
well as the date for the submission of the relevant financial statements to NERSA. Sasol Gas submitted its implementation plan and engaged with NERSA in order to agree the process and schedule for
implementation. Separate financial reports are required for the different regulated activities of a licencee. Compliance with the RRM requirements necessitates regulatory reporting and accounting
activities in addition to the existing statutory accounting and reporting requirements of Sasol Gas and Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investments Company (Pty) Ltd (Rompco). Sasol Gas
implemented substantial upgrades to its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in 2010 in order to enable compliance with the RRM requirements. In accordance with the RRM implementation plan agreed
with NERSA, Sasol Gas is required to make its first regulatory report submission by the end of December 2013 in respect of the 2013 financial year. Rompco submitted its first regulatory report in
September 2011, for the 2010 financial year, and is expected to submit the 2013 regulatory report in December 2013.

The National Energy Regulator Act

The National Energy Regulator Act came into operation on 15 September 2005. The National Energy Regulator Act provides for the
establishment of a single regulator to regulate the piped gas, petroleum pipeline and electricity industries and for the functions and composition of the energy regulator. On 1 November 2005,
NERSA, pursuant to the National Energy Regulator Act, came into existence.

A
draft National Energy Regulator Amendment Bill has been published for comment and Sasol has subsequently commented on the proposed changes.

According
to Section 35 of the Gas Act, licence applications for existing business activities had to be submitted to NERSA within six months from the effective date of the Gas Act
(2 May 2006) by any person owning or operating gas facilities or trading in gas. Accordingly, Rompco submitted an application for the operation of a gas transmission facility in respect of the
Mozambique to Secunda pipeline. This licence to operate a transmission facility was issued to Rompco on 21 February 2007. After completion of the Rompco compressor station in Komatipoort, South
Africa, this operating licence was amended to also include the operation of the compressor station. Sasol Gas submitted licence applications for the operation of distribution and transmission
facilities as well as for trading in gas.

All
the licence applications have been compiled in accordance with the Gas Act and the rules published by NERSA. On 27 October 2008, Sasol Gas was granted 29 distribution and
trading licences in respect of its operations in the Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Free State and North West provinces in South Africa and on 23 March 2009, was granted seven distribution and trading
licences in the KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. On 12 November 2010, Sasol Gas was granted operating licences in respect of all its inland transmission facilities.

Table of Contents

The
licence applications in respect of the Sasol Gas' transmission operations in the KwaZulu-Natal province were approved on 15 December 2011. All construction activities relating
to the distribution and transmission pipeline networks of Sasol Gas are undertaken subject to the relevant construction licences as prescribed by the Gas Act.

The Mozambique Gas Pipeline Agreement (Regulatory Agreement)

This agreement entered into between Sasol Limited and the South African Government, represented by the Minister of Minerals and Energy,
and the Minister of Trade and Industry in connection with the introduction of natural gas by pipeline from Mozambique into South Africa is incorporated into the Gas Act through the reference thereto
in Section 36 of the act. The Gas Act provides that the terms of the agreement bind the Gas Regulator for a period until 10 years after natural gas is first received from Mozambique
(26 March 2004). From the date of the conclusion of the agreement, the terms of the agreement relating to the following matters constitute
conditions of the licences to be issued to Sasol Gas and Rompco under the Gas Act:



At
the conclusion of the 10 year period provided for in the Regulatory Agreement, the transmission and storage tariffs for piped gas and gas prices charged by Sasol Gas will be
subject to regulation by NERSA in terms of the regulatory powers of NERSA established by the Gas Act. In this regard, NERSA has promulgated the tariff methodology that will apply to gas transmission
and storage operations and NERSA has published the methodology that will apply to the approval of maximum prices in terms of the Gas Act.

As
part of the Gas Act, the Regulatory Agreement forms part of the legislation and, as such, the same legislative processes generally applicable to changes in legislation would apply to
it.

The
10 year regulatory dispensation negotiated with the South African government with respect to the supply of Mozambican natural gas to the South African market is expiring in
March 2014. In accordance with the regulatory framework relating to gas prices and tariffs, NERSA has on 26 March 2013 approved transmission tariffs and maximum gas prices which will apply to
our gas business in South Africa after the expiry of the aforesaid regulatory dispensation. We cannot assure you that the provisions of the Gas Act and the implementation of a new gas price and tariff
methodology pursuant
to the NERSA approvals will not have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

The Gas Regulator Levies Act

The Gas Regulator Levies Act came into effect on 1 November 2005. It provides for the imposition of levies by the Gas Regulator
on the amount of gas delivered by importers and producers to inlet flanges of transmission or distribution pipelines. These levies will be used to meet the general administrative and other costs of
the gas regulation activities of NERSA and the functions performed by NERSA in this regard. In terms of the Act, NERSA has to submit a budget to the Minister of Energy, which after approval by the
minister in conjunction with the Minister of Finance, will be relayed into a levy charged as a per gigajoule levy on the volumes of gas transported. The collection of levies commenced in September
2006. During the NERSA financial year which ended on 31 March 2013, Sasol Gas paid a total amount of R56,1 million in levies under this Act. For the NERSA financial

year
ending on 31 March 2014, the levies have been confirmed to be R0,3017/GJ (2012R0,3498/GJ). The levies have yet to receive the required ministerial approval. It is anticipated
that approximately R54,8 million will be paid in levies during this period.

Regulation of petroleum-related activities in South Africa

The Petroleum Products Amendment Act (Amendment Act)

The Amendment Act, which amends the Petroleum Products Act and became effective in 2006, prescribes that a person may not be involved
in the activities of manufacturing, wholesaling, holding or development of retail sites and retail sale of petroleum products
without the appropriate licence having been issued in terms of the Amendment Act. The Amendment Act deems any person, who was, at the time of commencement of an act amending the Petroleum Products Act
in 2003, involved in the aforementioned activities, to be a holder of a licence for that activity, provided such person has applied for such licence. With the exception of licences for new retail site
developments, applications for which are approved on an on-going basis on a per site basis, Sasol Oil is not at risk from a licensing perspective.

The
Amendment Act entitles the Minister of Energy to regulate the prices, specifications and stock holding of petroleum products and the status in this regard is as
follows:



We
cannot assure you that the application of these regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

The
Petroleum Products Act authorises the Minister of Energy to promulgate regulations and we cannot assure you that the application of these provisions of the Act, or the promulgation
of regulations in terms thereof, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

The Petroleum Pipelines Act

The Petroleum Pipelines Act (the Act), which became effective in 2005, establishes a petroleum pipelines authority, namely NERSA, as
custodian and enforcer of the regulatory framework applicable to petroleum pipelines, storage facilities and loading facilities.

The
Act provides that no person may construct, or operate, a petroleum pipeline, loading facility or storage facility without a licence issued by NERSA. It enables NERSA to impose
conditions on such licences including the setting and approval of petroleum pipeline, storage facility and loading facility tariffs for third party access.

77

Table of Contents

We have been granted licences for our regulated facilities. Applications for tariffs have been submitted in terms of the NERSA rules. The applications are of an
interim nature, as Sasol Oil is not yet in a position to fully comply with the applicable regulatory information request from NERSA. Sasol Oil has agreed a process with NERSA to implement the NERSA
prescribed RRM that will enable NERSA to fully execute its regulatory mandate in this regard.

It
is unlikely that the tariffs, once approved, will have a material financial impact on Sasol Oil.

The
Act authorises the South African Minister of Energy to promulgate regulations and we cannot assure you that the application of these provisions of the Act, or the promulgation of
regulations in terms thereof, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Safety, health and environment

We are committed to operating under safe working practices, eliminating incidents and avoiding harm to people, facilities and the
environment. Our safety, health and environment (SHE) performance is driven by the quest for continuous improvement that will help us achieve our vision of being a world class company committed to
zero harm.

We
focus on our safety, health and environmental responsibilities through our SHE policy, strategy and essential requirements. These essential requirements are also extended to joint
ventures in which we participate, subject to specific provisions in the joint venture agreements.

Our
combined mining, fuels and chemical operations are subject to numerous local, national and regional safety, health and environmental laws and regulations in Southern Africa, Europe,
the US, Canada, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Our global operations, including marketing and logistics, are also affected by international environmental and
chemical conventions.

Safety, health and environment policy and management systems

We have adopted a systems approach to the management of SHE risks. We have a single corporate SHE policy, supplemented by individual
business unit policy declarations. Matters of safety, health and environment are treated as critical business issues. Management of safety, health and environmental matters includes the setting of
targets, performance measurement, reporting, review and audit.

In
order to ensure that our safety, health and environmental performance is aligned with our group targets and objectives, SHE internal audits and external verification audits are
carried out regularly. All of our businesses are required to track their SHE performance and quarterly reports are submitted to operating boards, the group executive safety, health and environment
committee (acting as a sub committee of the group executive committee (GEC) and to the group risk and safety, health and environment committee. At the highest level, the risk and safety, health and
environment committee of the Sasol Limited board considers the major risks and liabilities, progress on our internal indicators of performance and any major incidents and events of non-compliance.

Specific
governance structures were developed to address greenhouse gas challenges facing the group. In September 2010, a group strategic project team was constituted to manage the
group's response to
the South African government's publication of a white paper on a climate change response policy and carbon tax discussion documents published in November 2011 and May 2013. We responded by indicating
that Sasol does not support the proposed carbon tax in its current form as:



78

Table of Contents



Our
experts are participating in several working groups, together with the South African government and other stakeholders, to develop the standards and guidelines which would give
effect to the country's climate change response white paper.

In
2012, a special project team was also constituted. The objective of this strategic project is to resolve uncertainties and ensure the implementation of proper strategies and
programmes to address compliance within the current air quality legislative challenges and concerns. This project also covers waste legislation. An internal carbon credit management committee, which
is governed within our Sasol New Energy business, facilitates the governance of carbon credits obtained through, amongst others, the clean development mechanism (CDM). We support the voluntary Energy
Efficiency Accord championed by the South African Department of Energy.

Our
businesses are required to manage their safety, health and environmental risks in line with internationally accredited management systems. On safety, health and environmental
management systems, our operating businesses have achieved International Standards Organisation (ISO) 14001
certification and Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Service (OHSAS) 18001 certification, as well as Responsible Care® verification.

Health and safety management

Occupational safety.Tragically five people lost their lives in work-related incidents in 2013. Two of these occurred on public roads in
South Africa
and three occurred on Sasol operated facilities. The prevention of work-related fatalities remains a Group priority.

Fires, explosions and releases.The manufacture of Sasol products involves using flammable and toxic substances, often at high
pressures and
temperatures. Hence, managing the risk of fires, explosions and releases of hazardous substances is essential for us. Fires, explosions and releases are reported and investigated and efforts to reduce
the frequency and severity of these events are managed through a dedicated Process Safety Management structure and plan.

The
Process Safety Management System is based on the requirements of the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration Process Safety Management and US Environmental Protection Agency
(US EPA) Risk Management Program regulations. Through the application of these standards, the risks of releases of hazardous substances are minimised. These standards apply to all Sasol operations
worldwide, including those in the US.

Sasol
North America (Sasol NA) has also adopted a Security Code of Management Practice, which requires that we conduct a security vulnerability analysis to identify areas in which
additional security measures are necessary, and have a management system in place for other aspects of plant, distribution and cyber security. We have also submitted all of the required security
information to the Department of Homeland Security for compliance with the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standard (CFATS).

All
Sasol sites have identified and quantified their major risks with regards to major fire, explosion or releases, through a systematic Process Hazard Analysis process. Risk mitigation
plans are in place. We maintain a comprehensive insurance programme to address identified risks. It is our policy to procure property damage and business interruption insurance cover for our
production facilities above acceptable deductible levels at acceptable commercial premiums. However, full cover for all scenarios of maximum losses may in some years not be available at acceptable
commercial rates and we cannot
give any assurance that the insurance procured for any particular year would cover all potential risks sufficiently or that the insurers will have the financial ability to pay claims.

Health.Although Sasol has strong pro-active measures for managing occupational health, work related illnesses continue to be diagnosed
specifically
in our Sasol Mining operations. Most of these can be attributed to historic exposures. The specific illness recordings is exacerbated by an increasing age profile of our employees in mining and the
prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) which diminishes the immune system and increases likelihood of contracting secondary disease.

Emissions.Because of the nature of some of our processes, including coal gasification for the production of petrochemical products,
our operations
generate relatively high carbon dioxide emissionsmainly our coal gasification operations situated in South Africa. South Africa is classified as a developing country in terms of the Kyoto
Protocol and though we are largely exempt from the emissions reduction targets required under the Protocol, we have implemented a successful project to replace coal as a feedstock with natural gas at
our Sasolburg chemical operations. It is important to note that South Africa has submitted voluntary emission reduction pledges for the Copenhagen Accord, which were captured in the Climate Change
Response White Paper. Refer also to "Item 3.DRisk factorsChanges in safety, health and environmental regulations and legislation and public opinion may adversely
affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition".

In
recent years, global understanding and awareness regarding climate change have increased significantly. We regularly review our greenhouse gas (GHG) policy and GHG targets as
developments in the international carbon negotiations take place. We have set targets for reducing GHG emissions intensity by 15% by 2020 on the 2005 baseline. In addition, new CTL plants commissioned
before 2020 have a target emissions reduction of 20%, increasing to 30% reduction for new CTL plants commissioned by 2030 (with the 2005 designs as the baseline) as a precautionary measure. The Sasol
New Energy business is pursuing opportunities in low carbon electricity, energy efficiency and clean coal. Some of these potential solutions are not yet proven on a large scale and face regulatory,
economic, technical, geological and geographical challenges.

We
monitor and measure ambient air quality around our South African plants. Our operations in the US have reduced reported emissions under the Toxic Release Inventory by over 92% since
reporting began in 1987. Significant efforts are being made to reduce hydrogen sulphide and volatile
organic-compound (VOC) emissions emanating from our Secunda operations, the former mainly brought about by the commissioning of a sulphuric acid plant. Moreover, the implementation of the VOC
reduction programme will result in significant decreases in fugitive emissions from our operations.

Water.Water use is increasingly becoming a source of concern, not only in mining, but in all our operations, in particular in South
Africa, Qatar
and other arid countries. A series of water treatment and saving programmes and projects were introduced or are currently under way to address challenges in all of our operations. Current initiatives
in South Africa include water offsetting projects in collaboration with local authorities. We have also set internal targets for water efficiency. Sasol endorsed the United Nations Global Compact CEO
Water Mandate which presents a comprehensive approach to water management. It is a voluntary initiative to positively contribute to sustainable water resource management.

Land remediation and rehabilitation.As a result of our chemicals and fuels processes, we have particular land management risks that we
have
addressed or are currently addressing. A group wide approach towards contaminated land management and remediation is adopted in order to ensure that all areas of potential liabilities are adequately
addressed and managed in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Waste.Potential risks associated with waste generation, management and disposal are a priority for us. Historical legacies are
addressed in
accordance with relevant legal requirements, and cleaner production techniques are implemented to address future risks. Where we acquire new plants, we aim

80

---



Table of Contents

to
identify the attendant risks and seek the necessary indemnities from the sellers. Where we have not secured such indemnities, we rely on the relevant assessment information to manage the associated
liabilities of the non-material risks.

Asbestos.We have a strategy for the risk-based phase-out of asbestos, which is being implemented by our operations. We have
implemented a policy to
ensure that new sources of asbestos are not procured in the construction of new facilities worldwide. Remaining asbestos on some of our older facilities is
managed according to a set of Sasol requirements in the absence of statutory phase out requirements. Asbestos is removed and disposed of under strict regulatory requirements as plant modifications are
made or as necessary for maintenance.

Product Stewardship.We have a product stewardship implementation plan according to the requirements of the International Council of
Chemicals
Associations (ICCA) global product strategy (GPS). The implementation of the GPS requires a more structured and far wider process for chemical products management within the chemical industry
and with customers and other stakeholders.

We
are following all changes in product registration requirements in regions such as the US and Asia-Pacific (e.g. China) in order to ensure compliance to these requirements and
maintaining the ability to trade our products lawfully.

This
includes the European Registration, Evaluation, and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) regulations that came into effect on 1 June 2007, aiming to improve the protection of
human health and the environment while maintaining competitive trade. We ensure that substances that constitute our products and that are subject to REACH will meet these requirements.

Regions in which Sasol operates and their applicable legislation

South Africa

In South Africa, we operate a number of plants and facilities for the manufacture, storage, processing and transportation of chemical
feedstock, products and wastes. These operations are subject to numerous laws and ordinances relating to safety, health and the protection of the environment.

Environmental regulation

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa provides the framework for the environmental legislation in South Africa.
Section 24 of the constitution enshrines the right of all citizens to an environment that is not harmful to their health and well-being and provides individuals with a right to the protection
of the environment. It further provides that these rights can be enforced through reasonable legislative and other measures to prevent pollution and degradation, to promote conservation and to secure
ecologically sustainable development. Below is an analysis of some of these laws, which may be relevant to our operations.

National Environmental Management Act.The National Environmental Management Act (the Act) provides for co-operative environmental
governance and
coordination of the environmental functions of the government. The Act regulates environmental authorisation requirements, compliance and provides for enforcement measures including provision for
fines of up to R10 million. These governance and enforcement measures also extend to special environmental management acts, such as the Waste Act, the Water Act and the Air Quality Act. The Act
principally imposes a duty of care on persons who have or may pollute or degrade the environment and other responsible parties to take reasonable measures to prevent and remediate environmental
damage, protects workers' and provides for control over emergency incidents. Non-compliances with provisions on, amongst other things, the duty of care and reporting of significant incidents, is
regarded as offences under the Act.

Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act.Environmental governance with respect to mining, prospecting, production and
exploration is
regulated under the MPRDA, consistent with the provisions of the National Environmental Management Act. This act makes provision for the effective management of impacts associated with mining
activities. An environmental management programme or plan (EMP) must be compiled and approved by the Department of Mineral Resources, and regularly reviewed. The EMP is required to cover potential
environmental as well as socio-economic impacts.
This act further requires the making of financial provision for the rehabilitation or management of negative environmental impacts.

Water protection

The National Water Act (the Act) provides for the equitable allocation of water for beneficial use, sustainable water resource
management and the protection of the quality of water resources. The Act establishes water management procedures and protects water resources through the licensing of various uses of water. It also
includes provisions for pollution prevention, remediation requirements and emergency incident management. The Department of Water Affairs is implementing a pricing strategy (in future to include a
Waste Discharge Charge System) aimed at allocating the appropriate price for the use of water, which may have a significant impact on operational costs.

A
significant part of our operations, including mining, chemical processing and others, require use of large volumes of water. South Africa is generally an arid country and prolonged
periods of drought or significant changes to current water laws could increase the cost of our water supplies or otherwise impact our operations.

Air quality protection

The National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act.This act came into full effect on 1 April 2010. In terms of this act, the
Department
of Environmental Affairs (the Department) imposes stricter standards on air quality management in South Africa, through the adoption of ambient and minimum point source emission standards. The minimum
point source emission standards impose different standards for new and existing facilities effective from 1 April 2010. New facilities must comply with the standards immediately. Existing
facilities have five years within which to comply with standards imposed thereon and must comply with the standards imposed for new facilities within 10 years. Compliance with the minimum point
source emission standards will result in significant capital and operational costs. In 2012, a special project team was constituted to resolve uncertainties and ensure the implementation of proper
strategies and programmes to address compliance within the current air quality legislative challenges and concerns.

The
Department has declared the Vaal Triangle (where the Sasolburg plant is situated) and the Highveld area (where our Secunda operations are situated) as Priority Areas. The Vaal
Triangle and Highveld Priority Area Air Quality Improvement Plans are being implemented. Compliance with the provisions of these plans will have significant cost implications.

Climate change management:Some of our processes in South Africa, especially coal gasification, result in relatively high carbon
dioxide emissions.
South Africa is considered a developing country in terms of the Kyoto Protocol and, accordingly, it is largely exempt from the emissions reductions required. However, government has committed to
emission reduction pledges under the voluntary Copenhagen accord which is incorporated in the National Climate Change Response White Paper published in November 2011. In May 2013, a second carbon tax
discussion document was published for comment. The comment period closed on 31 August 2013.

Waste

The National Environmental Management: Waste Act.The act introduces legislative requirements on all aspects of waste management in a
comprehensive
manner. The act also regulates on contaminated land management, but this section of the act is not in effect yet and is dependent on the finalisation of regulations and standards on contaminated land
which is expected in the late 2013 calendar year. The act imposes various duties on holders of waste (being any person who stores, accumulates, transports, processes, treats and disposes of waste).
These duties are potentially far reaching as waste is broadly defined. The act also requires licences to be obtained for the commencement, undertaking or conducting of waste management activities. The
act further regulates waste information systems and provides for specific regulation of priority wastes. Compliance with specific provisions of the Waste Act with regards to contaminated land and
waste management may have significant cost implications.

Hazardous substances

Hazardous Substances Act.This act provides for the control and licensing of substances that may cause injury, ill-health or death to
human beings by
reason of their toxic, corrosive, irritant, strongly sensitising or flammable nature. Regulations have also been proposed providing for the adoption of the United Nations Globally Harmonised System
for the classification and labelling of chemicals. This will facilitate alignment with existing international practices.

Other legislation

The National Road Traffic Act.This act and its regulations regulate the road transportation of dangerous goods and substances. This
act provides
specifications for road tankers, classification of dangerous goods, labelling, duties of responsible persons, compatibility of multi-loads, driver training and dangerous substance documentation.

The National Railway Safety Regulator Act.This act provides for similar regulation in respect of rail transport.

The Explosives Act.This act consolidates the laws relating to the manufacture, storage, sale, transport, importation, exportation and
the use of
explosives and imposes an authorisation requirement for the manufacture and storage, as well as for the import, export and sale of explosives.

The Fertilisers, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies and Stock Remedies Act.This act regulates the registration, importation, sale,
acquisition,
disposal or use of fertilisers, among other products.

Health and safety

Occupational Health and Safety Act.This act covers a number of areas of employment activity and use of machinery in South Africa,
excluding mining
activities. This act and specific regulations thereunder impose various obligations on employers and others to maintain a safe workplace and minimise the exposure of employees and the public to
workplace hazards, and establish penalties and a system of administrative fines for non-compliance.

Mine Health and Safety Act.This act is to protect the health and safety of persons at mines by requiring that employers and others
ensure that their
operating and non-operating mines provide a safe and healthy working environment, determining penalties and a system of administrative fines for non-compliance, and giving the Minister of Mineral
Resources the right to restrict or stop work at any mine and require an employer to take steps to minimise health and safety risks at any mine.

Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act.The purpose of this act is to provide for compensation for disablement caused
by
occupational injuries or diseases sustained or contracted by

83

Table of Contents

employees
in the course of their employment, or for death resulting from such injuries or diseases. This act is administered by the Minister of Labour, through a Director-General who manages a
compensation fund to which employers contribute, directly or indirectly. Where indirect contributions are made, these contributions are made to a mutual association, which acts as the insurer in
respect of claims against the employers. All employers, with the exception of those in national, provincial and local government, are required either to register under the act or to be fully insured
against related liabilities.

Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act.This act relates to the payment of compensation in respect of certain diseases contracted
by persons
employed in mines or at locations where activities ancillary to mining are conducted. Any mine (including the Sasol Mining operations) at which risk work takes place is deemed to be a controlled mine
in respect of the employees for whom the employer is required to make payments to the fund for occupational diseases, in order to meet relevant claims. Persons who are employed in controlled mines are
required to have a certificate of fitness, which must be renewed from time to time. Recent case law on the interpretation of the act now provides for civil claims to be instituted against employers in
addition to compensation claimed and awarded under this act.

For
further information, refer to "Item 6.CBoard PracticesThe risk and safety, health and environment committee".

Germany

In Germany, we operate a number of plants and facilities for the manufacture, storage, processing and transportation of chemical
feedstock, products and wastes. These operations are subject to numerous laws and ordinances relating to safety, health and the protection of the environment.

General environmental care

In terms of the act regulating on the Assessment of Environmental Impacts, the environment impact assessment (EIA) is an instrument of
preventative environmental care that is legally binding. This has been introduced in existing public procedures for the licensing of, or considerable amendment to, certain projects of relevance to the
environment, including chemical facilities. Issues relating to general environmental care are addressed by the environmental provisions of the Regional Planning Act and other specific and planning
law. The Environmental Liability Act provides for liability where human life or health is disturbed and where emissions have entered the soil, water or the air, the owner of a facility is liable on a
fault basis and irrespective of whether the damage was caused as a result of a hazardous incident or during normal operations. Installations that pose a particular risk to the environment must have
provisions for sufficient cover, an obligation which may be met by arranging liability insurance.

Criminal
law provisions are included in the act to combat environmental crime, which targets a range of polluting activities, including water, soil and air pollution, environmentally
damaging waste disposal and noise. It also addresses licensing of the operation of installations and the handling of hazardous substances and goods and particularly serious environmental offences.

Specific environmental protection legislation

Emission control.The guideline legislation to protect humans and the environment from air pollution and noise pollution is the Federal
Emission
Control Act. This act and the ordinances promulgated under it provide the framework for environmental protection and the technical safety of installations. It provides for licensing for installations
that are particularly susceptible to causing harmful environmental impacts, including chemical facilities or mineral oil refineries.

Table of Contents

Chemicals Act.This act is complemented by the Plant Protection Act and the Fertilisers Act, as well as by legislation on animal
feedstuffs and human
foodstuffs and by substance-related provisions in other areas of care of the environment. This also includes the provisions concerning the environmental impacts of genetic technology under the Genetic
Technology Act.

Avoidance, recovery and disposal of waste.The Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act regulates the avoidance, recovery and
disposal of
waste. The aim of this act is to promote an economy based on closed substance cycles, thus conserving resources, and to guarantee the environmentally sound disposal of waste. Wherever waste cannot be
avoided, recovered or used to produce energy, it must be removed from the cycle and, as a matter of principle, be disposed of within Germany in a way that is not detrimental to the common good.

Waste Transportation Act.This act regulates the transport of waste into, out of or through the area of application of the act and
creates the basis
for the establishment of a solidarity fund to finance the return of waste exported illegally.

Water protection.The guideline legislation in the field of water protection is the Federal Water Act. This requires everyone to
exercise adequate
care when carrying out measures which may have an impact on a water body so that water pollution or any other negative effect on water is prevented. Surface waters and groundwater are, as public
utilities, subject to a public management and utilisation code, which leaves the allocation of users' rights at official discretion.

The
Waste Water Charges Act complements the Water Management Act and authorises an annually rising waste water charge linked to the toxicity of the discharged waste water.

Soil protection.The protection and care of soil as an environmental medium and part of the ecosystem is promoted by a range of
environmental
provisions, primarily the Federal Soil Protection Act. Soil protection measures, preventative or remedial, aim at avoiding or reducing substance inputs into the soil, or removing already existing soil
damage, and at addressing the extensive land consumption caused by soil sealing.

Hazardous substances

Regulation of hazardous substances.Provisions for the protection of humans and the environment against the harmful effects of
hazardous substances
and preparations are provided in the Chemicals Act, the related ordinances on the Prohibition of Certain Chemicals and the Hazardous Incidents Ordinance. All hazardous substances, as per the scope
identified in the EU REACH Regulation, are subject, to a registration and notification obligation before they can be brought onto the market. Hazardous substances and mixtures must be classified,
labelled and packed in accordance with the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation in line with their hazardous properties. Further regulations prohibiting and limiting
manufacture, marketing and use also apply.

Health and safety

The Health and Safety at Work Act provides for protection of the health and safety of employees. It places the employer under a duty to
assess hazards at the workplace, to take appropriate preventive measures, and to instruct employees about measures used. The employer must take precautions for especially hazardous areas and
situations and provide preventive occupational healthcare. This act is complemented by the Safety at Work Act, which places employers under a duty to appoint appropriately qualified officers to
support them in occupational health and safety matters, including ergonomic workplace design.

Italy

In Italy, we operate a number of plants and facilities for the storage and processing of chemical feedstock, products and wastes. These
operations are subject to numerous laws and ordinances relating to safety, health and the protection of the environment.

General environmental care

The Environmental Decree (Legislative Decree 152/2006) came into force in 2006, regulating the most important environmental matters,
including authorisations, emissions, water management, wastes and remediation and environmental damages. Several decrees were issued detailing different aspects of the law.

European
Directive 96/61/EC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) provides that companies must obtain an integrated authorisation for all environmental impact. This directive has
been replaced by the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU), which came into effect on 6 January 2011.

Specific environmental protection legislation

Emission control.Environmental protection and the technical requirements for the licensing of all installations from which emissions
emanate is
regulated by Legislative Decree 152/06, section 5.

Avoidance, recovery and disposal of waste.Legislative Decree 152/06, Part 4, incorporates the principle of 'polluters pay' and
further
provides for cradle to grave liability for waste. Legislative Decree 4/2008 introduced some requirements about Waste Water Treatment and Risks analysis compliance for underground water contamination.

Water protection.Legislative Decree 152/2006, Part 3, defines the authorisation procedure and discharge limits, in order to
protect surface
and underground water. Surface water and groundwater are, as public utilities, subject to a public management and utilisation regulation which leaves the allocation of users' rights at official
discretion.

Soil protection.The protection and care of soil as an environmental medium and part of the ecosystem is promoted by Legislative Decree
152/06, which
essentially follows the Ministerial decree 471/1999 with some simplification as far as documentation is concerned. Soil protection measures, preventative or remedial; aim at avoiding or reducing
substance inputs into the soil, or removing already existing soil damage. The Legislative Decree sets forth both the acceptable limits and the rules for monitoring communication and reclamation.

Hazardous substances

Regulation of hazardous substances.Legislative Decree 52/1997, implemented in Italy, the EU Directive, relevant to classification,
packaging and
labelling of dangerous substances. Legislative Decree 65/2003 implemented the EU Directives relevant to classification, packaging and labelling or dangerous preparations. All hazardous substances, as
per the scope identified in the EU REACH Regulation, are subject, to a registration and notification process before they can be brought onto the market. Hazardous substances and mixtures must be
classified in accordance with the EU CLP Regulation in line with their hazardous properties. Further regulations prohibiting and limiting manufacture, marketing and use also apply.

Health and safety

Legislative Decree (LD) 81/08, governs Safety and Occupational Health (including construction work) with the exclusion of Major Hazards
(Seveso). This Decree imposes obligations on an employer

with
regards to workplace health and safety and also provides for liability related to health and safety incidents.

United States

In the US, we operate a number of plants and facilities for the storage and processing of chemical feedstock, products and wastes.
These operations are subject to numerous laws and ordinances relating to safety, health and the protection of the environment.

Environmental compliance

Sasol North America (Sasol NA), Sasol Wax North America, Sasol Chemicals North America and Merisol are subject to numerous federal,
state, and local laws and regulations that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of human health and the environment. As with the chemical
industry, generally, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental, health, safety, and process safety laws and regulations increases the overall cost of business, including capital costs to
construct, maintain, and upgrade equipment and facilities. These laws and regulations have required, and are expected to continue to require Sasol NA, Sasol Wax North America, Sasol Chemicals North
America and Merisol to make significant expenditures of both a capital and expense nature. Environmental compliance expenditures for Sasol NA and Merisol's manufacturing sites for the next five years
are estimated to range from US$3 million to US$7 million per year.

Remedial action

Sasol NA's total estimated liability at 30 June 2013 for its 10% share of Bayou Verdine and the Calcasieu Estuary CERCLA Site is
approximately US$500 000. Under the agreement for the acquisition of Sasol Chemie, 80% of Sasol NA's estuary related remediation costs are expected to be indemnified by RWE-DEA AG, and
will continue to be indemnified until at least 1 March 2023.

Canada

In 2011, Sasol acquired various interests in natural oil and gas properties in British Columbia through a joint venture partnership
with Talisman Energy Inc. These properties are governed by numerous Canadian provincial (and to a lesser degree, federal) requirements.

Oil and natural gas production

The provincial Petroleum and Natural Gas Act (PNGA) and Oil and Gas Activities Act (OGAA) are the primary sources of regulatory
controls over Sasol's interests in oil and
gas producing areas in Canada. These statutes include a wide array of tenure, operational and public review requirements. A common theme of the requirements is that producers must hold applicable
licences, leases, permits and other approvals.

Water protection

Substantial volumes of water are needed for British Columbia oil and gas production. For example, large volumes of water are used to
fracture shale gas formations. Extractions of water from ground and surface sources are regulated by the OGAA and the provincial Water Act. Water extraction wells are subject to requirements governing
well tenure and location, construction and aquifer management. The piping of water to exploration or production sites is governed by special approval requirements (covering fisheries, pipeline
construction, tenure and surface rights issues).

Table of Contents

Emissions

British Columbia's Environmental Management Act (EMA) prohibits emissions, discharges and the like into the environment without
prescribed permits. Several permits apply to activities at the British Columbia subject properties, covering releases to air and water.

Contaminated sites

Soil and groundwater contamination in the British Columbia oilpatch is regulated primarily by the contaminated sites regime in the EMA
and its supporting Contaminated Sites Regulation (CSR). The EMA and CSR are highly prescriptive, and are further supported by detailed protocols and guidance documents published by the Ministry of
Environment (MOE). Liability can be triggered in two ways: (a) a statutory cause of action enables parties who incur "remediation costs" at a "contaminated site" to recover those costs in a
civil action from "responsible persons" (in addition to common law tort remedies available to a plaintiff); and (b) the MOE regulator may issue a remediation order against persons responsible
for a "contaminated site".

Fisheries

The federal Fisheries Act is the primary source of requirements to protect fish and fish habitat. This act prohibits, subject to
applicable authorisations, the destruction or alteration of fish habitat and the release of "deleterious substances" in fish-bearing water bodies. The Fisheries Act is a prominent consideration in the
construction of pipelines and roadways and extractions of surface water.

Environmental assessment

Further development of the British Columbia properties might trigger one or both of provincial and federal environmental assessment
(EAs) requirements. EAs commonly will require substantive public review and aboriginal (or First Nations) consultation. To date, none of the activities undertaken in relation to the Canadian
operations have triggered an EA.

First Nation consultations

A unique and prominent factor in Canadian safety, health and environmental law (SHE law) is the recognition of First Nations rights and
the reconciliation of those rights with those held by government or private individuals. In the case of British Columbia, the constitutional recognition of First Nations rights stems from Treaty 8,
signed in 1899 between the Crown and First Nations. Government regulators, as a result must often discharge a constitutional duty to "consult and accommodate" First Nations in the course of their
regulatory functions. Many aspects of consultation and accommodation have been formalised in the British Columbia oilpatch in the form of agreements and procedures, which continue to evolve in
response to judicial guidance. These agreements and procedures often delegate consultation duties to private operating entities. An overview of the First Nation engagement activities carried out of
the joint venture indicated a comprehensive and proactive program in line with best practices for the industry.

Occupational and workplace safety

The provincial government's Workers Compensation Act and supporting regulations and policies set out detailed rules respecting
workplace safety. Special rules (found in this act's regulations) apply to the petroleum sector.

Mozambique

In Mozambique, Sasol operates a processing plant and associated facilities for the extraction and processing of natural gas and
condensate and transportation of natural gas. The Central Processing Facility (CPF) has been in operation since February 2004. These operations are subject to numerous Mozambican laws and regulations
as well as World Bank Group requirements and best practice standards.

Environmental, health and safety regulations.The Ministry for the Coordination of Environmental Affairs (MICOA) coordinates
environmental affairs in
Mozambique. A National Environmental Management Programme is the policy document outlining the priorities for environmental management and sustainable development in Mozambique. This programme
contains a National Environmental Policy, a proposal for Framework Environmental Legislation and Environmental Legislation and an Environmental Strategy.

The
Framework Environmental Law (20/97) provides a legal framework for the use and correct management of the environment and its components and to assure sustainable development in
Mozambique. This law is applicable to all public or private activities that may directly or indirectly influence the environment. It requires licensing of activities that are liable to cause
significant environmental impacts. The granting of an environmental licence is subject to the preparation and approval of an appropriate level of environmental impact study and management plan.

The
body of environmental legislation is growing and comprises Decree 45/2004 of 29 SeptemberRegulation on Environmental Impact Assessment Process. The EIA for
Exploration development and production of petroleum activities, gas and mineral resources extractive industry is governed by specific regulation.

Decree
no.18/2004, of 2 JuneThe Regulation on Environmental Quality and Effluent Emissions Standards aims to establish the standards for environmental quality and for
effluents release in order to assure the effective control and maintenance of the admissible standards of concentration of polluting substances on the environmental components.

Decree
32/2003 of 12 AugustRegulation on the Environmental Audit Process, establish that the costs of an environmental audit are to be exclusively supported by the
applicant, i.e. Sasol (for private audits) and the Government (for public audits).The Regulation on Environmental Inspections (11/2006), the Regulation on Waste Management (13/2006), General
Directives for Environmental Impact Studies (129/2006), the Public Participation Process (130/2006) and a Decree (56/2010) on Environmental Regulation for Petroleum Operations.

In
terms of environmental protection and safety, the Petroleum Act (3/2001) and the Petroleum Operations Regulations (24/2004) require holders of exploration and production rights to
conduct petroleum operations in compliance with environmental and other applicable legislation. Petroleum operations must be understood as all or any activities related to exploration, development,
separation and treatment, storage, transportation and sale or delivery of petroleum from the point of export, or to the agreed supply point in the Republic of Mozambique will have to comply with the
environmental and other applicable legislation, and includes Natural Gas processing and the closure of all concluded activities.

Mineral Rights.Petroleum activities are regulated by the Petroleum Act and Regulation (Law 3/2001, of 21 February and Decree
24/2004, of
20 August, respectively). The National Petroleum Institute administers and regulates petroleum operations on behalf of the Mozambique Government. The Mozambique government encourages the
exploration and development of the country's hydrocarbon potential within a certain project framework.

Qatar

In Qatar, we participate in a joint venture involving a number of plants and facilities for the storage and processing of chemical
feedstock, products and wastes. These operations are subject to numerous laws and ordinances relating to safety, health and the protection of the environment.

Environmental regulation.All public or private development plans, including industrial, agricultural and infrastructure projects are
required to
follow the Environmental Protection Law and obtain an environmental authorisation permit from the Ministry of Environment (MOE). The MOE is also responsible for environmental protection and
conservation in the State of Qatar.

The
Environmental Protection Law, Decree-Law No. (30) of 2002 is aimed at protection of the environment, prevention of pollution (short -and long-term) and sustainable development
by providing for development of natural resources for the benefit of the present and future generations, the protection of society, human health and other living creatures, and protection of the
environment from the damaging effect of activities outside of the State of Qatar.

The
Executive By-Law for the Environmental Protection Law, issued vide the Decree Law No. 30 for the Year 2002 (the By-Law) stipulates specific standards and regulations to meet
the objectives of The Environmental Protection Law. This includes regulations on determining the environmental impact of projects (requirements to conduct an EIA), emergency response plans for
environmental disasters, hazardous wastes and materials, air pollution, water pollution, protection of marine environment. It also includes annexure regulations on:

The
State of Qatar has implemented CDM, an initiative to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Gas flaring mitigation and the reduction of carbon emissions were among the two key
areas focused on by the State of Qatar as part of its commitment towards CDM.

The
Environmental Design Basis (EDB) stipulates the environmental standards that should be followed during the project phase.

Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).There is no regulatory authority for safety or health in Qatar and therefore ORYX
GTL used the
internationally recognised OSHA standards as guidelines where applicable.

Other countries

In a number of other countries we are engaged in various activities that are regulated by local and international laws, regulations and
treaties. In Malaysia, China and other countries, we operate plants and facilities for the storage, processing and transportation of chemical substances, including feedstock, products and waste. In
the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Gabon and other countries, we are involved, or are in the process of being involved, in exploration, extraction, processing or storage and transportation activities
in connection with feedstock, products and waste relating to natural oil and gas, petroleum and chemical substances. Our operations in the respective jurisdictions are subject to numerous laws and
regulations relating to exploration and mining rights and the protection of safety, health and the environment.

All mines employ the underground board and pillar mining method, using continuous miners. At Sasolburg, the Sigma Mine was established in 1950 and
the Mooikraal shaft started production during 2006. In the Secunda area, production at the first two mines, Brandspruit and Bosjesspruit, commenced in 1977. Twistdraai and Middelbult followed during
the early 1980s, while Syferfontein started production in 1992. The Brandspruit mine reserves are almost depleted and will be replaced by a new greenfields mine, Impumelelo, in a phased approach from
2014. In 1996, the Twistdraai Export mine was commissioned. The mine boundaries are extended based on on-going studies and new planning. All the production equipment is either replaced or overhauled
on a regular basis according to a managed maintenance system.

Processing operations

Export businessSecunda operations.The export business was initiated in August 1996 as part of a growth strategy. To date, a
total of
51,4 Mt of coal has been exported and 2,3 Mt of coal has been sold locally. This was beneficiated from 134,2 Mt at the Twistdraai Export Plant, from 1996 through 2013. Coal is fed to the beneficiation
plant from the existing Twistdraai mine. The Twistdraai mine reserves are almost depleted and will be replaced by a new greenfields mine, Thubelisha, in a phased approach from 2014. The beneficiation
plant produces a primary export product with an ash
content of approximately 13,2% (air dried) as well as a secondary product for the Sasol Synfuels market.

The
export beneficiation plant has a design throughput capacity of 10,5 Mt per year. In 2013, 5,5 Mt was processed. The plant consists of a primary and secondary beneficiation stage. The
primary stage comprises three modules with two identical feed streams each. The coal is fed at a rate of 300 tons per stream per hour, which is fed into three 800 millimetre (mm) diameter dense medium
cyclones. There are a total of 18 cyclones in the primary stage. The secondary stage consists of two modules with two 1 000 mm diameter dense medium cyclones.

Table of Contents

The
run of mine (ROM) coal is transported via overland conveyor belts to the export beneficiation plant from the Twistdraai mine. The export product is loaded onto trains by means of a
rapid load-out system, and then transported to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) in KwaZulu-Natal.

The
existing nameplate capacity at the RBCT was increased from 76 Mt to 91 Mt per year, following the commissioning of the Phase V expansion in May 2010. Sasol Mining has a 5%
share in the original capacity of this terminal, which corresponds to the existing entitlement of 3,6 Mt per year. For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that Sasol Mining will only export
approximately 2,85 Mt per year. This is largely due to the phasing in process of the Phase V entrants and availability of export entitlement to new participants at RBCT.

Sasol Coal SupplySecunda operations.Sasol Coal Supply operates the coal handling facility between Sasol Mining and Sasol
Synfuels by
stacking and blending coal on six stockpiles of 110 000 tons each. The overland conveyors from the mining operations to the coal handling facility are, in total, 35 km long and also form
part of the Sasol Coal Supply operation.

The
Sasol Coal Supply operation has a stockpile capacity of 660 000 tons, which is turned over approximately 1,2 times per week. In addition, there is a reserve stockpile
capacity of more than 2,5 Mt. The objectives of this facility are:



The
daily coal supply to Sasol Synfuels is approximately 112 000 tons.

Coal exploration techniques

Sasol Mining's geology department employs several exploration techniques in assessing the geological risks associated with the
exploitation of the coal deposits. These techniques are applied in a mutually supportive way to achieve an optimal geological model of the relevant coal seams, targeted for production purposes. The
Highveld Basin is considered to be structurally complex when compared to the other coalfields in South Africa where mining activities are taking place. As a result, Sasol Mining bases its geological
modelling on sufficient and varied geological information. This approach is utilised in order to achieve a high level of confidence and support to the production environment.

Core recovery exploration drilling.This is the primary exploration technique that is applied in all exploration areas, especially
during
reconnaissance phases. In and around operational mines, the average vertical borehole density varies from 1:10 to 1:15 (boreholes per hectare), while in medium term mining areas, the average borehole
density is in the order of 1:25. Depths of the boreholes drilled vary, depending on the depth to the Pre-Karoo basement, from 160 m to 380 m. The major application of this technique is to locate the
coal horizons, to determine coal quality and to gather structural information about dolerite dykes and sills, and the associated de-volatilisation and displacement of coal reserves. This information
is used to compile geological models and forms the basis of geological interpretation.

Directional drilling. Directional drilling from surface to in-seam has been successfully applied for several years. A circular area with a
radius of approximately 1,6 km of coal deposit can be covered by this method, from one drill site. The main objective of this approach is to locate dolerite dykes and transgressive dolerite sills, as
well as faults with displacements larger than the coal seam thickness.

97

---



Table of Contents

Horizontal drilling.This technique is applied to all operational underground mines and supplies short-term (minimum three months)
exploration
coverage per mining section. No core is usually recovered, although core recovery is possible, if required. The main objective is to locate dolerite dykes and transgressive sills intersecting the coal
mining horizon, by drilling horizontal holes in the coal seam from a mined out area. A drilling reach of up to 1 km is possible, although the average length is usually 800 m in undisturbed coal.

Aeromagnetic surveys.Many explorations were usually aero-magnetically surveyed before the focused exploration was initiated. The main
objective is
to locate magnetic dolerite sills and dykes, as well as large-scale fault zones.

Airborne electro-magnetic surveys.Due to the occurrences of non-magnetic dolerite dykes and sills, it has been necessary to survey
certain
exploration areas electro-magnetically to pinpoint these structures to optimise mine deployment.

Geophysical wireline surveys of directional boreholes.Geophysical surveys are routinely conducted in the completed directional drilled
boreholes.
This results in the availability of detailed information leading to increased confidence of the surface directional drilling results. This technique has also been applied in underground directional
drilling with excellent results.

Secunda operations

The coal supplied to Sasol Synfuels is the raw coal mined from the four mines supplying Sasol Synfuels exclusively and the secondary
product from the export mine's beneficiation plant.

Extensive
geological exploration has been done in the coal resource areas. Additional exploration is undertaken to update and refine the geological models, which allows accurate
forecasting of geological conditions and coal qualities, for the effective planning and utilisation of the coal reserves.

Computation and storage of geological information

Geological information is stored in the Acquire database. Data validation and quality checking through several in-house methods is
conducted regularly. Data modelling is conducted by manual interpretation and computer-derived geological models, using the Minex 6 edition of the GEOVIA/MINEX software. Reserves and composite
qualities are computed using established and recognised geo-statistical techniques.

General stratigraphy

The principal coal horizon, the Number 4 Lower Coal Seam, provides some 90,26% (201290,35%) of the total proved and
probable reserves. The Number 4 Lower Coal Seam is one of six coal horizons occurring in the Vryheid Formation of the Karoo Supergroup, a permo-carboniferous aged, primarily sedimentary
sequence. The coal seams are numbered from the oldest to the youngest.

Characteristics
of the Number 4 Lower Coal Seam. The Number 4 Lower Coal Seam is a bituminous hard coal, characterised by the following borehole

Reserve estimation (remaining reserves at 31 March 2013)

We have approximately 3,9 billion tons (Bt) (20124,0 Bt) of gross in situ proved and probable coal reserves in the
Secunda Deposit and approximately 1,3 Bt (20121,3 Bt) of recoverable reserves. The coal reserve estimations are set out in table 1 below. Reported reserves have not been decreased
by the synthetic oil reserves as reported in the supplemental oil and gas information, as the reserve disclosure in this section is inclusive of Sasol Mining's total coal resources and reserves
available for mining operations. The different reserve areas are depicted on maps on pages M-4 and M-5, as well as whether a specific reserve area has been assigned to a specific mine.

(1)The
coal reserve estimations in this table were compiled under supervision of Mr Viren Deonarain and Mr Jakes Lock. The "South African Code
for Reporting of Minerals Resources and Minerals Reserves (The SAMREC Code 2007 edition)" dealing with competence and responsibility, paragraph 7, state Documentation detailing Exploration
Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral reserves from which a Public Report is prepared, must be prepared by, or under the direction of, and signed by a Competent Person. Paragraph 9 states: A
'Competent Person' is a person who is registered with SACNASP, ECSA or PLATO, or is a Member or Fellow of the SAIMM, the GSS or a Recognised Overseas Professional organisation (ROPO). The Competent
Person must comply with the provisions of the relevant promulgated Acts. Mr J Swart (Pr.Nat.Sc), on behalf of Golder and Associates performed a comprehensive and independent audit of the coal
resource/reserve estimations in July 2011 and the estimates were certified as correct. The current estimation is still in line with the audited reserve and resources statement of July 2011. The
estimation of the reserves is compliant with the definition and guidelines as stated in the SAMREC and JORC codes, as well as SEC Industry Guideline 7.(2)The
gross in situ coal resource is an estimate of the coal tonnage, contained in the full coal seam above the minimum thickness cut off and relevant coal
quality cut off parameters. No loss factors are applied and seam height does not include external dilution or contamination material.(3)The
recoverable coal reserve is an estimate of the expected recovery of the mines in these areas and is determined by the subtraction of losses due to
geological and mining factors and the addition of dilatants such as moisture and contamination.(4)The
P% of P51 refers to the export product yield from the recoverable coal reserve and the S% of S20 refers to secondary product yield, which will be
supplied to the Sasol Synfuels factory. The balance of this is discard material. The secondary product yield dropped due to an increase in slimes generated.(5)Mt
refers to 1 million tons. Reference is made of tons, each of which equals 1 000 kilograms, approximately 2 205 pounds or
1 102 short tons.

Criteria for proved and probable

Over and above the definitions for coal reserves, probable coal reserves and proved coal reserves, set forth in Industry Guide 7, under
the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which are included in our glossary, we consider the following criteria to be pertinent to the classification of the reserves.

Probable
reserves are those reserve areas where the drill hole spacing is sufficiently close in the context of the deposit under consideration, where conceptual mine design can be
applied, and for which all the legal and environmental aspects have been considered. Probable reserves can be estimated with a lower level of confidence than proved coal reserve. Currently this
classification results in variable drill spacing depending on the complexity of the area being considered and is generally less than 500 m, although in some areas it may extend to 880 m. The
influence of increased drilling in these areas should not materially change the underlying geostatistics of the area on the critical parameters such as seam floor, seam thickness, ash and volatile
content.

Proved
reserves are those reserves for which the drill hole spacing is generally less than 350 m, for which a complete mine design has been applied which includes layouts and schedules
resulting in a full financial estimation of the reserve. This classification has been applied to areas in the production stage or for which a detailed feasibility study has been completed.

Legal rights on coalfields

Prospecting permits and mining authorisations (including the underlying mineral rights) were substituted with interim statutory rights
to be converted into new order rights in
accordance with the transitional provisions of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 28 of 2002, which came into effect on 1 May 2004. Sasol Mining, therefore, held these interim
statutory rights (old order mining rights) to mine more than 98% of the mineral rights previously owned in the Secunda area. Sasol Mining's old order mining rights consisting of 163 687
hectares of coal rights in respect of the Secunda area and 4 938 hectares in respect of the Mooikraal operation near Sasolburg were converted into new order mining rights on
29 March 2010. The four converted mining rights in respect of the Secunda Complex comprises the total reserve area depicted in table 1 and plan in attachment page M-5. Refer to
also "Item 4.B Business OverviewRegulation of mining activities in South Africa". In respect of the Mooikraal Operation in the Free State, the relevant old order mining right was
also converted and signed on 29 March 2010. In addition, Sasol Mining was granted a mining right in respect of small reserve blocks situated within or adjacent to the Mooikraal operation.

Sasolburg operations

Exploration history

The Northern Free State area in South Africa was first explored in the late 1930s. The exploration was conducted by drilling core
recovery boreholes over the current Sasolburg area. Some boreholes were initially drilled by the South African government. The Sigma mine was established in 1950. Subsequent drilling by the General
Mining and Finance Corporation in the 1960s identified more coal reserves in the southwest of the existing Sigma mine as well as extensions to the south and east. Page M-4 includes a map
showing the location of our Sasolburg coal operations.

The
geological models are continually updated and refined with additional drill and analytical results.

Coal seam geology

There are two primary coal seams of importance, the Number 2 Coal Seam and the Number 3 Coal Seam. These coal seams are
separated by a carbonaceous mudstone to siltstone parting and consist of a number of coal plies and carbonaceous mudstone interburdens. The individual coal plies

103

---



Table of Contents

are
numbered from the base upwards and selected mining horizons are identified on the basis of the coal quality required. The major controlling factor on the coal development is the pre-Karoo
basement.

Selective
mining within coal seams implies that strict horizon control is exercised to maintain mining on the selected horizon. This has been done very successfully at the old Sigma
underground operations and at the Mohlolo underground operation. The same principles which were applied when mining the old Sigma and Mohlolo underground operations are applied at the Sigma: Mooikraal
mine. In the visible coal seam a well-defined sulphide marker within the seam assists in the identification and verification of the pre-determined minable horizon underground, even in areas where the
coal seam is displaced by faulting.

In
general, the quality of the coal (the ash yield or the fixed carbon content) deteriorates from the base of the coal seam to the top of the coal seam.

In-seam
occurrence of inorganic material is rare in the selected mineable area and may consist of locally developed carbonaceous mudstone lenses. Inorganic material occurs mainly towards
the top of the coal seam, but has been excluded from the selected mineable horizon.

Sigma
mine has been active since 1950 and has completed total extraction of board and pillar and longwall mining on both the major coal seams. The operations at the Mohlolo underground
mines, developed from the highwalls of the Wonderwater strip mine, were closed during the 2006 calendar year.

The
Sigma: Mooikraal mine started production during 2006. The production for 2013 is 1,7 Mt (20122,0 Mt), where the number 3 B seam is mined.

Selected mining horizon

The determination of the selected mining horizon is driven primarily by the required coal quality for the steam process at Sasol
Infrachem. In order to define the mining
horizon, detailed sampling, with associated coal seam descriptions, are conducted. From this, both a visual and chemical correlation of the plies are made.

Reserve estimation

Sasol Mining has 57 Mt (201260,7 Mt) proved recoverable coal reserves for supply to Sasol Infrachem for steam generation
from the number 3B coal seam. The reserve estimation is depicted in Table 4 below.

gross in situ coal resource is an estimate of the coal tonnage, contained in the full coal horizon, selected for mining, above the minimum thickness cut
off a relevant coal quality cut off parameters. No loss factors are applied and seam height does not include external dilution or contamination material.(3)Recoverable
coal reserve refers to the economically mineable coal, inclusive of diluting and contaminating material, and allows for losses that may occur
when material is mined.(4)At
Sasolburg, no coal beneficiation is conducted with 100% of the recoverable coal supplied to the client.(5)Mt
refers to 1 million tons. One ton equals 1 000 kilograms, approximately 2 205 pounds or 1 102 short tons.

Oil and gas production and exploration operations

Sasol Petroleum International (Pty) Ltd (SPI) manages our global upstream interests and activities including exploration,
appraisal, development and production of natural oil and gas. Through SPI, its subsidiaries and our Canadian holding companies, we currently have equity in producing assets with proved natural oil and
gas reserves in Mozambique, Gabon and Canada; and interests in licences in Southern and Western Africa and Australia for exploration and development.

Mozambique producing assets

In Mozambique, natural gas and condensate is produced from the onshore Pande-Temane PPA asset. Sasol Petroleum Temane Limitada, a
subsidiary of SPI, is the operator and holds a 70% working interest in the asset under the terms and conditions of the Pande-Temane Petroleum Production Agreement. Production of natural gas and
condensate is from the Temane and Pande onshore gas fields via a central processing facility (CPF) located some 700 km north of the Mozambican capital, Maputo. The CPF has been fully operational since
the start of production from Temane in 2004. Production from Pande commenced in 2009.

In
2013, the net economic interest production from the Pande-Temane PPA asset amounted to 94,6 Bscf gas and 300 000 bbl condensate; and the net economic interest
proved reserves at 30 June 2013 are estimated to be 1 519,2 Bscf gas and 4,5 MMbbl condensate.

Mozambique exploration and development assets

We also have equity in four non-producing licences which are operated by SPI subsidiaries, two are onshore and two are offshore.

In
the onshore Mozambique Pande-Temane Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) asset we hold a 100% interest, with Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH), the national oil company of
Mozambique, being entitled, under the terms and conditions of the Pande-Temane Production Sharing Agreement, to a calculated share in any production. In November 2012 an appraisal report was submitted
to the Instituto Nacional de Petroleo (INP), the petroleum regulator in Mozambique. Subsequent to submission of the report, in February 2013, notice of commercial discovery of some oil and gas
accumulations was made followed by the declaration of two associated development and production areas in May 2013. Both areas are currently the subject of development studies. Also in February 2013,
Commercial Assessment Periods were requested on a number of other discoveries in the PSA licence area.

The
other onshore Mozambique licensed area is the Exploration and Production Concession Area A, in which we hold a 100% paying interest, with ENH assigned a 10% carried interest
until field development.

Offshore
Mozambique, we hold a 58,8% paying interest in the Exploration and Production Concession of the shallow water area of Blocks 16&19 (our partner holds a 41,2% paying interest),
with ENH assigned a 15% carried interest until field development. This follows a relinquishment of the deepwater parts of the Concession at the end of the contract term on 30 June 2013. In the
shallow water part of the licence, petroleum operations were suspended in 2008 until the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is completed.

The
other offshore Mozambique licence is the Exploration and Production Concession Sofala, in which we have a 100% paying interest, with ENH assigned a 15% carried interest until field
development.

The
offshore Mozambique Exploration and Production Concession M-10 was relinquished in April 2013.

Gabon producing assets

In Gabon, oil is produced from the offshore Etame Marin Permit asset. Under the terms of the Etame Marin Permit Exploration and
Production Sharing Contract, we hold a 27,75% interest in the areas covered by Production Permits and a 30% interest in the exploration areas. The asset is operated by VAALCO Gabon (Etame) Inc.
The permit contains three oil fields (Etame, Avouma and Ebouri) as well as other discoveries and prospects. The Etame field came on stream in 2002 and is producing oil through a floating production,
storage and off-loading vessel (FPSO) moored over the Etame field. In 2007, the Avouma field was brought on stream, and the Ebouri field was brought on stream in 2009. Both these fields produce oil
through minimum facilities fixed platforms that are tied back by pipelines to the Etame FPSO where production is commingled, processed and exported.

In
2013, the net economic interest production from the Etame Marin Permit asset amounted to 1,3 MMbbl oil and the net economic interest proved reserves at 30 June 2013 are
estimated to be 4,3 MMbbl oil.

Canada producing assets

In Canada, natural gas and petroleum liquids are produced from the unconventional (shale/tight gas) Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset
located in British Columbia. We acquired our 50% working interest in Farrell Creek and Cypress A by means of two transactions, with licence participation

Table of Contents

commencing
on 1 January 2011, from Talisman Energy Inc., who operate the asset under the terms and conditions of the Talisman Sasol Montney Partnership agreements. Our equity is held via
Canadian holding companies, which are subsidiaries of Sasol Investment Company (Pty) Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sasol Limited, and is managed by SPI. Farrell Creek comprises 30 licences
and leases and contains 91 producing wells (at 30 June 2013), associated gas gathering systems and a 320 MMscf/day processing facility. Cypress A comprises 27 licences and leases and contains 6
producing wells and associated gas gathering systems, with production that is processed through third party facilities.

In
2013, production from the Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset amounted to 22,3 Bscf gas and 0,05 MMbbl petroleum liquids and the net economic interest proved reserves at 30 June
2013 are estimated to be 47,9 Bscf gas and 0,2 MMbbl liquids.

Other areas of exploration and development assets

In Botswana we have 50% equity in three non-producing coalbed methane (CBM) and coal prospecting licences PL134/2010, PL135/2010 and
PL136/2010 which are operated by an SPI subsidiary.

In
Nigeria we hold interests in two offshore deepwater licences. In the OML-140 licence we have a 5% interest. The licence is operated by Chevron. One area of OML-140 has been declared a
discovery (Nsiko field) and the assessment of the development potential is on-going. The licence also includes part of the Bonga SW/Aparo oil field in which we have a 0,375% interest. This field is
operated by Royal Dutch Shell under the terms of a Pre-Unitisation Agreement. In the OPL-214 licence we have a 5% interest. The licence is operated by ExxonMobil. One area of OPL-214 has been declared
a discovery (Uge field) and the assessment of the development potential is on-going. In April 2012 the
operator applied for conversion of OPL-214 to an Oil Mining Licence and the operator has engaged over the last year with the Government in order to clarify the OML boundary. The operator advises that
industry experience has been that OML conversion approval could take up to two years.

We
no longer have an interest in the Nigeria OPL-247 licence. Approval of the reassignment to the original licence concessionaires was received in 2013.

In
the offshore Northwest Shelf of Australia we have a 45% interest in the Finder Exploration (Pty) Ltd operated ACP-52 licence. On receipt of all required approvals our equity
will be reduced to 30% following a farm-down to Shell.

We
no longer have an interest in the offshore Australia licences WA-388 or WA-433. The WA-338 licence expired in August 2012 and our interest in WA-433 was transferred to our partners in
May 2013.

Approval
of the relinquishment of exploration rights for South Africa Block 3A/4A was received in October 2012. In May 2013, SPI and PetroSA were awarded the area as a Technical
Co-operation Permit (TCP) allowing studies for one year. Additionally, in South Africa an application for an Exploration Right over the existing Durban offshore TCP032 was submitted in September 2012
and is anticipated to be awarded in 2014.

In
Papua New Guinea, the PPL-285, PPL-286 and PPL-288 licences were surrendered in July 2012 with the remaining prospective acreage in the north of PPL-285 and PPL-288 being converted to
a new licence PPL-426. PPL-287 was retained. In December 2012, we transferred operatorship of the licences to Talisman and in July 2013 we sold our equity in both PPL-287 and PPL-426 to Talisman. The
sales of both PPL-287 and PPL-426 are subject to Government approval after which we will no longer have an interest in Papua New Guinea.

Mozambique proved reserves:The Mozambique proved reserves are contained in the Pande-Temane PPA asset. These represent the net economic
interest
volumes that are attributable to SPI after the deduction of production tax. The reserves are limited by take or pay quantities defined in the six existing gas sales agreements for the remainder of the
terms of the contracts.

Gabon proved reserves:The Gabon proved reserves are contained in the Etame Marin Permit asset. These represent the net economic
interest volumes
attributable to SPI after application of the terms of the Exploration and Production Sharing Contract.

Canada proved reserves:The Canada proved reserves are contained in the unconventional (shale/tight gas) Farrell Creek and Cypress A
asset. Full
development of the asset will require around 3 000 wells, of which only 4% have been drilled to date. In view of the low natural gas price in Western Canada and North America the
extensive remaining development plan has slowed to adjust to market conditions. Reserves are presently limited to those volumes of gas and condensate that are forecast to be produced from existing or
currently sanctioned wells.

Changes to proved reserves:The table below presents in oil equivalent terms the proved reserves of natural oil and gas for the
producing assets
managed by SPI, over the years shown and identifies the reasons for the changes in the estimates.

Proved undeveloped reserves converted to proved developed reserves:Proved undeveloped reserves converted to proved developed reserves
in 2013 (0,2
MMbbl) in Gabon resulted from the drilling and completion of Avouma development wells. The cost associated with this reserves movement are: ETBSM-1H
workoverUS$3 140 927 and EAVOM-3H development well capitalisedUS$10 389 158.

Proved
developed reserves were added in Canada (8,6 Bscf) through the continued drilling programme but these volumes were not disclosed as proved undeveloped reserves last year. Net
capital expenditure to Sasol was R2 622 million for well and pad preparation, drilling and completion activities and R555 million for associated infrastructure. The actual
spending incurred by Sasol is affected by the capital carry obligations that form part of the consideration for Sasol's acquisition of its interest in the assets.

Proved undeveloped reserves remaining undeveloped:A significant volume of proved undeveloped natural
gas reserves (around 650 Bscf) has remained undeveloped in the Mozambique Pande-Temane PPA asset for the last seven years. This volume was increased by about 190 Bscf this year as the result of new
gas sales agreements. The total volume of some 840 Bscf represents gas that will be recovered as part of the approved field development plan and which is required to satisfy all existing gas sales
agreements.

Table of Contents

Gas
from Sasol Petroleum International's (SPI) Mozambican Pande-Temane PPA operations is sold under six gas sales contracts most of which extend to 2029 or beyond. The total proved gas
reserves disclosed by us for Mozambique represent the future minimum off-take volumes under these contracts. Minimum delivery volumes are also specified in the contracts.

In
order to optimise timing of capital expenditures required to convert undeveloped reserves to developed reserves we regularly study production performance from the two fields and
review plans for installation of additional compression and wells. The current estimate is that additional wells will not be required before 2024 but low-pressure compression is planned to be
installed in phases between 2015 and 2023.

Preparation of reserve estimates:To ensure natural oil and gas reserves are appropriately estimated, are accurately disclosed and are
compliant with
current SEC regulations and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) requirements, we have established and maintain guidelines and procedures, which are reviewed by suitably experienced independent
external consultants, and a set of internal controls, which are in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. The internal controls cover, amongst other matters, the
segregation of duties between those who prepare, review and approve the estimates; confirmation that those who estimate the reserves are appropriately qualified and experienced; the review, by an
internal panel containing an experienced independent external assessor or by an independent consultancy, of all estimated future production rates and future capital and operating costs to ensure that
the assumptions, data, methods and procedures are appropriate; a review of the technologies used in the estimation process to determine reliability; confirmation that the compensation arrangements of
those who are involved in the estimation of reserves are not materially affected by the reserves; and approval and authorisation arrangements to validate the economic assumptions and to ensure that
only accurate, complete and consistent data are used in the estimation of reserves.

The
technical person within SPI, who is primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of natural oil and gas reserves, is the Manager: Subsurface Characterisation &
Engineering. The qualifications of the incumbent include a MA and MSc in Mathematics with 34 years' experience in oil and gas exploration and production activities and 26 years'
experience in reserves estimation.

stratigraphic test well is drilled to obtain information pertaining to a specific geological condition and is customarily drilled without the
intent of being completed. Stratigraphic test wells are 'exploratory type' if not drilled in a known area or 'development type' if drilled in known area.A
service well is an injection well, water supply / disposal well or an observation well.


Exploratory and development activities in 2011:The key activities in 2011 were in the Mozambique Pande-Temane PPA and Pande-Temane PSA
assets and
the Gabon Etame Marin Permit.

In
the Pande-Temane PPA asset, three development wells were completed and placed in production. In the Pande-Temane PSA asset, one (gross) horizontal exploratory well (I-9z) was drilled
and liquid hydrocarbons were encountered. In the Gabon Etame Marin permit two (gross) development wells (ET-7H and ETBSM-2H) were drilled and placed in production.

Additionally
a number of stratigraphic test wells exploratory type were drilled in various assets. No commercial hydrocarbons were encountered and all the wells were subsequently plugged
and abandoned.

Mozambique exploratory and development activities 2012:In the Pande-Temane PPA asset the main activity was the completion of the 183
MGJ/a CPF
expansion project.

In
the Pande-Temane PSA licence an Extended Well Test (EWT) was conducted on the Inhassoro I-9z well to establish the economic viability of a liquids development. Cumulative production
from the I-9z EWT since the well was opened in March 2012 was 41 900 barrels to 30 June 2012.

Other
exploration and pre-development activities and technical studies were undertaken in Mozambique including the acquisition of 3D and 2D seismic data in Sofala and Area A,
respectively.

Gabon exploratory and development activities 2012:3D seismic data was acquired in the shallow water part of the Etame Marin Permit in
2012 and
interpretation of the re-processed seismic dataset commenced with a view to identifying drillable exploration prospects and firming up resource estimates for potential new developments.

Canada exploratory and development activities 2012:In Canada, 52 (gross) wells were drilled in Farrell Creek, bringing the total wells
drilled to 99
(gross), of which 82 are on-stream. The Farrell Creek CPF was expanded by the addition of two refrigeration units with 50 and 90 MMscf/day capacities, bringing the total processing capacity to 320
MMscf/day. In Cypress A there were 6 wells on stream. Additional 3D seismic data acquisition for Farrell Creek and Cypress A was completed.

Other areas exploratory and development activities 2012:The key activities undertaken in other areas in 2012 included the drilling of
three (gross)
stratigraphic test wells of exploratory type. Two of these (Uge-5 and Nza-1X) were commitment wells in the Nigeria OPL-214 licence and the other (Vucko-1) was a commitment well in the Australia WA-433
licence. Both the OPL-214 wells resulted in discoveries of oil and gas. The WA-433 well was dry and has been plugged and abandoned.

In
the other assets various exploration and pre-development activities and technical studies were undertaken including seismic processing and data interpretation in Papua New Guinea and
the Australia ACP-52 licence and an aeromagnetic survey commenced in the Botswana PL134/2010, PL135/2010 and PL136/2010 licences.

Mozambique exploratory and development activities 2013:In the Pande-Temane PPA asset the main activity was a well surveillance
programme, the
results of which are currently being assessed. The low pressure compression project is currently at the detailed engineering stage with the procurement of long lead items initiated. The installation
of the compressors will enable the existing wells to continue to meet the requirements of the existing gas sales contracts.

In
the Pande-Temane PSA licence the Extended Well Test (EWT) of the Inhassoro I-9z well was extended and completed in March 2013 to establish the economic viability of a liquids
development. In November 2012, an appraisal report was submitted to the Instituto Nacional de Petroleo (INP), the petroleum regulator in Mozambique. Subsequent to submission of the report, in February
2013, notice of commercial discovery of some oil and gas accumulations was made followed by the declaration of two associated development and production areas in May 2013. Both areas are currently the
subject of development studies. Also in February 2013, Commercial Assessment Periods were requested on a number of other discoveries in the PSA licence area.

In
November 2012, the Mupeji-1 exploration well in the offshore M-10 Concession was plugged and abandoned as a dry hole. The post-well analysis confirmed the absence of sufficient
remaining potential to warrant continuing the exploration phase, and the licence was released at the end of the second period on 30 April 2013.

Sasol
relinquished the Njika discovery and deepwater parts of the offshore Blocks 16&19 Concession at end of the contract term on 30 June 2013, but has retained the shallow water
area with a view to perform further studies when the outcome of the Strategic Environmental Assessment is known.

In
the offshore Sofala licence, the process to farm-down up to 35% Sasol equity in early 2013 resulted in no proposals. Further studies are continuing to determine if a prospect can be
matured in the third period before the licence termination in January 2015.

In
onshore Area A, acquisition of 2D seismic data continued throughout 2013. By end of the year, more than half of the programmed 2 247 line kilometres had been acquired,
with the completion targeted for October 2013.

Gabon exploratory and development activities 2013:The key development activity in the Etame Marin Permit in 2013 was the drilling of
one (gross)
horizontal development well on the Avouma field which proved an eastern area of the field and was immediately brought into production. Two workovers were also conducted in 2013.

An
exploration well was drilled as part of the 2012 drilling campaign. Both targets were encountered but discovered to be water-bearing, and the well was classified as a dry hole. The
deepest section of the hole was plugged and abandoned but the top-hole section could be re-entered for additional, future drilling if required. Reprocessing of 3D seismic data has been completed, in
tandem with the reprocessing of shallow water 2D lines in the shallower water area of the license. Analysis of the results is underway.

study was begun to examine the origin and characteristics of the H2S encountered in the Ebouri field and a project was initiated for Ebouri field crude sweetening. Sasol
sanctioned the combined Ebouri Expansion and South East Etame and North Tchibala project in December 2012. All members of the Etame joint venture have approved the project. The Etame Field Development
Plan was submitted to the Gabon authorities and verbal approval has been received. Engineering and design studies are in progress.

Canada exploratory and development activities 2013:In Farrell Creek a total of 29 (gross) development wells were drilled during this
period, while
13 (gross) wells were completed, leaving 31 wells for completion in future periods. In addition, 1 stratigraphic test well was drilled in Cypress A. 3D seismic data is also in the process of being
acquired in Cypress A.

Other areas exploratory and development activities 2013:In Botswana, an aeromagnetic survey (acquisition of approximately 31 000
line
kilometres of high resolution magnetic data) and an airborne light detection, ranging and imaging survey, were completed over the PL134/2010, PL135/2010 and PL136/2010 licences. An environmental
management plan was completed in November 2012 and in December 2012 the exploration core-hole project commenced. Three (gross) stratigraphic test wellsexploratory type were drilled in
each licence. All nine wells intersected coal containing gas in variable quantities. The project also included sampling, logging and permeability testing of reservoir sections in each well. The wells
were plugged and abandoned and remediation of drill sites has been completed. Studies to understand the well results were initiated.

In
the Nigeria OML-140 licence, front-end engineering design (FEED) work continues on the Bonga SW/Aparo field development project following approval of the full-field development plan
in December 2012. This is a Shell operated field that overlaps part of OML 140. The project targets achievement of the final investment decision in calendar year 2014 and First Oil in calendar year
2020. No development drilling took place in 2013. Exploration activity by the operator Chevron in OML-140 comprised studies on several prospects in the permit. Exploration well planning is in progress
for two prospects, which are being considered for drilling in calendar year 2014 and 2015. Some drilling long-lead items have been ordered.

In
the Nigeria OPL-214 licence, operator ExxonMobil is evaluating concepts to develop the Uge field (pre-FEED stage), including a study with Chevron for Nsiko joint development.
Exploration activity comprised risk and resource assessment of leads and prospects inventory, and analysis of Uge North oil quality.

In
South Africa, approval of the relinquishment of exploration rights for Block 3A/4A was received in October 2012. In May 2013, SPI and PetroSA were awarded the area as a Technical
Co-operation Permit for a one year study.

An
application for an Exploration Right over the existing South African TCP032 permit area was submitted in September 2012 and is anticipated to be awarded in 2014. In June 2013, SPI
signed a contract with CGG to licence 6 000 km seismic data. 4 830 km data was acquired by end-May 2013. This data is currently undergoing processing with delivery scheduled
for end-November 2013

In
Papua New Guinea, exploration activities in PPL-426 comprised acquisition of 2D seismic data and in PPL-287, seismic reprocessing was on-going to complete the work programme.

In
Australia, activities in ACP-52 were limited to the joint farm-out by Sasol and Finder. In WA-433, evaluation of the Vucko-1 well result was performed and the remaining potential was
reviewed.

amounts capitalised in respect of asset retirement obligation assets of R722 million relating to Mozambique and R10,6 million relating
to other assets.


There are no other capitalised exploratory well costs which have been expensed, and there is no reclassification of previously capitalised
exploratory well costs to wells, equipment and facilities due to new fields being brought into production during the year.

Mozambique capitalised exploratory well costs:In the Pande-Temane PSA licence, R1 101,4 million exploratory well costs
continue
to be capitalised for a period greater than one year after the completion of drilling. This amount includes the asset retirement obligation of R627,8 million and relates mainly to the
exploration drilling conducted and completed in 2008 and the declaration of discovery areas. Appraisal drilling activities commenced in 2009 and continued in 2011 with the drilling of the Inhassoro
well (I-9z) which was then tested for approximately nine months in 2012 and 2013. Notices of commercial discovery have been given for a number of accumulations in the PSA licence and development
studies are under way.

Gabon capitalised exploratory well costs:The exploration well, EEBOM-5P, drilled in the southwest area of the main Ebouri field
towards the end of
2013 was declared a dry hole after failing to encounter hydrocarbons. The upper part of the hole has been temporarily abandoned and can be re-entered for additional future drilling if required. The
total cost remaining as capitalised was US$2,2 million (R21,7 million), attributable to the temporarily abandoned upper part of the hole, with US$2,7 million (R27 million)
expensed to the income statement as a dry hole attributable to the plugged & abandoned lower portion. There is a small cost capitalised for EOVKM-1 during 2013 amounting to
US$18 894 (R0,2 million).

The
Etame Marin Permit exploratory well costs that continue to be capitalised (R65,2 million) relate to the stratigraphic test wellexploratory type (ETSEM-1) that
resulted in a discovery in June 2010. During 2013, the Etame joint venture sanctioned the combined Ebouri Expansion and South East Etame and North Tchibala project which includes development of the
volumes discovered by ETSEM-1.

Canada capitalised exploratory well costs:There are no capitalised exploratory wells costs in Canada.

Other capitalised exploratory well costs:The capitalised well costs, under 'Other areas' in the table above relate to licences in
Nigeria and
Botswana.

For
the Nigeria OML-140 licence, exploratory well costs continue to be capitalised pending the completion of FEED studies on the Bonga SW/Aparo field development concepts and the
completion of pre-FEED and FEED studies of a potential Nsiko field development. For the Nigeria OPL-214 licence exploratory well costs and other costs continue to be capitalised pending the assessment
of a potential Uge field development which is at the pre-FEED study stage.

For
Botswana, expenditure amounting to R54,4 million has been capitalised in 2013. This represents the cost of drilling nine stratigraphic test wellsexploratory type
in the Botswana coalbed methane PL134/2010, PL135/2010 and PL136/2010 licences. The costs will remain capitalised pending the evaluation of the well results and the completion of further technical and
commercial studies.

Mozambique present activities:In the Pande-Temane PPA, the completion of a new well to provide additional water disposal capacity is
being studied
should the injectivity of the current well decrease. Low pressure compression project work is under way with planning for the installation of the compressors in early 2015.

In
the Pande-Temane PSA, following notice of commercial discovery of some accumulations and proposal of development and production areas, a development project has been initiated. At
present
the study is in the process of finalising the development concept before initiating FEED studies in 2014 and submitting a development plan in 2015.

The
only current operational activities in the Mozambique exploration concessions is the on-going acquisition of 2D seismic data in Area A, scheduled to be completed in October 2013. If
any prospects are matured, the intention would be to enter the next period with a drilling commitment. Technical studies are proceeding in all three exploration concessions.

Gabon present activities:There was one commitment exploration well in the current approved work program. Drilling commenced on
26 July 2013
and ceased on 30 August 2013 when a decision was made to plug and abandon the well on the basis that no hydrocarbons were encountered. Further near-field exploration studies within the license
area are under way based on the newly reprocessed seismic data. Results from the study to examine the origin and characteristics of the H2S encountered in the Ebouri field have been
received and are currently undergoing analysis. A workover on the Ebouri field was recently completed and the well has been brought back in to production.

Canada present activities:Between July 2013 and December 2013, the remainder of the revised approved annual work programme provides
for the drilling
of 11 new wells and the completion of 27 wells, some minor in-field facility expansion and the acquisition of additional seismic data over Cypress A.

Other areas present activities:In the Botswana coalbed methane PL134/2010, PL135/2010 and PL136/2010 licences evaluation of the
results from the
2013 drilling programme will continue. The current work programme also includes technical and commercial studies to determine the most appropriate option for the next exploration phase.

The
current approved work programme in Nigeria OPL-214 comprises studies only, mainly on concept development for the Uge field. In Nigeria OML-140 pre-FEED studies on the Nsiko field
development and FEED studies on the BSWAp field development constitute the current approved work programme.

In
Australia, work on the ACP-52 licence consists solely of technical studies.

In
South Africa, technical studies of existing data in TCP3A/4A are on-going. If the outcome is positive, the joint venture has the option to convert the TCP to an exploration right in
May 2014. In TCP032, conversion to an exploration right has been approved and the licence award is expected in 2014. The forward plan in 2014 is to evaluate the newly acquired data.

Delivery commitments

Mozambique assets production:The Pande-Temane PPA natural gas produced, other than royalty gas that is provided to the Mozambican
government, is
sold under six contracts; two with Sasol Gas and one each with Aggreko, Matola Gas Company S.A. (MGC), Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) and CTRG. The gas sold to Sasol Gas under
long-term sales agreements, is exported for marketing in South Africa and as part of the feedstock for Sasol's chemical and synthetic fuel operations in Secunda and Sasolburg. The gas sold to Aggreko
under a short-term sales agreement, executed in 2012, is for power generation in Mozambique. The Mozambican government is dedicating royalty gas for use in the vicinity of the processing plant in
Temane as well as developing the gas market in Maputo. The gas sold to MGC, ENH and CTRG under long-term sales agreements is to be utilised in Mozambique.

The
natural gas condensate is currently sold locally at the central processing facilities. The buyer transports the condensate to Beira, Mozambique, for export via the port of Beira to
offshore markets.

Gabon assets production:Oil production from Etame Marin Permit operations is sold internationally on the open market. An annual sales
contract is
typically entered into for the sale of the Etame Marin Permit oil based on a competitive bidding process with sales prices linked to international oil prices. The Sale and Purchase Agreements
effective for the 2012 and 2013 calendar year requires all production from the Etame Marin Permit to be delivered to the buyer, Mercuria Trading NV.

Canada assets production:All of the gas produced from the unconventional (shale/tight gas) Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset is sold
by the Talisman
Sasol Montney Partnership into the Western Canada gas market under a long-term marketing agreement with Talisman Energy Canada, which is valid until
2024. Condensate and NGLs are sold under the same marketing agreement. Production from Farrell Creek and Cypress A is currently not sufficient to meet contracted gas transportation obligations. As a
consequence of reduced production in 2013 (caused by the reduced drilling and completion activities, in reaction to the depressed gas price environment in Western Canada), Sasol continues to incur
un-utilised demand charges by only partially utilising its pre-contracted gas transmission capacity in the Spectra and TransCanada/NOVA pipelines. Talisman, as operator, partially mitigated the
potential additional gas transmission commitment exposure through placement of un-utilised gas transmission capacity in the gas transmission market.

A
productive well is a producing well or a well that is mechanically capable of production.Certain
licences overlap as they relate to specific stratigraphic horizons.


Licence terms Mozambique:The Petroleum Production Agreement for the Pande-Temane PPA asset expires in 2034 and carries two possible
five year
extensions. There are no remaining licence obligations and there is no requirement to relinquish any acreage until the expiry of the Petroleum Production Agreement.

Two
development and production areas have been proposed and a period for commercial assessment has been requested for the remainder of the acreage. Approval to develop the discoveries
and retain the associated acreage is dependent on submission of detailed plans to the Mozambican authorities (442,8 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

Sasol
relinquished the deepwater parts of the Exploration and Production Concession for Blocks 16&19 at end of the contract term on 30 June 2013, but has retained the
shallow water area with a view to defining a future work programme when the outcome of the Strategic Environmental Assessment is known. The remaining licence area is 366,3 thousand undeveloped
net acres.

Following
the unsuccessful outcome of the Mupeji-1 exploration well in 2013 post-well analysis confirmed the absence of sufficient remaining potential to warrant entering the third
exploration phase and the Exploration and Production Concession M-10 licence was released at the end of the second period on 30 April 2013.

When
entering the third period in January 2013, 50% of the original Exploration and Production Concession Sofala area was relinquished, resulting in the gross acreage being reduced to
1 208,1 thousand undeveloped net acres.

The
Exploration and Production Concession Area A licence is in the first exploration period which expires in May 2014. The gravity survey commitment has been completed and the seismic
acquisition commitment has commenced. The decision to enter the second exploration period and associated acreage relinquishment is dependent on the seismic interpretation results and on-going study
work (1 862,1 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

Licence terms Gabon:The exploration area of the Etame Marin Permit is in the sixth term which expires 1 July 2014. There was one
well
commitment outstanding as at 30 June 2013, which was drilled in July 2013. The decision to apply for an exploitation permit around commercially declared resources and retain acreage is
dependent on the drilling results and on-going study work. The remaining exploration area will be relinquished on 1 July 2014 unless the area can be renewed for a further term. The current
exploration area potentially affected by relinquishment is 219,3 thousand undeveloped net acres.

The
three exploitation areas of the Etame Marin Permit are covered by three 10-year Exclusive Exploitation Authorisations, each with two five-year extensions available on request and
subject to government decree. The Etame Exclusive Exploitation Authorisation is in the first extension period to July 2016. The Exclusive Exploitation Authorisations for Avouma and Ebouri expire in
March 2015 and June 2016, respectively. The current plan of development is based on granting of the various extensions to July 2021.

Licence terms Canada:As at 30 June 2013, Farrell Creek comprised 30 licences and leases and Cypress A comprised 27 licences and
leases.
Acreage retention and the conversion of licenses (which carry no production rights) to leases (with production rights) is enabled by drilling commitments, the provincial government's prescribed lease
selection and validation process and licence extension applications. Between July 2012 and June 2013, the total number of Farrell Creek licences and leases increased as a consequence of partial lease
conversions from a bigger licence area.

The
decision to retain acreage and convert licences to leases is dependent on the drilling results and on-going study work. Drilling and retention activities have been and will be
included in the applicable work programmes in order that licences and leases that are due to expire before 30 December 2014 are retained (15 licences and leases comprising 26,5 thousand
undeveloped and 11,1 thousand developed net acres).

Licence terms other areas:In Botswana, the first exploration period of the PL134/2010, PL135/2010 and PL136/2010 licences expires at
the end of
September 2013. An application for the first licence renewal, for two years until 1 October 2015, was submitted on 28 June 2013 together with a request for a waiver of the required
relinquishment of up to 50%. Approval of the renewal of the licences is expected in
September 2013; it is also anticipated that the relinquishment waiver will be granted (367,0 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The
operator of exploration licence OPL-214 in Nigeria, ExxonMobil, applied to the Government in April 2012 to convert the licence into a development and production licence. The
exploration licence is still in force until approval is received for the conversion. The licence area covers 33,8 thousand undeveloped net acres. The Nigeria OPL-247 exploration licence was
re-assigned (7,0 thousand undeveloped net acres) in 2013. The Nigeria OML-140 licence for development and production expires in 2029.

In
the Papua New Guinea PPL-285, PPL-286, and PPL-288 licences a prospective area in the north of PPL-285 and PPL-288 was retained (685,9 thousand undeveloped net acres) under a
combined new licence PPL-426, which was awarded in October 2012. The remaining areas of PPL-285 and PPL-288 and all of PPL-286 were relinquished in July 2012. The PPL-287 licence is in its third
exploration period which ends in August 2013 (941,8 thousand undeveloped net acres). In July 2013, Sasol agreed to sell its full remaining interest in PPL-287 and PPL-426 to Talisman; these
sales are subject to government approval.

In
Australia, the ACP-52 licence term ended in May 2013 and an agreement has been reached for the licence to be retained but Sasol will reduce its share from 45% to 30% once all
necessary approvals have been obtained (241,3 thousand undeveloped net acres affected). The WA-388 licence expired in

August
2012 when Sasol exited the licence. The WA-433 licence term ended in May 2013 when the licence was relinquished.

In
South Africa, the Block 3A/4A Exploration Rights/Production Rights licence was relinquished in October 2012. In May 2013, SPI and PetroSA were awarded the area as a Technical
Co-operation Permit for a one year study.

ITEM 5.    OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

This section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in "Item 18Financial
Statements" as at 30 June 2013, 2012 and 2011, and for the years ended 30 June 2013, 2012 and 2011, including the accompanying notes, that are included in this annual report on
Form 20-F. The following discussion of operating results and the financial review and prospects as well as our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Certain
information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below and elsewhere in this annual report includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
See "Item 3.DKey informationRisk factors" for a discussion of significant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or
implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report.

5.A    Operating results

Company and business overview

Sasol is an international integrated energy and chemical company that leverages the talent and expertise of our more than
35 000 people working in 37 countries. We develop and commercialise technologies, and build and operate world-scale facilities, to produce a range of high value product streams, including
liquid fuels, high-value chemicals and low-carbon electricity.

The
group has nine reportable segments that comprise the structure used by the group executive committee (GEC) to make key operating decisions. While the information is presented by
cluster, the underlying business unit information in each of the clusters is still presented to the GEC and board. We have continued to present each of the business units as reporting segments.

While
Sasol Petroleum International (SPI) and Sasol Synfuels International (SSI) do not meet the quantitative criteria for disclosure as a separate segment, they are expected to become
significant contributors to the group's performance in future years as the upstream supplier of resources for the group's GTL activities. Consequently, the GEC has chosen to include SPI and SSI as
reportable operating segments, as we consider this presentation to be appropriate in light of their strategic importance to the group.

We
divide our operations into the following segments:

External factors and conditions

Our business, operating results, cash flow and financial condition are subject to the influence of a number of external factors and
conditions. These include conditions in the markets in which we sell our products, including the fluctuations in the international price of crude oil, effect of fluctuations in the currency markets,
most notably in the exchange rate between the rand and the US dollar, cyclicality in the prices of chemical products, the effect of coal prices on export coal operations and the effects of inflation
on our costs. Other factors which may influence our business and operating results include economic, social, political and regulatory conditions and developments in the
countries in which we operate our facilities or market our products. See "Item 3.DKey informationRisk factors".

Fluctuations in refining margins and crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products prices

Through our participation in the Natref refinery, we are exposed to fluctuations in refinery margins resulting from fluctuations in
international crude oil and petroleum product prices. We are also exposed to changes in absolute levels of international petroleum product prices through our Synfuels' operations. Fluctuations in
international crude oil prices affect our results mainly through their indirect effect on the Basic Fuel Price (BFP) formula. A key factor in the BFP is the Mediterranean and Singapore (for petrol) or
the Arab Gulf (for diesel) spot price. See "Item 4.BBusiness overviewSasol Synfuels", "Sasol Oil" and "Sasol Petroleum International". Furthermore, prices of
petrochemical products and natural gas are also affected by fluctuations in crude oil prices.

Market
prices for crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products fluctuate as they are subject to local and international supply and demand fundamentals and factors over which we have no
control. Worldwide supply conditions and the price levels of crude oil may be significantly influenced by international cartels, which control the production of a significant proportion of the
worldwide supply of crude oil, and by political developments, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.

On 30 September 2013, the price of European Brent crude oil was US$107,85/b.

Significant
changes in the price of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products over a sustained period of time may lead us to alter our production, which could have a material impact
on our turnover. Decreases in the price of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products can have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Other
factors which may influence the aggregate demand and hence affect the markets and prices for products we sell may include changes in economic conditions, the price and availability
of substitute fuels, changes in product inventory, product specifications and other factors. In recent years, prices for petroleum products have fluctuated widely.

We
make use of derivative instruments, including commodity options and futures contracts of short duration from time to time, as a means of mitigating price and timing risks on crude oil
and other energy-related product purchases and sales. While the use of these derivative instruments provides some protection against short-term volatility in crude oil prices, it does not protect
against longer-term trends in crude oil prices.

As
a result of the group's substantial capital investment programme and cash flow requirements, we deemed it necessary to shield the group's income from fluctuations in crude oil prices
by means of appropriate hedging strategies.

In
March 2011, we entered into a zero cost collar for 4,56 million barrels of oil, equivalent to approximately 30% of our planned Sasol Synfuels' production and SPI's West African
output for the final quarter of 2011. In terms of the hedge, the group was protected at crude oil prices below US$85,00/b, and benefited from crude oil prices up to US$172,77/b. As a result of the
volatility in crude oil prices during the period in which the oil hedge was in effect, the settlement of the oil hedges in June 2011 had no cash flow impact for the year ended 30 June 2011 as
the crude oil price remained within the zero cost collar range for the duration of the oil hedge.

Table of Contents

Together
with the group's other risk mitigation initiatives, such as cost containment, cash conservation and capital prioritisation, the group's hedging strategy is considered in
conjunction with these initiatives. The situation is monitored regularly to assess the appropriateness of oil price hedging to improve the stability and predictability of cash flows as part of Sasol's
risk management activities.

In
2012 and 2013, we did not enter into any hedging contracts, as we did not consider there to have been value in the zero cost collars available in the market at that time. This
situation is monitored regularly to assess when a suitable time might be to enter into an appropriate hedge again in the future. Refer to "Item 11.Quantitative and qualitative
disclosure about market risk".

In
2014, for forecasting purposes, we estimate that for every US$1/b increase in the annual average crude oil price, our group operating profit will increase by approximately
R610 million. This estimate is applicable for a US$108/b crude oil price and an average rand/US dollar exchange rate of R9,05. It should be noted that in the current volatile environment, these
sensitivities could be materially different than those disclosed depending on the crude oil price, exchange rates, product prices and volumes.



The rand is the principal functional currency of our operations. However, a large part of our group's turnover is denominated in US
dollars and some part in euros, derived either from exports from South Africa or from our manufacturing and distribution operations outside South Africa. Approximately 90% of our turnover is linked to
the US dollar as petroleum prices in general and the price of most petroleum and chemical products are based on global commodity and benchmark prices which are quoted in US dollars. A significant part
of our capital expenditure is also US dollar denominated, as it is directed to investments outside South Africa or constitutes materials, engineering and construction costs imported into South Africa.

In 2011, the rand strengthened by 8% against the US dollar, with the average rate for the year being R7,01 per US dollar. The further
strengthening of the rand had a negative impact on our operating results in 2011. In 2012, the rand weakened by 11% against the US dollar, with the average rate for the year being R7,78 per US dollar.
In 2013, the rand further weakened by 14% against the

US
dollar, with the average rate for the year being R8,85 per US dollar. The weakening of the rand had a positive impact on our overall operating results in 2013. However, the weakening of the rand
also resulted in increased costs, which primarily impacted our South African operations negatively. The relationship between the euro and US dollar impacts the profitability of our European
operations, where our costs are euro based and a significant portion of our turnover is US dollar based. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the euro weakened against the US dollar which had a positive impact on
our operating results.

Subsequent
to year end, the rand/US dollar exchange rate has weakened further. On 30 September 2013, the rand/US dollar exchange rate was R10,03.

The
average exchange rate for the year has a significant effect on our turnover and our operating profit. In 2014, for forecasting purposes, we estimate that for every R0,10 weakening or
strengthening in the annual average rand/US dollar exchange rate, our operating profit will increase or decrease by approximately R939 million, as applicable. This estimate is applicable for a
US$108/b crude oil price and an average rand/US dollar exchange rate of R9,05. It should be noted that in the current volatile environment, these sensitivities could be materially different than those
disclosed depending on the crude oil price, exchange rates, product prices and volumes.

Although
the exchange rate of the rand is primarily market determined, its value at any time may not be an accurate reflection of the underlying value of the rand, due to the potential
effect of, among
other factors, exchange controls. These regulations also affect our ability to borrow funds from non-South African sources for use in South Africa or to repay these funds from South Africa and, in
some cases, our ability to guarantee the obligations of our subsidiaries with regard to these funds. These restrictions have affected the manner in which we have financed our acquisitions outside
South Africa and the geographic distribution of our debt. See "Item 10Additional information".

We
manage our foreign exchange risks through the selective use of forward exchange contracts and cross currency swaps. We use forward exchange contracts to reduce foreign currency
exposures arising from imports into South Africa. The GEC sets intervention levels to specifically assess large forward cover amounts which have the potential to materially affect Sasol's financial
position. These intervention levels are reviewed from time to time. We apply the following principal policies in order to protect ourselves against the effects (on our South African operations) on the
volatility of the rand against other major currencies as well as an anticipated long-term trend of a devaluing rand:



See
"Item 11Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk".

Cyclicality in petrochemical products prices

The demand for our chemical products is cyclical. Typically, higher demand during peaks in industry cycles leads producers to increase
production capacity, at which point prices decrease. Most commodity chemical prices tend, over the longer term, to track the crude oil price.

On
average, in 2013 we experienced a 1% increase in polymer prices, a 23% increase in ammonia product prices, and a 7% decrease in solvents prices compared to 2012.

Although
peaks in these cycles have been characterised by increased selling prices and higher operating margins, in the past such peaks have led to overcapacity with supply exceeding
demand growth. In times of high crude oil and related product prices (the primary feedstock of most

127

commodity
chemicals), the profit margin shifts towards the feedstock producer, while in times of high chemical prices and lower feedstock prices, the profit margin shifts towards the downstream
activities. Our strategy for our commodity chemicals business, therefore, is wherever possible to invest in the value chain of raw materials to final products. As a result of this approach, the group
has elected not to hedge its exposure to commodity chemical prices as this may, in part, negate the benefits of being backward integrated into its primary feed streams.

Coal prices

Internal coal sales are made to Sasol Synfuels and Sasol Infrachem. Coal sales prices into these internal markets are based on
contracts and are subject to periodic price adjustments. Transfer price negotiations are conducted at arm's length and are market related.

Approximately
5,6% of coal production is sold to external markets (2,5 million tons (Mt) was sold to the export market in 2013 (20122,8 Mt) predominantly in Europe
and Asia and 0,1 Mt was sold to the South African market in 2013 (20120,1 Mt)). External sales to these markets represented approximately 14,87% of the total turnover generated by Sasol
Mining during 2013 (201221,13%).

Export
coal sales prices are compared to the published international coal price indices to track performance. Sasol Mining's policy is to sell at prices partially on an American
Petroleum Standard Index (API) related basis, and partially on a fixed price basis.

Inflation

While over recent years, inflation and interest rates have been at relatively low levels, the economy of South Africa, though currently
well managed, has had high inflation and interest rates compared to the United States and Europe. Should these conditions recur, this would increase our South African-based costs.

High
interest rates could adversely affect our ability to ensure cost-effective debt financing in South Africa. We expect the impact of changes in the inflation rates on our
international operations to be less significant.

Source: Statistics South Africa *During
2013, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) made a number of changes to the calculation of the South African producers' price index (SA PPI). The
changes are in line with international best practice and introduced five separate categories of PPI, effective January 2013. The category for final manufactured goods, which includes petroleum
products, is the index most appropriate for Sasol. We intend to refine this calculation to take into account the unique features of our business. Accordingly, the PPI rate for 2013 is not comparable
to that of 2012 and Stats SA will not be publishing comparable historical data. The indicative average PPI was 6,0% for 2013 (20128,6% as previously reported) and the average South
African consumers' price index (SA CPI) was 5,5% for 2013 (20125,9%).

Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment transactions

Sasol Mining Ixia BEE transaction

On 11 October 2007, Sasol Mining announced the implementation of its black economic empowerment strategy for compliance with the
Mining Charter and the MPRDA. In a transaction valued at approximately R1,8 billion, a black-women controlled mining company called Ixia Coal (Pty) Ltd, through a funding company (Ixia
Coal Funding (Pty) Ltd), subscribed for a 20% share in Sasol Mining for a purchase consideration of R1,8 billion. The black-women members of Ixia Coal, through WipCoal (Pty) Ltd
(WipCoal), and Sasol Mining Holdings (Pty) Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sasol Limited, contributed, in cash, equity of R47 million, in their respective shareholdings of 51% and 49%.
The balance of the contribution was funded through preference share debt, including preference shares subscribed for by Sasol, issued by the funding company. Over time, the preference shares will be
redeemed with the proceeds of dividends distributed by Sasol Mining.

The
implementation of the transaction was conditional upon,inter alia, the conversion of the old order mining rights to new order rights
and the South African Competition Commission approval. The conversion of the rights was approved by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR). The converted mining rights were signed and notarially
executed on 29 March 2010. The converted mining rights for the Secunda Complex have been granted for a period of 10 years. Sasol Mining has the exclusive right to apply and be granted
renewal of the converted mining rights for an additional period not exceeding 30 years. The Mooikraal complex converted mining right has been granted for the maximum allowable period of
30 years. The Competition Tribunal of South Africa approved the Ixia Coal transaction on 1 September 2010. The effective date of the Ixia Coal transaction was 29 September 2010,
when the remaining conditions precedent were met.

The
parties are entitled to receive dividends on their shareholding in Sasol Mining in proportion to their effective interest in Sasol Mining's issued share capital, subject to the
financing requirements of
the preference share debt. As a result of the transaction, WipCoal now owns 10,2% of the equity in Sasol Mining.

The
Ixia Coal transaction increased Sasol Mining's BEE ownership component to 20%. In May 2012, the Department of Mineral Resources confirmed that the Sasol Inzalo employee share option
programme contributes 26% to the BEE ownership of Sasol Mining, based on the value of Sasol Mining's historically disadvantaged South African employees participating in the Sasol Inzalo share
transaction. The combined BEE ownership in Sasol Mining is now in excess of 40%.

Preference shares

The preference share funding comprises A preference shares, which are held by an external financier and B preference shares, which are
held by Sasol. The A preference shares are secured by the preference shares held by Sasol Mining Holdings (Pty) Ltd. In certain limited default circumstances, which include Ixia Coal being in
default on the repayment of the preference shares, the external financier may require Sasol to purchase some or all of the outstanding preference shares under a call option (the preference share call
option) or, alternatively, to subscribe for new preference shares issued by Ixia Coal Funding to enable Ixia Coal to redeem the preference shares held by the external financier. The B preference
shares are not redeemable until the A preference shares have been fully redeemed.

The
preference shares are accounted for in the statement of financial position as debt and should the preference share call option be exercised, Sasol will be required to raise the
necessary funding in

130

order
to either exercise the preference share call option or, alternatively, honour the call under the preference share call option.

Accounting for transaction

The transaction was accounted for as follows:



Based
on the weighted average number of shares issued at 30 June 2011, the share-based payment expense for 2011, resulted in a decrease in Sasol Limited's earnings per share of
R0,94. The transaction
did not result in a similar share-based payment expense for 2012 or 2013 and did not have an impact on earnings per share in 2012 and 2013.

Sasol and Tshwarisano BEE transaction

We entered into a R1,45 billion transaction with our BEE partner Tshwarisano LFB Investment (Pty) Ltd (Tshwarisano).
Tshwarisano acquired a 25% shareholding in Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd from Sasol Limited with effect from 1 July 2006. The financing of the transaction has been provided in part through the
issue of preference shares by Tshwarisano to Standard Bank South Africa Limited (Standard Bank), and in part by application of the subscription proceeds from the issue of the ordinary shares to
Tshwarisano ordinary shareholders. The Tshwarisano ordinary shareholders in turn raised the funding to subscribe for the ordinary shares through the issue of preference shares to Standard Bank. Over
time, Tshwarisano and its ordinary shareholders will redeem their respective preference shares with the proceeds of dividends distributed by Sasol Oil. As part of this arrangement, Sasol Oil has
amended its dividend policy such that it is required to pay out up to a maximum of one time earnings for that financial year by way of dividends. The actual dividend paid shall be the maximum possible
amount, taking into account certain specified ratios relating to net debt to shareholders' equity and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to net interest. The dividend paid
may not be less than one-third of earnings.

In
certain limited default circumstances, which include Tshwarisano being in default on the repayment of the preference shares, Standard Bank may require that a trust (consolidated by
Sasol Limited) be established in the context of the transaction to acquire the preference shares held by Standard Bank or, alternatively, to subscribe for new preference shares issued by Tshwarisano
to enable

Tshwarisano
to redeem the preference shares held by Standard Bank. In addition and in the same limited default circumstances, the trust may acquire the ordinary shares held by its ordinary
shareholders. As a result, the trust may own all or a portion of the outstanding securities issued by Tshwarisano. This would enable the trust to place these securities in another transaction in
compliance with the Liquids Fuel Charter. Neither Tshwarisano nor its ordinary shareholders would owe any amounts to this trust or any other person. We have guaranteed the trust's obligation to make
payment in these circumstances. This guarantee was valued at R39 million at the time of the transaction.

Sasol Inzalo share transaction

During May 2008, the shareholders approved the Sasol Inzalo share transaction, a broad-based BEE transaction, which resulted in the
transfer of beneficial ownership of 10% (63,1 million shares) of Sasol Limited's issued share capital before the implementation of this transaction to its employees and a wide spread of black
South Africans (BEE participants). The transaction was introduced to assist Sasol, as a major participant in the South African economy, in meeting its empowerment objectives. This transaction will
provide long-term sustainable benefits to all participants and has a tenure of 10 years from the inception of the scheme. The following BEE participants acquired indirect or direct ownership in
Sasol's issued share capital at the time as follows:



The
Employee Trusts and the Sasol Inzalo Foundation were funded entirely through Sasol facilitation whilst the selected participants and the black public participating, through the
funded invitation, were funded by way of equity contributions and preference share funding (including preference shares subscribed for by Sasol). The black public participating through the cash
invitation were financed entirely by the participants from their own resources.

The
effective date of the transaction for the Employee Trusts and the Sasol Inzalo Foundation was 3 June 2008. The effective date of the transaction for the selected participants
was 27 June 2008. The effective date for the black public invitations was 8 September 2008.

The Sasol Inzalo Employee Trust and The Sasol Inzalo Management Trust

On 3 June 2008, staff members that were South African residents or who were migrant workers that did not participate in the
Sasol Share Incentive Scheme and the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme, participated in The Sasol Inzalo Employee Trust (Employee Scheme), while all senior black management that are South African
residents participated in The Sasol Inzalo Management Trust (Management Scheme). The share rights, which entitled the employees from the inception of the scheme to receive ordinary shares at the end
of the ten years, vest according to the unconditional entitlement as follows:



132

---



Table of Contents

Participants
in the Employee Scheme were granted share rights to receive 850 Sasol ordinary shares. The allocation of the shares in the Management Scheme was based on seniority and range
from 5 000 to 25 000. 12% of the allocated shares were set aside for new employees appointed during the first five years of the transaction. On resignation, within the first
three years from the inception of the transaction, share rights granted were forfeited. For each year thereafter, 10% of such share rights will
be forfeited for each year or part thereof remaining until the end of the transaction period. On retirement, death or retrenchment the rights will remain with the participant.

The
Sasol ordinary shares which were issued to the Employee Trusts, were funded by contributions from Sasol, which collectively subscribed for 25,2 million Sasol ordinary shares
at an issue price of R366,00 per share, with a nominal value of R0,01 per share subject to the following pre-conditions:



Participants
have the right to all ordinary dividends received by the Employee Trusts for the duration of the transaction.

After
Sasol has exercised its repurchase right and subject to any forfeiture of share rights, each participant will receive a number of Sasol ordinary shares in relation to their
respective share rights. Any shares remaining in the Employee Trusts after the distribution to participants may be distributed to the Sasol Inzalo Foundation.

The Sasol Inzalo Foundation

On 3 June 2008, The Sasol Inzalo Foundation (the Foundation), which is incorporated as a trust and is being registered as a
public benefit organisation, subscribed for 9,5 million Sasol ordinary shares at an issue price of R366,00 per share, with a nominal value of R0,01 per share. The primary focus of the
Foundation is skills development and capacity building of black South Africans, predominantly in the fields of mathematics, science and technology.

The
conditions of subscription for Sasol ordinary shares by the Foundation includes the right to receive dividends in the amount of 5% of the ordinary dividends declared in respect of
Sasol ordinary shares held by the Foundation. During October 2012, the group executive committee approved the increase in
the dividend to 50% for the 2013 financial year end. Sasol is entitled to repurchase a number of Sasol ordinary shares from the Foundation at a nominal value of R0,01 per share at the end of
10 years in accordance with a predetermined formula. After Sasol has exercised its repurchase right, the Foundation will in future receive 100% of dividends declared on the Sasol ordinary
shares owned by the Foundation.

Selected participants

On 27 June 2008, selected BEE groups (selected participants) which included Sasol customers, Sasol suppliers, Sasol franchisees,
women's groups, trade unions and other professional associations, through a funding company, subscribed for 9,5 million Sasol preferred ordinary shares at an issue price of R366,00 per share.
The shares, which were not allocated to selected participants, have been subscribed for by a facilitation trust, which is funded by Sasol. As at 30 June 2013, 1,1 million
(20121,1 million) Sasol preferred ordinary shares were issued to the facilitation trust. The selected participants contributed equity of between 5% and 10% of the value of their
underlying Sasol preferred ordinary shares allocation, with the balance of the contribution being funded through preference share debt, including preference shares subscribed for by Sasol, issued by
the funding company.

133

Table of Contents

The selected participants are entitled to receive a dividend of up to 5% of the dividend declared on the Sasol preferred ordinary shares in proportion to their
effective interest in Sasol's issued share capital, from the commencement of the fourth year of the transaction term of 10 years, subject to the financing requirements of the preference share
debt.

At
the end of the transaction term, the Sasol preferred ordinary shares will automatically be Sasol ordinary shares and will then be listed on the JSE Limited. The Sasol ordinary shares
remaining in the funding company after redeeming the preference share debt and paying costs may then be distributed to the selected participants in proportion to their shareholding. The funding
company, from inception, has full voting and economic rights with regard to its shareholding in Sasol.

Black public invitations

Funded invitation

The members of the black public participating in the funded invitation, through a funding company, subscribed for 16,1 million
Sasol preferred ordinary shares. The black public contributed equity between 5% and 10% of their underlying Sasol preferred ordinary shares allocation, with the balance of the contribution being
funded through preference share debt, including preference shares subscribed for by Sasol, issued by the funding company. As at 30 June 2013, 56 090
(201256 250) Sasol preferred ordinary shares, which were not subscribed for by the black public, were issued to the facilitation trust, which is funded by Sasol.

Participants
in the funded invitation were not allowed to dispose of their shares for the first three years after inception. For the remainder of the transaction term of 10 years,
trading in the shares is allowed with other black people or black groups through an over-the-counter trading mechanism. Participants in the funded invitation may not encumber the shares held by them
before the end of the transaction term.

Members
of the black public are entitled to receive a dividend of up to 5% of the dividend on the Sasol preferred ordinary shares in proportion to their effective interest in Sasol, from
the commencement of the fourth year of the transaction term of ten years, subject to the financing requirements of the preference share debt.

With
effect from 1 April 2012, the Sasol preferred ordinary share dividend has been increased by 10% in accordance with contractual obligations. The revised dividend is as follows
for the remaining years:



At
the end of the transaction term, the Sasol preferred ordinary shares will automatically be Sasol ordinary shares and will then be listed on the JSE Limited. The Sasol ordinary shares
remaining in the funding company after redeeming the preference share debt and paying costs may then be distributed
to the black public in proportion to their shareholding. The funding company will have, from inception, full voting and economic rights with regard to its interest in Sasol's issued share capital.

Cash invitation

The cash invitation allowed members of the black public to invest directly in 2,8 million Sasol BEE ordinary shares. The Sasol
BEE ordinary shares could not be traded for the first two years of the transaction term of 10 years and, for the remainder of the transaction term, can only be traded between black people and
black groups. Participants in the cash invitation are entitled to encumber their Sasol BEE ordinary shares, provided that these shares continue to be owned by members of the black public for the
duration of the transaction term. In February 2011, Sasol Limited listed the Sasol

BEE
ordinary shares on the BEE segment of the JSE Limited's main board. This trading facility provides Sasol Inzalo shareholders access to a regulated market in line with Sasol's commitment to
broad-based shareholder development. At the end of the transaction term, the Sasol BEE ordinary shares will automatically be Sasol ordinary shares. At 30 June 2013, 17 475
(201217 440) BEE ordinary shares, which were not subscribed for by the black public, were issued to the facilitation trust, which is funded by Sasol.

Preference shares

The preference share funding comprises A, B and guaranteed C preference shares which are funded by external financiers and D preference
shares funded by Sasol. The funding companies are required to maintain, inter alia, minimum share cover ratios in respect of the A and B preference shares, being the ratio between the value of the
Sasol preferred ordinary shares and the amount required to redeem the preference shares. The maintenance of the ratio is dependent upon the Sasol ordinary share price and the dividends paid by Sasol
on the Sasol preferred ordinary shares. Sasol has call options to purchase some or all of the outstanding A, B and C preference shares. Currently, the minimum share cover ratio will be breached when
for the A preference shares, the Sasol ordinary share price falls below approximately R155 per share and R160 per share in respect of the black public and selected participants, respectively. The
minimum share cover ratio will be breached when for the B preference shares, the Sasol ordinary share price falls below approximately R192 per share and R174 per share in respect of the black
public and selected
participants, respectively. The Sasol ordinary share price at 30 June 2013 was R431,54 per share. The share cover ratios decrease over time with the maturation of the preference shares. In
addition, a further condition to the guaranteed C preference shares is that the Sasol group must maintain a net debt to earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) cover
ratio equal to or less than 2,5 times. Our current net debt to EBITDA ratio is 0,0 times at 30 June 2013.

The
preference shares are accounted for in the statement of financial position as debt and should the preference share covenants described above be breached, Sasol will be required to
raise the necessary funding in order to either exercise the call option or, alternatively, honour the call under the guarantee.

Accounting for the transaction

At 30 June 2013, the transaction has been accounted for as follows:



135

Table of Contents

Based
on the weighted average number of shares issued at 30 June 2013, the share-based payment expense for 2013 decreased the earnings per share by R0,62.

The
total share-based payment expense relating to the Employee Trusts expected to be recognised in the 2014 financial year is estimated to be R721 million.

Competition from products originating from countries with low production costs

Certain of our chemical production facilities are located in developed countries, including the United States and various European
countries. Economic and political conditions in these countries result in relatively high labour costs and, in some regions, inflexible labour markets, compared to other countries. Increasing
competition from regions with lower labour costs, feedstock prices and more flexible labour markets, for example the Middle East and China, exerts pressure on the competitiveness of our chemical
products and, therefore, on our profit margins and may result in the withdrawal of particular products or closure of facilities.

Engineering contract costs

We have a significant capital portfolio and are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the price and supply of engineering, procurement
and construction services, in particular the availability of scarce technical skills and capacity. We are currently not expecting the abnormal inflationary pressures of the pre-recession period, but
rather low to moderate increases as gradual economic recovery sets in. Significant fluctuations and volatility are, however, currently being observed.

Scarce
technical skills remain a key factor, to a varying degree in different geographical areas. Cost increases will depend on the region and market dynamics, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Significant accounting policies and estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
results of its operations. Some of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgements and estimates by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating
financial estimates. By their nature, these judgements are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, management's view on
trends in the industries in which we operate and information from outside sources and experts. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Our
significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Refer "Item 18Financial statements". This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in "Item 18Financial statements".

Management
believes that the more significant judgements and estimates relating to the accounting policies used in the preparation of Sasol's consolidated financial statements could
potentially impact the reporting of our financial results and future financial performance.

We
evaluate our estimates, including those relating to environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning obligations, long-lived assets, trade receivables, inventories, investments,
intangible assets, income taxes, share-based payment expenses, pension and other post-retirement benefits and contingencies and litigation on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making our judgements about carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily available from other sources.

Share options and other share-based payments

The Sasol Share Incentive Scheme

In 1988, the shareholders approved the adoption of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme. The scheme was introduced to provide an incentive
for senior employees (including executive directors) of the group who participate in management and also non-executive directors from time to time. Awards are no longer granted to non-executive
directors. Following the introduction of the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme in 2007, no further options have been granted in terms of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme. The share-based payment
expense recognised in the current year relates to options granted in previous years and is calculated based on the assumptions applicable to the year in which the options were granted.

We
recognised a share-based payment expense for the years indicated:

The Sasol Inzalo share transaction

During May 2008, our shareholders approved our broad-based BEE transaction valued then at approximately R24 billion (at R380 per
share), which resulted in the transfer of beneficial ownership of 10% (63,1 million shares) of Sasol Limited's issued share capital, before the implementation of this transaction, to our
employees and a wide spread of black South Africans (BEE participants). See "Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment transactionsSasol Inzalo share transaction".

The share-based payment expense was calculated using an option pricing model reflective of the underlying characteristics of the transaction. The
assumptions used in the option pricing model are described in Note 45.2 to "Item 18Financial statements" and include, amongst others, the risk-free rate, exercise price,
expected volatility, expected dividend yield and vesting period.

The
valuation of share-based payment expenses requires a significant degree of judgement to be applied by management.

The Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme

During March 2007, the group introduced the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme. This scheme replaced the Sasol Share Incentive
Scheme. The objectives of the scheme remain similar to that of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme. The Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme allows certain senior employees to earn a long-term
incentive amount calculated with reference to the increase in the Sasol Limited ordinary share price between the offer date of share appreciation rights and the vesting and exercise of such rights.

Table of Contents

With
effect from September 2009, certain qualifying senior management, receive share appreciation rights that carry corporate performance targets. These qualifying employees retain the
share appreciation rights with no corporate performance targets that have been previously granted to them.

Previously
in terms of the long-term incentive scheme, the number of share options and share rights available to eligible group employees through the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme, Sasol
Share Appreciation Rights Scheme and the Sasol Medium-term Incentive Scheme shall not at any time exceed 80 million shares/rights. Following the introduction of the Sasol Share Appreciation
Rights Scheme in March 2007, no further options have been issued in terms of the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme.

In
June 2012, the Sasol Limited board approved that the maximum number of rights to be issued under the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme and the Sasol Medium-term Incentive Scheme
(including unvested share options issued under the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme) be 69 million shares/rights, representing 10% of Sasol Limited's issued share capital immediately after the
Sasol Inzalo share transaction.

Share Appreciation Rights with no corporate performance targets

The Share Appreciation Rights Scheme with no corporate performance targets allows certain senior employees to earn a long-term
incentive amount calculated with reference
to the increase in the Sasol Limited ordinary share price between the offer date of share appreciation rights and the vesting and exercise of such rights.

No
shares are issued in terms of this scheme and all amounts payable in terms of the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme will be settled in cash.

Rights
are granted for a period of nine years and vest as follows:



The
offer price of these appreciation rights equals the closing market price of the underlying shares on the trading day immediately preceding the granting of the right. The fair value
of these rights is determined at each reporting date and the unrecognised cost amortised to the income statement over the period that the employees provide services to the company.

valuation of share-based payment expenses requires a significant degree of judgement to be applied by management.

Share Appreciation Rights with corporate performance targets

During September 2009, the group introduced corporate performance targets as an additional vesting criteria for share appreciation
rights. The corporate performance targets are linked to the total shareholders' return relative to the JSE Resources 10 index and the MSCI energy index, Sasol earnings growth and Sasol production
volumes/employee growth. The corporate performance targets determine how many rights will vest. Qualifying employees retain the share appreciation rights with no corporate performance targets that
have been previously granted to them.

No
shares are issued in terms of this scheme and all amounts payable in terms of the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights Scheme will be settled in cash.

The
vesting period of these rights are the same as the share appreciation rights with no corporate performance targets.

During
September 2012, the group introduced share appreciation rights with new corporate performance targets. The rights are granted for a period of nine years and vest as
follows:



The
offer price of these appreciation rights equals the closing market price of the Sasol Limited ordinary shares on the trading day immediately preceding the granting of the right. The
fair value of these rights is determined at each reporting date and the unrecognised cost amortised to the income statement over the period that the employees provide services to the company.

The Sasol Medium-term Incentive Scheme

During September 2009, the group introduced the Sasol Medium-term Incentive Scheme (MTI). The objective of the Sasol Medium-term
Incentive Scheme is to provide qualifying employees who participate in the Share Appreciation Rights Scheme the opportunity of receiving incentive payments based on the value of ordinary shares in
Sasol Limited. Refer to Note 45 to "Item 18Financial statements" for further details on this share-incentive scheme.

Rights
are granted for a period of three years and vest at the end of the third year. The MTIs are encashed at the end of the third year subject to the achievement of targets. The MTI
carries no issue price. The fair value of these rights is determined at each reporting date and the unrecognised cost is amortised to the income statement over the period that the employees provide
services to the company.

Estimation of natural oil and gas reserves

In accordance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, proved oil and gas reserves, are those
quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be recoverable commercially and be economically
produciblefrom a given date forward, from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulationsprior to the time at which
contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
The project to extract hydrocarbons must be approved and must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. Existing economic
conditions define prices and costs at which economic producibility is to be determined. The price is the average sales price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered
by the report, determined as an un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Future
price changes are limited to those provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end.

140

---



Table of Contents

Our
reported natural oil and gas reserves are estimated quantities based on SEC reporting regulations. Additionally, we require that the estimated quantities of oil and gas and related
substances will be produced by a project sanctioned by all internal and external parties to the extent necessary for the project to enter the execution phase and sufficient to allow the resultant
products to be brought to market.

See
"Item 4.D Information on the companyProperty, plants and
equipmentOil and gas production and exploration operationsReserve disclosure".

There
are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and in projecting future rates of production, including factors which are beyond our control. The accuracy
of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgement. Estimates of oil and gas reserves therefore are subject to future
revision, upward or downward, resulting from new data and current interpretation, as well as a result of improved recovery, extensions and discoveries, the purchase or sale of assets, commercial
arrangements, operational factors and production. Accordingly, financial and accounting measures (such as the standardised measure of future discounted cash flows, depreciation and amortisation
charges and environmental and decommissioning obligations) that are based on proved reserves are also subject to revision and change.

Refer
to "Table 5Standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows", on page G-7 for our standardised
discounted future net cash flow information in respect of proved reserves for the year ended 30 June 2013 and to
"Table 6Changes in the standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows", on page G-9.

Depreciation of coal mining assets

We calculate depreciation charges on coal mining assets using the units-of-production method, which is based on our proved and probable
reserves. Proved and probable reserves used for the depreciation of life-of-mine assets are the total proved and probable reserves assigned to that specific mine (accessible reserves) or complex which
benefit from the utilisation of those assets. Inaccessible reserves are excluded from the calculation. A unit is considered to be produced once it has been removed from underground and taken to the
surface, passed the bunker and been transported by conveyor over the scale at the shaft head. The lives of the mines are estimated by our geology department using interpretations of mineral reserves,
as determined in accordance with Industry Guide 7 under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The estimate of the total reserves of our mines could be materially different from the actual coal
mined. The actual usage by the mines may be impacted by changes in the factors used in determining the economic value of our mineral reserves, such as the coal price and foreign currency exchange
rates. Any change in management's estimate of the total expected future lives of the mines would impact the depreciation charge recorded in our consolidated financial statements, as well as our
estimated environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning obligations. See "Item 4.DInformation on the companyProperty, plants and equipment".

Useful lives of long-lived assets

Given the significance of long-lived assets to our financial statements, any change in the depreciation period could have a material
impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

In
assessing the useful life of long-lived assets, we use estimates of future cash flows and expectations regarding the future utilisation pattern of the assets to determine the
depreciation to be charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or units-of-production method where appropriate. Annually, we review the useful lives and economic
capacity of the long-lived assets with reference to any events or circumstances that may indicate that an adjustment to the

141

---



Table of Contents

depreciation
period is necessary. The assessment of the useful lives takes the following factors into account:



There
were no significant changes to the useful lives of our long-lived assets (other than oil and gas and coal mining assets as discussed above) during 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed using economic valuations to calculate impairment losses whenever events or a change in circumstance
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In carrying out the economic valuations, an assessment is made of the future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, taking into
account current market conditions, the expected lives of the assets and our latest budgets. The actual outcome can vary significantly from our forecasts, thereby affecting our assessment of future
cash flows. Assets whose carrying values exceed their estimated recoverable amount, determined on a discounted basis, are written down to an amount determined using discounted net future cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. The expected future cash flows are discounted based on Sasol's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) which, at 30 June 2013 and 2012, was:

Discount
rates for all other countries are based on their specific risk rate. Refer to the discussions included below under the Segment overview for the financial impact of the
impairment assessments performed during the current year.

Management
has considered the sensitivity of the values in use to various key assumptions such as crude oil and gas prices, commodity prices and exchange rates. These sensitivities have
been taken into consideration in determining the required impairments and reversals of impairments. With regard to the impairment recognised in respect of the Sasol Wax SA cash generating unit,
the value in use is particularly sensitive to changes in the exchange rate. A further weakening of exchange rates would significantly affect the calculated value in use. Refer to Note 41 to
"Item 18Financial statements" for the table that includes the assumptions used for impairment testing.

Environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning obligations

We have significant obligations to remove plant and equipment, rehabilitate land in areas in which we conduct operations upon
termination of such operations and incur expenditure relating to environmental contamination treatment and cleanup. Environmental rehabilitation and

142

---



Table of Contents

decommissioning
obligations are primarily associated with our mining, oil and gas and petrochemical operations around the world.

Accruals
for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Expenditure related to
environmental contamination treatment and cleanup incurred during the production of inventory in normal operations is expensed. The estimated fair value of dismantling and removing facilities is
accrued for as the obligation arises, if estimable, concurrent with the recognition of an increase in the related asset's carrying value. Estimating the future asset removal expenditure is complex and
requires management to make estimates and judgements because most of the removal obligations will be fulfilled in the future and contracts and regulations often have vague descriptions of what
constitutes removal. Future asset removal costs are also influenced by changing removal technologies, political, environmental, safety, business relations and statutory considerations.

The
group's environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning obligations accrued at 30 June 2013 were R9 884 million compared to
R8 911 million in 2012.

It
is envisaged that, based on the current information available, any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided will not have a material adverse effect on the group's
financial position, liquidity or cash flow.

The
following risk-free rates were used to discount the estimated cash flows based on the underlying currency and time duration of the obligation:

An increase in the discount rate by one percentage point would result in a decrease in the long-term obligations recognised of approximately
R1 492 million and a decrease of one percentage point would result in an increase in the long-term obligations recognised of approximately R1 789 million.

Employee benefits

We provide for our obligations and expenses for pension and provident funds as they apply to both defined contribution and defined
benefit schemes, as well as post-retirement healthcare benefits. The amount provided is determined based on a number of assumptions and in consultation with an independent actuary. These assumptions
are described in Note 20 to "Item 18Financial statements" and include, among others, the discount rate, healthcare cost inflation and rates of increase in compensation
costs. The nature of the assumptions is inherently long-term, and future experience may differ from these estimates. For example, a one percentage point increase in assumed healthcare cost trend rates
would increase the accumulated healthcare post-retirement benefit obligation by approximately R723 million to R4 650 million.

The
group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is actuarially calculated separately for each plan by deducting the fair value of plan assets from the gross
obligation for post-retirement benefits. The gross obligation is determined by estimating the future benefit attributable to employees in return for services rendered to date.

The
group provides post-retirement healthcare benefits to certain of its retirees. The entitlement to these benefits is usually based on the employee remaining in service up to
retirement age and the

143

---



Table of Contents

completion
of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued on a systematic basis over the expected remaining period of employment, using the accounting methodology
described in respect of defined benefit pension plans above.

While
management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant changes in the assumptions may materially affect our pension and other post-retirement obligations and
future expense.

In
terms of the Pension Funds Second Amendment Act 2001, the Sasol Pension Fund in South Africa undertook a surplus apportionment exercise as at December 2002. The surplus apportionment
exercise, and the 31 December 2002 statutory valuation of the fund, was approved by the Financial Services Board on 26 September 2006. Payments of benefits to former members in terms of
the surplus apportionment scheme have been substantially completed and an amount of R104 million has been set aside for members that have not claimed their benefits. Based on the rules of the
fund, the latest actuarial valuation of the fund and the approval of the trustees of the surplus allocation, the company has an unconditional entitlement to only the funds in the employer surplus
account and the contribution reserve. The estimated surplus due to the company amounted to approximately R407 million as at 31 March 2013 and has been included in the pension asset
recognised in the current year.

Fair value estimations of financial instruments

We base fair values of financial instruments on quoted market prices of identical instruments, where available. If quoted market prices
are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including dealers' price quotations and price quotations for similar instruments traded in different markets. Fair value
for certain derivatives is based on pricing models that consider current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments or commodities, as well as the time value and yield
curve or fluctuation factors underlying the positions. Pricing models and their underlying assumptions impact the amount and timing of unrealised gains and losses recognised, and the use of different
pricing models or assumptions could produce different financial results. See "Item 11Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk".

Deferred tax

We apply significant judgement in determining our provision for income taxes and our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Temporary
differences arise between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. These temporary differences result in tax liabilities being
recognised and deferred tax assets being considered based on the probability of our deferred tax assets being recoverable from future taxable income. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be realised. We provide deferred tax using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the
reporting date on all temporary differences arising between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes unless there is a temporary
difference that is specifically excluded in accordance with IFRS. The carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in
applicable tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions.

Commitments and contingencies

Management's current estimated range of liabilities relating to certain pending liabilities for claims, litigation, competition
matters, tax matters and environmental remediation is based on management's judgement and estimates of the amount of loss. The actual costs may vary significantly from estimates for a variety of
reasons. A liability is recognised for these types of contingencies if management

144

---



Table of Contents

determines
that the loss is both probable and estimable. We have recorded the estimated liability where such amount can be determined. As additional information becomes available, we will assess the
potential liability related to our pending litigation proceedings and revise our estimates. Such revisions in our estimates of the potential liability could materially impact our results of operation
and financial position. See "Item 4.BBusiness overviewLegal proceeding and other contingencies" and "Item 5.EOff-balance sheet arrangements".

OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The financial results for the years ended 30 June 2013, 2012 and 2011 below are stated in accordance with IFRS as issued by the
IASB.

With
effect from 1 July 2012, the group changed the presentation of its income statement from a classification based on function to a classification based on nature. Sasol has
elected to change its income statement presentation to better reflect how it effectively manages its business as well as align to peers. The comparative periods presented has been restated to comply
with the income statement classification by nature. The change in the income statement presentation did not have an impact on turnover, operating profit or earnings per share.

Overview

Turnover increased by 7%, operating profit after remeasurement items by 11% and earnings attributable to shareholders by 11% in 2013
compared to 2012. The higher operating profit resulted mainly from improved operational performance and a 14% weaker average rand/US dollar exchange rate (R8,85/US$ at 30 June 2013 compared
with R7,78/US$ at 30 June 2012), despite a 3% lower average Brent crude oil price (average dated Brent was US$108,66/barrel at 30 June 2013 compared with US$112,42/barrel at
30 June 2012). Overall, the group benefited from improved production performance, with Sasol Synfuels's production volumes increasing by 4% compared to the prior year.

145

---



Table of Contents

Stable
operations as well as the performance of the plant during the phased shutdown resulted in the improved production volumes.

In
addition, operating profit in 2013 was negatively impacted by net once-off charges totalling R8 508 million (30 June
2012R2 121 million). These items relate primarily to the partial impairments of our Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC) investment (R3 611 million),
the FischerTropsch (FT) wax expansion project (R2 033 million) and of our Solvents Germany business (R242 million), as well the write off of the Mupeji-1 dry
well in Mozambique amounting to R442 million. In addition, included in the once-off charges is an amount of R2 021 million
related to the translation losses, primarily at our ASPC operations, resulting from the depreciation of the Iranian Rial against the US dollar. These once-off items also include a gain relating to the
remeasurement to fair value of our existing shareholding in the Merisol business of R233 million, which arose from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of Merisol. Operating profit further
includes a gain on the valuation of the open Canadian foreign exchange contracts amounting to R439 million.

The
operating profit in 2012 includes the partial impairment of our Canadian shale gas asset and impairment of Blocks 16&19 in Mozambique of R964 million and R434 million,
respectively, and the write off of unsuccessful exploration wells in Australia amounting to R274 million, offset by the profit of R124 million on the sale of our Sasol Nitro Phalaborwa
operations and certain of the downstream fertiliser businesses and the profit realised on the disposal of the Witten plant in Germany of R285 million.

Further,
the share-based payment expenses relating to the Sasol incentive schemes increased to R1 666 million in 2013 from R221 million in 2012 mainly due to
the increase in the Sasol share price performance and additional grants made during the year.

Sasol
Synfuels' delivered production volumes for the year of 7,443 million tons (Mt), which was 4% higher than the prior year. We continued to focus on production utilisation,
especially in our European chemical businesses, to match lower demand and optimise margins in light of the continuing weak European market conditions.

Materials, energy and consumables used.Materials, energy and consumables used in 2013 amounted to R77 538 million, a
decrease of
R2 872 million, or 4%, compared with R80 410 million in 2012, which increased by 22% from R66 127 million in 2011. The decrease in 2013
compared with 2012 was mainly due to a decrease in feedstock prices resulting from lower average crude oil prices and lower external purchases by Sasol Oil as result of lower production volumes at
Natref resulting from an extended planned maintenance shutdown. The increase in 2012 compared with 2011 was mainly due to the increase in feedstock prices resulting from higher average crude oil
prices. Compared to turnover from the sale of products, materials, energy and consumables used was 43% in 2013, 47% in 2012 and 46% in 2011.

Selling and distribution costs.These costs comprise marketing and distribution of products, freight and customs and excise duty after
the point of
sale. Selling and distribution costs in 2013 amounted to R5 371 million, which represents an increase of R750 million, or 16%, compared with
R4 621 million in 2012, which increased by R313 million compared with R4 308 million in 2011. The variation in these costs was mainly attributable to
weaker rand levels against major currencies which affected the foreign
operations during 2013. Compared to sales of products, selling and distribution costs represented 3% in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Maintenance expenditure.Maintenance expenditure in 2013 amounted to R7 544 million, which represents an increase of
R123 million, or 2%, compared with R7 421 million in 2012, which increased by R611 million compared with R6 810 million in 2011.

Employee related expenditure.Employee related expenditure amounted to R 23 476 million, which represents an increase of
R4 011 million, or 21%, compared with R19 465 million in 2012, which increased by R1 332 million, or 7%, from 2011. This amount includes
labour costs of R21 438 million (201218 774 million and 2011R16 627 million) and share-based payment expenses of
R2 038 million (2012R691 million and 2011R1 506 million). The increase in labour costs in 2013 is mainly due to the average
annual inflationary increases of approximately 7%, increased share-based payment expenses related to the performance of the Sasol ordinary share price of 7%, an increase in employee numbers growth of
4%, as well as the effects of exchange rates of 4%. Labour costs increased in 2012 mainly due to inflation and increased costs associated with the establishing and advancing of various growth
initiatives at SPI and SSI, including costs for a full 12 months relating to our Canadian shale gas operations.

Exploration expenditure and feasibility costs.Exploration expenditure and feasibility costs in 2013 amounted to
R1 354 million,
which represents an increase of R309 million, or 30%, compared with R1 045 million in 2012, which increased by R165 million compared with R880 million in 2011.
The increase in exploration and feasibility costs in 2013 and 2012 is mainly due to increased costs associated with the establishing and advancing of various growth initiatives at SPI and SSI.

Depreciation and amortisation.Depreciation and amortisation in 2013 amounted
to                        R12 030 million, which
represents an increase of R2 379 million, or 25%, compared with                        R9 651 million in 2012,
which increased by R2 251 million
compared with R7 400 million in 2011. The increase in depreciation and amortisation in 2013 and 2012 is mainly due to the increased depreciation of the Canadian shale gas assets of
R487 million which is based on the units-of-production method using estimated proved
developed reserves as well as the increase in assets that reached beneficial operation in 2012 and 2013 at Sasol Synfuels, and the impact of the weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Translation gains and losses.Translation gains arising primarily from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities amounted to
R899 million in 2013. The gain recognised is due to the weakening of the rand/US dollar exchange rate during the year closing at R9,88 at 30 June 2013, compared with the closing rate at
30 June 2012 of R8,17 per US dollar. The closing rate is used to translate, to rand, all our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the rand at the reporting date
and, as a result, a net gain was recognised on these translations in 2013. The strengthening of the rand has a positive impact on the translation of our monetary liabilities, while the weakening of
the rand has a negative impact on the translation of our monetary assets. Included are translation losses of R2 021 million (2012R727 million), relating
primarily to our ASPC operations, mainly due to the depreciation of the Iranian Rial against the US dollar. In 2012, foreign exchange gains of R243 million were recognised due to the weakening
of the rand/US dollar exchange rate towards the end of the year closing at R8,17 at 30 June 2012 compared to the closing rate at 30 June 2011 of R6,77 per US dollar. A net foreign
exchange loss of R1 016 million was recognised in 2011.

Other operating expenses.Other operating expenses in 2013 amounted to R9 692 million, a decrease of R182 million,
compared to R9 874 million in 2012, which increased by R1 400 million from R8 474 million in 2011. This amount includes rental expenses of
R1 013 million (2012R862 million and 2011R772 million), insurance costs of R516 million (2012R438 million and
2011R535 million), computer costs of R1 514 million (2012R1 403 million and
2011R1 286 million), hired labour of R841 million (2012R503 million and 2011R405 million) and professional fees of
R2 034 million (2012R1 567 million and 2011R1 216 million). Other operating expenses also includes the impact of
the change in discount rates for environmental provisions amounting to a gain of

R1 007 million
(2012loss of R598 million and 2011loss of R52 million). Other operating expenses in 2011 included amounts in respect of
competition related administrative penalties of R112 million. There were no competition related administrative penalties in 2013 and 2012.

Other operating income.Other operating income in 2013 amounted to R1 952 million, which represents an increase of
R536 million, or 38%, compared with R1 416 million in 2012, which increased by R328 million
compared with R1 088 million in 2011. Included in other operating income for the 2013 year is R129 million received in respect of deferred income received related to
emission rights (2012R128 million and 2011R79 million), gain on hedging activities realised by Sasol Financing on foreign exchange contracts of
R262 million (2012R335 million and 2011R276 million) and insurance proceeds of R173 million (2012R39 million and
2011R46 million).

(1)This
arises primarily from the effects of the average US dollar exchange rate during the year on both turnover and operating expenses and the increase in
translation loss relating to our ASPC operations of R1 294 million arising from the depreciation of the Iranian Rial against the US dollar.(2)This
arises primarily from the effects of changes in product and feedstock prices on turnover and materials, energy and consumables used.(3)This
arises primarily from the effects of plant volumes and productivity on materials, energy and consumables used and services rendered.(4)This
arises primarily from the effects of remeasurement itemsrefer to previous analysis.(5)These
primarily include the effects of the increased share-based payment expenses recognised in 2013 and the increase in the depreciation charge of our
Canadian operations of approximately R487 million in 2013.

Finance income.Finance income 2013 amounted to R708 million, which represents a decrease of R88 million, or 11%, compared
with
R796 million in 2012, which decreased by R195 million compared with R991 million in 2011. Included in finance income for the 2013 year is R681 million interest
received (2012R766 million and 2011R943 million) and dividends received of R24 million (2012R22 million and
2011R40 million).

Finance costs.Finance costs in 2013 amounted to R2 002 million, which represents a decrease of R28 million, or 1%,
compared with R2 030 million in 2012, which increased by R213 million compared with R1 817 million in 2011. Included in finance costs for the
2013 year is R774 million interest on debt (2012R558 million and 2011R506 million), R712 million A and B preference share dividends
(2012R822 million and 2011R677 million) that relates to the Sasol Inzalo long-term debt and notional interest of R574 million
(2012R489 million and 2011R468 million). The increase in interest on debt is primarily due to the US$1 billion bond issued during November 2012.
R302 million was capitalised to assets under construction during 2013 (2012R24 million and
2011R43 million). This increase is mainly due to the increase in interest on general borrowings eligible for capitalisation.

Income tax

Income tax expense in 2013 amounted to R12 597 million, an increase of 7%, compared with
R11 746 million in 2012, which increased by 28% from R9 196 million in 2011.

The
effective tax rate was 31,7% in 2013, 32,6% in 2012 and 31,3% in 2011.

The
decrease in the effective tax rate from 32,6% in 2012 to 31,7% in 2013 is mainly due to an increase in non-deductible expenses relating mainly to once-off charges, which was offset
by the

absence
of Secondary Tax on Companies, due to the implementation of dividend withholding tax, as well as the increase in exempt income.

The
increase in the effective tax rate from 31,3% in 2011 to 32,6% in 2012 is primarily as a result of the lower share-based payment expenses in 2012, resulting from the once-off Ixia
Coal transaction in 2011, a decrease in the utilisation of tax losses in 2012, additional tax losses which have not been recognised as deferred tax assets compared to the prior year, an increase in
income received which is exempt for tax purposes, an increase in expenditure which is not tax deductible, increase in the interest rates of the A and B preference shares dividends relating to the
Sasol Inzalo long-term debt of which the dividends are not deductible for tax purposes and other adjustments. The share-based payment expenses are not deductible for tax purposes.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries in 2013 amounted to R904 million compared with
R674 million in 2012 and R426 million in 2011. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the non-controlling interests in subsidiaries increased due to an increase in profits earned from Sasol Oil, in
which outside shareholders hold a 25% interest.

Segment overview

Segmental financial performance is measured on a management basis. This approach is based on the way in which the GEC organises
segments within our group for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The segment overview included below is based on our segment results. Inter-segment turnover was entered into under
terms and conditions substantially similar to terms and conditions which would have been negotiated with an independent third party.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 15% from R10 672 million to R12 324 million mainly due to higher
volumes and sales prices to Sasol Synfuels and the positive impact of the weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate, offset by lower US dollar export coal prices per ton and lower export sales volumes.
Sales volumes increased by 4% to 44,5 million tons (Mt) for 2013 compared with 42,8 Mt in 2012.

Production
volumes were slightly higher than those of the prior year at 40,1 Mt for 2013 compared with 40,0 Mt in 2012.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 21%, mainly due to inflation and increased mining costs to create additional capacity in phasing out old shafts while ramping up new shafts.
This impacted negatively on productivity leading to external coal purchases and increased transport costs. Production in the export plant was affected by new geological information relating to the
Thubelisha shaft, which has a significant impact on the planned future market of the mine. This also resulted in lower productivity and higher costs at certain sections of the Twistdraai colliery.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased by 17% from R9 146 million to R10 672 million mainly due to higher
sales prices to Sasol Synfuels and the positive impact of the weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate, offset by lower US dollar export coal prices per ton. Sales volumes were in line with those of the
prior year at 42,8 million tons (Mt) for 2012 compared with 42,6 Mt in 2011.

Production
volumes increased by 4% to 40,0 Mt for 2012 compared with 38,6 Mt in 2011, despite industrial action and adverse geological conditions due to some collieries reaching the end
of their life of mine.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 12% excluding the effects of the Sasol Ixia transaction, mainly due to higher labour costs, inflation, maintenance costs and material costs.

R6 million on disposal of property, plant and equipment relates to the sale of a continuous miner.

The
remeasurement items in 2012 include the scrapping of thin seam mining components which were no longer economically viable (R43 million) and projects, which were discontinued
and whose technologies could no longer be used (R12 million). In addition, an impairment was recognised in respect of battery haulers of which the recoverable amount was assessed as being below
R6 million of its carrying amount.

During
2011 numerous assets with small carrying values were retired from use and the remaining carrying values attributable to these assets were written off. Other smaller assets were
disposed of in 2011 realising a profit of R2 million in 2011.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 19% from R6 931 million in 2012 to R8 254 million in 2013 mainly
due to higher sales volumes and sales prices and the positive impact of the weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate. Sales volumes were 5% higher at 160,1 MGJ for 2013 compared with 152,4 MGJ in 2012.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 6% mainly due to inflation.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased by 27% from R5 445 million in 2011 to R6 931 million in 2012 mainly
due to higher sales volumes due to stronger demand from Sasol's operations in Sasolburg and Secunda and higher gas sales prices, despite the negative impact of exchange rates on gas purchases.

Sales
volumes were 1,5% higher at 152,4 MGJ for 2012 compared with 150,2 MGJ in 2011.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 38% which was as a result of higher cash fixed costs, higher labour costs due to the filling of vacant positions, and increases in corporate
fees and sundry costs.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 19% from R48 791 million in 2012 to R58 275 million in 2013 mainly
due to a weaker average rand/US dollar exchange rate resulting in favourable product prices and margins, and increased sales volumes.

Production
volumes of 7,443 million tons were 4% higher than the prior year due to stable operations, as well as the performance of the running plant during the phased shutdown in
September 2012.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 11% mainly due to higher feedstock prices, which are largely internal to the group, as well as increased labour and energy costs.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased by 30% from R37 485 million in 2011 to R48 791 million in 2012 mainly
due to the higher average crude oil prices, higher product prices and the weakening of the rand against the US dollar.

Production
volumes were 1,1% higher than in the previous year, due to improved plant efficiencies and a phase shutdown in comparison with a full shutdown in the previous year which were
reduced by the impact of plant instabilities and incidents in the first half of the year.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 20% mainly due to increased feedstock, maintenance and energy costs, as well as provisions for rehabilitation expenses.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 1% from R67 420 million in 2012 to R67 993 million in 2013 mainly
due to higher crude refining margins of US$9,67 in 2013 compared to US$8,44 in 2012 as well has higher virtual refining margins of US$3,23/b in 2013 compared to US$3,21/b in 2012. In addition,
profitability was enhanced by higher petroleum product prices and a weaker average rand/US dollar exchange rate. This benefit was partially offset by lower sales and production volumes due to lower
demand, in particular for black products, on the back of higher petroleum product prices. Total liquid fuel sales were lower at 8,9 million cubic metres (Mm3) in 2013 compared
with 9,6 Mm3 in 2012, specifically due to the overland exporters into Southern Africa and lower sales to refining wholesalers resulting from lower production volumes at Natref.

The
crude oil throughput at our Natref refinery decreased by 21% from 3,3 million cubic metres (Mm3) in 2012 to 2,6 Mm3 in 2013, resulting from an
extended planned maintenance shutdown at the Natref refinery.

Operating
costs and expenses remained in line with the previous year. Higher marketing and refining margins, together with higher product prices underpinned the improved operating
profit. Higher wholesale margins were also partly negated by the impact of the weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased by 23% from R54 784 million in 2011 to R67 420 million in 2012, mainly
due to higher virtual refining margins of US$3,21/b in 2012 compared to US$2,43/b in 2011 and the weakening of the rand against the US dollar. Total liquid fuel sales were lower at 9,6 million
cubic metres (Mm3) in 2012 compared with 10,5 Mm3 in 2011, specifically due to the overland exporters into Southern Africa.

The
crude oil throughput at our Natref refinery decreased by 12% from 3,7 Mm3 in 2011 to 3,3 Mm3 in 2012, resulting from an extended planned shutdown
at the Natref refinery, coupled with crude oil supply shortages resulting from an unplanned third party single buoy mooring (SBM) shutdown in December 2011 and sales volumes were further negatively
impacted by reduced trading activities.

Operating
costs and expenses increased mainly as a result of higher labour costs. Higher marketing margins, together with higher product prices underpinned the improved operating profit.
Higher wholesale margins were also partly negated by the impact of the weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover decreased by 1% from R5 318 million in 2012 to R5 252 million in 2013 mainly due
to lower volumes from the ORYX GTL plant in Qatar due to the planned statutory shutdown in February 2013.

Production
volumes (our share of production by our joint ventures) decreased by 8% from 5,05 million barrels in 2012 to 4,67 million barrels in 2013 of refined products
produced. The ORYX GTL plant achieved a full year average utilisation rate, taking into account the planned statutory shutdown, of 80% of nameplate capacity. Average throughput for the month of May
and June 2013 exceeded 106% of design capacity.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 6% mainly due to inflation and higher US GTL study costs offset by the positive impact of the weaker average rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased significantly by 43% from R3 715 million in 2011 to R5 318 million in
2012 mainly due to continued increased production volumes at the ORYX GTL plant in Qatar and higher product prices derived from crude oil prices.

Production
volumes (our share of production by our joint ventures) increased by 9% from 559k tons to 611k tons of refined products produced. The ORYX GTL plant continues to
achieve new production records and is consistently producing above design capacity of 32 400 bpd.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 37% mainly due to inflation, the impact of negative translation differences and increased spending on study costs in North America. Savings were
obtained on labour costs due to staff migration and information technology centralisation in certain areas.

The
remeasurement items in 2013 include the profit on disposal of property, plant and equipment of R7 million which primarily relates to catalysts sold to ORYX GTL.

The
remeasurement items in 2012 include the scrapping of assets under construction of R34 million which primarily relates to costs capitalised in respect of ORYX GTL.

The
remeasurement items in 2011 include the scrapping of a number of assets with small carrying values that were retired from use and the remaining carrying values attributable to these
assets were written off.

The
10% interest in EGTL is recognised as an investment in associate. Due to the delay in the project and the increasing costs of completion, an impairment review was performed based on
the current project economics. The results of the impairment review indicated that the value in use was lower than the carrying value of the investment. A partial impairment of R123 million was
recognised in 2011.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 17% from R3 111 million in 2012 to R3 634 million in 2013.

Production
volumes from our combined assets in Mozambique, Canada and Gabon, increased by 16% compared to 2012. Natural gas produced and sold increased by 14% from 90,0 MGJ in 2012 to
103,0 MGJ in 2013. Our Canadian operations produced and sold 22,3 billion standard cubic feet (Bscf) of natural gas during 2013 compared to 17,0 Bscf in 2012. Total condensate sales increased
from 0,3 million bbl in 2012 to 0,5 million bbl in 2013. Total oil sales after royalties from Gabon was 1,3 million bbl in 2013 compared to 1,5 million bbl in 2012.
Although Gabon oil production is slowly declining, we are maturing additional volumes in Gabon to sustain the asset life-time.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 9% mainly due to the advancing of various growth initiatives, the impact of a weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate, increased depreciation
relating to our Canadian operations as well as the write off of the Mupeji-1 dry well in Mozambique amounting to R442 million. The operating loss for the prior year includes a partial
impairment of R964 million relating to our Canadian shale gas asset and the impairment of Blocks 16&19 in Mozambique of R434 million.

Our
Canadian shale gas asset remains under pressure due to low gas market prices and high depreciation charges, contributing to the operating loss for the year. We are actively
de-risking this asset to optimise ramp-up of development activities once gas prices increase.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased significantly by 44% from R2 157 million in 2011 to R3 111 million in
2012.

Increased
gas production volumes from our Mozambique operations and sustained production at our Gabon operation contributed positively to SPI's results. Natural gas produced and sold
increased by 2% from 88,0 MGJ in 2011 to 90,0 MGJ in 2012. Our Canadian operations produced and sold 17,0 billion standard cubic feet (Bscf) of natural gas during 2012 compared to 2,9 Bscf in
2011. Total condensate sales was maintained at 0,3 million bbl in 2012 and 2011. Total oil sales after royalties from Gabon was maintained at 1,5 million bbl from 2011.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 184% mainly due to the impact of increased depreciation of R1 296 million relating to our Canadian operations, which were
acquired in the last quarter of 2011, and a partial impairment of R964 million related to our Canadian (shale/tight gas)

asset.
The price of gas in North America is currently displaying more volatility than initially anticipated, coupled with higher than expected drilling and completion costs and sub-surface
complexities. The asset in Canada remains under pressure in the short-term due to the extremely low natural gas prices in North America, but we are positive about the medium to long-term volume
potential and strategic value of the asset.

In
addition, the impairment of Blocks 16&19 in Mozambique amounting to R434 million and the write-off of a dry well, WA-433 in Australia, for an amount of R274 million,
negatively impacted our operating loss in 2012.

The
main factors contributing to the movement in the operating loss were:

Blocks
16&19 arising from the finalisation of the cost of the project. The impairment recognised in 2012 was based on the estimated cost.

A
few assets with small carrying values were scrapped as the projects were not considered to be economically viable.

SPI
realised a R69 million profit on the disposal of its share in PPL426 and PPL287 licences in Papua New Guinea.

The
remeasurement items for 2012 include an amount of R270 million that was written off in respect of capitalised exploration wells subsequently appraised to be unsuccessful. This
amount mainly relates to the WA-433-P licence in the Carnavon Basin offshore North West Australia.

In
2012, an amount of R434 million, which had been capitalised in respect of exploration expenditure on Blocks 16&19, in Mozambique was impaired to zero as it was determined that
it is not economically viable to develop Blocks 16&19.

The
asset in Canada remains under pressure in the short-term mainly due to the extremely low natural gas prices in North America. The value in use is particularly sensitive to changes in
the gas price, estimated ultimate recovery factor as well as changes in drilling and completion costs. An amount of R964 million (CAD120 million) has been recognised as a partial
impairment in respect of the Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset at 30 June 2012.

Sasol
Petroleum International disposed of its JDZ Block-1 licence in Nigeria, realising a loss on disposal of R1 million. This was offset by a profit realised of
R60 million on the farm-down of a 10% equity share in the PPL-285 licence in Papua New Guinea.

In
2011, an amount of R441 million was written off in respect of capitalised exploration wells subsequently appraised to be unsuccessful.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 15% from R20 081 million in 2012 to R23 106 million in 2013, mainly
due to the weakening of the rand against the US dollar and an increase in sales volumes in our South African polymers business despite the slow recovery in the polymers market.

The
South African polymers business recorded an operating loss of R1 785 million (2012R1 148 million). The increase in sales volumes
from 1,256 Mt in 2012 to 1,316 Mt in 2013 in the South

African
polymers business was negated by the slowing of the international polymers market, coupled with the continued margin squeeze experienced in the South African polymers business, where feedstock
price increases outweighed the increases in selling prices.

Our
international operations contributed R4 588 million (2012R2 591 million) to operating profit, excluding the partial impairment of
our investment in Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC) of R3 611 million and translation losses of R2 021 million (2012R727 million), relating
primarily to our ASPC operations, mainly due to the depreciation of the Iranian Rial against the US dollar. ASPC achieved a capacity utilisation rate of 80% for 2013. However, due to logistical
disruptions at ASPC, international operations' sales volumes were 19% lower than 2012.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 34% mainly due to the partial impairment of our investment in ASPC of R3 611 million. At 30 June 2013, the investment
in ASPC was classified as a disposal group held-for-sale. Included in operating profit are also translation losses of R2 021 million relating primarily to our ASPC operations due
to the depreciation of the Iranian Rial against the US dollar.

On
16 August 2013, we entered into a definitive sale and share purchase agreement to dispose of our 50% interest in ASPC for a purchase consideration of
R3 606 million (US$365 million). The purchase consideration is payable in cash for the net assets, dividends and shareholder loans. As a result of this transaction, Sasol
has no on-going investment in Iran.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased by 18% from R17 082 million in 2011 to R20 081 million in 2012, mainly
due to the increase in production volumes during the second half of the year and the weakening of the rand against the US dollar.

The
overall increase in our sales volumes of 1% to 1,8 Mt sold in 2012, was negated by the slowing of the international polymers market, coupled with the continued margin squeeze
experienced in the South African polymers business, where feedstock price increases outweighed the increases in selling prices.

Operating
costs and expenses mainly increased due to higher feedstock prices, which offset the increase in selling prices. In addition, translation losses of R480 million were
recognised, primarily arising from an exchange rate adjustment at our Arya Sasol Polymer Company operations.

Our
international operations contributed R1 864 million to the operating profit. Arya Sasol Polymer Company achieved a capacity utilisation rate of 84% for 2012.

The remeasurement items in 2013 include the partial impairment of our investment in ASPC of R3 611 million arising from the
volatile political environment and on-going economic sanctions from the United Nations, United States and European Union against Iran coupled with operational risks related to increases in feedstock
prices, lack of technical support, inability to access shipping line and management's intention to dispose of the investment. As it was the intention to dispose of the investment at year-end, fair
value less cost to sell was used to determine the recoverable amount. At 30 June 2013, the investment in ASPC was classified as a disposal group held-for-sale. Refer to Note 41 to
"Item 18Financial statements" for more detail.

The
previous impairment of the 40% investment in associate in Wesco China Limited was reversed in 2013. The results of the impairment review indicated that the fair value less cost to
sell (based on external valuations) exceeded the carrying amount of the investment and accordingly the previous impairment of R61 million was reversed.

Numerous
assets with small carrying values were retired from use and the remaining carrying values attributable to these assets were written off to the value of R5 million.

Scrapping
of assets under construction includes the scrapping of the close lid technology project of R12 million. Other assets with small carrying values were retired from use and
the remaining carrying values attributable to these assets were written off to the value of R5 million.

The
remeasurement items in 2012 include an impairment relating to the 40% investment in associate in Wesco China Limited. The results of the impairment review indicated that the value in
use was R61 million lower than the carrying amount of the investment. Various projects and assets were retired from use and disposed of realising a profit of R1 million and numerous
assets with small carrying values were retired from use and the remaining carrying values attributable to these assets were written off to the value of R2 million.

The
remeasurement items in 2011 include the impairment of property, plant and equipment relating to a railway line at Petronas Chemicals LDPE (previously Petlin), which is no longer in
use. In addition, various projects and assets were retired from use and disposed of realising a profit of R1 million. Numerous assets with small carrying values were retired from use and the
remaining carrying values attributable to these assets were written off to the value of R42 million.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 13% from R18 914 million in 2012 to R21 291 million in 2013 mainly
due to an increase in sales volumes and the positive impact of a weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate. This benefit was partially offset by declining US dollar selling prices and contracting margins,
resulting from continued high feedstock prices during the year.

Sales
volumes increased by 6% from 1,56 Mt sold in 2012 to 1,66 Mt sold in 2013. Production volumes were comparable with the prior year.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 16% due to a partial impairment of R242 million related to our German operations and the increased cost of feedstock coupled with the
impact of a weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased by 9% from R17 280 million in 2011 to R18 914 million in 2012. The
increase was primarily due to higher average product prices which, despite being above prior year levels, steadily reduced over the course of the year. Margins contracted on the back of higher
feedstock costs, and the impact of lower sales volumes was partially offset by the weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate. Difficult trading conditions continued to prevail, especially during the latter
half of the year.

Table of Contents

Production
volumes were comparable with the prior year, despite planned and unplanned outages at Sasol's upstream production facilities, as well as production cut-backs, mainly in
Europe, due to market constraints. Sales volumes decreased by 3% from 1,61 Mt sold in 2011 to 1,56 Mt sold in 2012.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 12% due to the increased cost of feedstock and the impact of a weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Total turnover increased by 9% from R37 698 million in 2012 to R41 278 million in 2013 mainly
due to an increase in sales volumes and the positive impact of a weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate.

Total
sales volumes increased by 4% from 1,95 Mt in 2012 to 2,00 Mt in 2013 due to higher demand.

Operating
costs and expenses increased by 9% mainly due to the impact of a weaker rand/US dollar exchange rate. The prior year included a profit of R285 million recognised on the
sale of the Witten site in Germany.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Total turnover increased by 19% from R31 715 million in 2011 to R37 698 million in 2012, mainly
due to increased product prices in some regions which were partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Total
sales volumes decreased by 4% from 2,04 Mt in 2011 to 1,95 Mt in 2012 due to lower demand. Production was optimised to match lower demand and optimise margins in light of the
weakening European market conditions.

Operating
costs and expenses include a profit of R285 million recognised on the sale of the Witten site in Germany. The prior year included a reversal of an impairment of
R486 million related to the Sasol Italy operations.

Results of operations 2013 compared to 2012

Our other chemical businesses recorded an operating profit of R252 million in 2013 compared to an operating profit of
R1 188 million in 2012.

Sasol
Wax's operating profit was negatively impacted by a partial impairment on the FT wax expansion project amounting to R2 033 million. This impact was partially
negated by the weakening of the rand against the US dollar.

The
Sasol Nitro business incurred an operating loss of R124 million for the year. This was due to the negative effects of labour unrest in the mining sector during the first half
of the year, lower customer demand and significantly higher feedstock costs in the fertiliser business.

Sasol
Infrachem's operating profit was positively impacted by an increase in turnover due to higher ammonia product prices and the weakening of the rand against the US dollar.

In
December 2012, Sasol acquired the remaining 50% shareholding in Merisol for a purchase consideration of R730 million (US$85 million). Merisol contributed
R1 438 million to the group's external turnover in 2013 mainly due to increased sales volumes.

Results of operations 2012 compared to 2011

Operating profit in our other chemical businesses decreased by 10% to R1 188 million compared with the prior year.

Sasol
Nitro's operating profit was negatively impacted by lower explosive sales volumes, due to safety stoppages and labour unrest in the mining sector. Operating profit includes a
once-off profit resulting from the sale of Sasol Nitro's Phalaborwa assets and certain of its downstream fertiliser businesses.

Sasol
Wax's operating profit was negatively impacted by declining sales and production volumes in the wax markets, on the back of lower demand for paraffin waxes in the US and European
markets and production difficulties in South Africa. This impact was partially negated by the weakening of the rand against the US dollar. Sales volumes decreased by 11% from 636 ktpa in 2011 to 574
ktpa in 2012.

Table of Contents

Merisol's operating profit was positively impacted by an increase in total turnover by 10% from R846 million to R931 million in 2012 mainly due to
increased sales volumes.

Sasol
Infrachem's operating profit was positively impacted by an increase in turnover relating to the sale of ammonia and speciality gasses which are partially offset by lower reformed
gas production and sales volumes.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting standards which are
relevant to Sasol but not yet effective, have not been adopted in the current year:

Standard

Effective
date*

Anticipated impact on SasolIFRS 9, Financial Instruments

12 November
2009

1 January
2015

IFRS 9 introduced new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets. Subsequently, new requirements were published for the accounting of financial liabilities and the derecognition of financial
instruments. As the scope of the standard will be further expanded to include impairment of assets and hedge accounting, we will review the effects of a comprehensive standard on financial instruments and consider adoption when
appropriate.IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended)^^

12 May
2011

1 January
2013^

IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements and SIC-12 ConsolidationSpecial Purpose Entities. IFRS 10
provides a single basis for consolidation with a new definition of control. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 although early adoption is permitted. The impact of IFRS 10 will result in certain
of Sasol's consolidated entities being accounted for under IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements. This standard will be adopted by the group for the year ending 30 June 2014.IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (as amended)^^

12 May
2011

1 January
2013^

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements replaces IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled EntitiesNon-monetary Contributions by Venturers.Under IFRS 11 a joint arrangement is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture, and the option to proportionately consolidate joint ventures has been removed. Interests in joint ventures must be
equity accounted. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 although early adoption is permitted. Sasol currently consolidates its joint ventures proportionately on a line-by-line basis (refer to
"Item 18Consolidated financial statements", note 60 for financial information on proportionately consolidated joint ventures). The application of IFRS 11 will result in certain of Sasol's operations being classified as joint
ventures and accounted for using the equity method, and no longer proportionately consolidated on a line by line basis. This standard will be adopted by the group for the year ending 30 June 2014.IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (as amended)^^

12 May
2011

1 January
2013^

The standard requires an entity to disclose information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in subsidiaries, entities that are not fully
consolidated, including joint arrangements, associates and special purposes entities; and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The effective date for adoption of this standard is for periods
commencing on or after 1 January 2013. This standard will be adopted by the group for the year ending 30 June 2014.IAS 27 (Amendment), Separate Financial Statements^^

12 May
2011

1 January
2013^

Following the introduction of IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, this standard was also amended. The effective date for adoption of this standard is for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013.
This standard will be adopted by the group for the year ending 30 June 2014.IAS 28 (Amendment), Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures^^

12 May
2011

1 January
2013^

Following the introduction of IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, this standard was also amended to take into account the changes in accounting for joint arrangements whereby joint ventures are equity accounted. The
effective date for adoption of this standard is for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013. This standard will be adopted by the group for the year ending 30 June 2014.

5.B    Liquidity and capital resources

Liquidity

Management believes that cash on hand and funds from operations, together with our existing borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to
cover our reasonably foreseeable working capital and debt requirements. We finance our capital expenditure from funds generated out of our business operations, existing borrowing facilities and, in
some cases, additional borrowings to fund specific projects.

In
2013, we continued with our cash conservation approach, which included our cost containment strategy and the suspension of our share repurchase programme. This resulted in the group's
strong cash position. In addition, our cash conservation approach also included the prioritisation of our capital expenditure programme. In the short term, our capital expenditure was prioritised to
that which can be funded through cash generated from operating activities.

The
following table provides a summary of our cash flows for each of the three years ended 30 June 2013, 2012 and 2011:

2013

)

(27 616
)

(24 465
)Net cash retained from/(utilised by) financing activities


8 749


(1 029
)

288


The cash generated by our operating activities is applied first to pay our debt and tax commitments and then to provide a return in the form of a
dividend to our shareholders. The net cash retained is applied primarily to invest in our capital investment programme.

Operating activities

Net cash retained from operating activities has increased over the past three years to R38 447 million in 2013 from
R28 024 million in 2012 and R25 816 million in 2011 as a result of improved operational performance and the weakening of the average rand/US dollar exchange
rate. Cash flows retained from operating activities include the following significant cash flows:

In 2013, the average rand/US dollar exchange rate weakened by 14% to R8,85/US$ at 30 June 2013 compared with R7,78/US$ at 30 June
2012. The impact of the weaker average rand/US dollar exchange rate and improved operational performance has had a positive impact on our operations in 2013. However, this was partially offset by
lower average crude oil prices, lower product prices and an increase in our working capital balances. Cash generated by operating activities has increased by 24% to R59 267 million
in 2013 and by 24% to R47 901 million in 2012. In line with operating profit generated by our businesses, the most significant contributor to our cash generated by operations is
Sasol Synfuels.

The
decrease in tax paid in 2013 is due to the replacement of Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) with a dividend withholding tax. STC paid in 2012 amounted to
R1 032 million. The increase in tax paid in 2012 is due to the increase in taxable profit.

Dividends
paid amounted to R10 787 million in 2013 compared to R9 600 million in 2012 and R6 614 million in 2011. Our dividend
distribution policy is a progressive dividend policy to distribute dividends on a regular basis, to maintain and/or grow dividends in line with the anticipated sustainable growth in earnings, barring
significant economic variables such as fluctuations in the oil price and exchange rates. The prevailing circumstances of the company, future investment plans, financial performance and the trading and
macroeconomic environments are considered when we make decisions on dividends. The average rate of earnings to dividend distributions in the past five years was approximately 2,5 times. Our dividend
cover is 2,3 times for 2013.

Investing activities

Net cash utilised in investing activities has increased from R24 465 million in 2011 to R27 616
million in 2012 and to R32 049 million in 2013.

flows utilised in investing activities include the following significant cash flows:

Financing activities

The group's operations are financed primarily by means of its operating cash flows. Cash shortfalls are usually short-term in nature
and are met primarily from short-term banking facilities.

capital expansion projects and acquisitions of businesses are financed by a combination of internally generated cash flow and variable and fixed rate debt. This debt is usually
in the functional currency of the project or acquisition being financed and we aim to negotiate repayment terms that match the expected cash flow to be generated by the asset or the business acquired.

Our
long-term capital investments in the US will constitute a significant portion of total capital expenditure over the next 10 years coupled with other projects to expand and
sustain existing business. These projects will be financed by a combination of internally generated cash flow and variable and fixed-rate long-term debt. The group's gearing currently remains low
(negative 0,3%) and we have sufficient headroom to fund our growth opportunities, grow dividends and provide a buffer against volatilities. We expect that gearing is likely to reach the targeted
gearing range of 20% to 40% in the near-to-medium term. Following the successful issuance of the US dollar bond in November 2012, flexibility has been introduced into the group's funding plan. This
provides the opportunity to approach international bond markets on a regular basis to fund growth projects in the US.

Net
cash retained from financing activities was R8 749 million in 2013, compared with net cash utilised of R1 029 million in 2012 and net cash
retained of R288 million in 2011.

At the annual general meeting held on 26 November 2010, shareholders granted the authority to the Sasol directors to repurchase up to 10%
of Sasol's issued share capital (excluding the preferred ordinary and Sasol BEE shares) for a further maximum of 15 months. On 25 November 2011, shareholders renewed the authority to the
Sasol directors to repurchase up to 10% of Sasol's issued securities. At the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2012, shareholders granted the authority to the Sasol directors to
approve the repurchase up to 10% of each of Sasol's ordinary shares and Sasol BEE ordinary shares. No shares were repurchased during 2011, 2012 and 2013.

As
at 30 June 2013, through our subsidiary, Sasol Investment Company (Pty) Ltd, we held 8 809 886 ordinary shares, representing 1,44% of the
issued share capital of the company, excluding the Sasol Inzalo share transaction, for an amount of R2 641 million at a cumulative average price of R299,77 per share.

During
2013, proceeds from long-term debt included the US$1 billion bond issued by Sasol Financing International Plc, an indirect 100% owned finance subsidiary of Sasol
Limited, and various other facilities raised across the group. Sasol Limited has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the US$1 billion bond. There are no restrictions on the ability of Sasol
Limited to obtain funds from the finance subsidiary by dividend or loan.

The
repayment of long-term debt related primarily to the settlement of the Arya Sasol Polymer Company debt which bears interest at significantly higher rates.

Table of Contents

During
2012, approximately R1,4 billion relating to Arya Sasol Polymer Company was reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt as it was expected that the debt would be
repayable within the next 12 months.

During
2011, proceeds from long-term debt included preference share debt of R707 million related to the Ixia Coal transaction and various other facilities raised across the group.
In 2011, the repayment of the long-term debt related primarily to the settlement of the term loan from the Central Energy Fund in Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investments Company (Pty) Ltd
and the repayment of the long-term debt in Arya Sasol Polymer Company which bears interest at significantly higher interest rates.

Capital resources

Sasol Financing and Sasol Financing International act as our group's financing vehicles. All our group treasury, cash management and
borrowing activities are facilitated through Sasol Financing and Sasol Financing International. The group executive committee (GEC) and senior management meet regularly, to review and, if appropriate,
approve the implementation of optimal strategies for the effective management of the group's financial risk. Our cash requirements for working capital, share repurchases, capital expenditures and
acquisitions, over the past three years have been primarily financed through a combination of funds generated from operations and borrowings. In our opinion, our working capital is sufficient for
present requirements.

As
at 30 June 2013, we have authorised capital expenditure of R110 billion, of which R41,8 billion has already been spent. See "Item 5.FTabular
disclosure of contractual obligationCapital commitments". Our long-term capital expansion projects including the US projects will be financed by means of a combination of internally
generated cash flow and variable and fixed-rate long-term debt. This debt is normally raised in the same currency as the underlying project and repayment terms are designed to match the expected cash
flows to be generated by that project.

Our
debt comprises the following:

Our debt profile has a longer-term bias which is a reflection of both our capital investment programme and the favourable results generated by
operating activities over the last three years.

The
group has borrowing facilities with major financial institutions of R49 867 million (2012R45 278 million). Of these facilities,
R24 805 million (2011R16 122 million) has been utilised at year end.

There
were no events of default for the years ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012.

Besides
our normal commercial banking facilities, the majority of which is in South Africa, an additional facility to fund short-term funding requirements in South Africa is our
commercial paper programme of R8 billion, normally at fixed interest rates. There were no amounts outstanding under the commercial paper programme at 30 June 2013.

Table of Contents

We
manage our short-term debt interest rate exposure by making use of a combination of commercial banking facilities with variable interest rates and commercial paper issues at fixed
interest rates. Refer to "Item 11Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk" for a breakdown of our liabilities summarised by fixed and floating interest rates.



We actively monitor and manage our cash flow requirements and to the extent that core long-term financing requirements are identified,
we will finance these with longer-term debt issues.

Covenants

The group is subject to certain covenants on its debt facilities relating to earnings, debt cover, and net asset value, amongst others.
There were no events of default in the year ended 30 June 2013.

The
covenant terms above are defined contractually in each of the agreements for the above facilities using definitions agreed to between the parties derived from amounts published in
the consolidated annual financial statements of Sasol prepared in accordance with IFRS for any year and adjusted in terms of the agreed definitions.

For
information regarding our material commitments for capital expenditure refer to "Item 5.FCapital and contractual commitments".

5.C    Research and development, patents and licenses

Research and development

Our research and development function consists of a central research and development division in South Africa, which focuses on
fundamental research while our decentralised divisions focus on applications. The central research function has a full suite of state-of-the-art pilot plants to support both current and future
technology being developed.

Our
application research and development capabilities are focused around four areas:



Total
expenditure on research in years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was R1 359 million, R1 257 million and R1 006 million,
respectively. Development costs capitalised in 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to R83 million, R107 million and R76 million, respectively. For further information regarding our
research
and development activities, see "Item 4.BBusiness overviewSasol Technology".

5.D    Trend information

Our financial results since the end of 2013 have been principally affected by fluctuations in dated Brent crude oil prices and a
weakening of the rand to US dollar.

188

---



Table of Contents

In
recent months, the derived European Brent crude oil spot price increased from the year end level as at 30 June 2013 of US$102,46/b to US$107,85/b on 30 September 2013
with a high of US$117,13/b and a low of US$103,28/b during that period. Given the current global economic conditions and the uncertain political environment in certain major oil producing countries,
the oil price has been volatile and this volatility is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. As discussed above, a high oil price generally results in increased profitability for our group.

The
rand to US dollar exchange rate was R9,88 at 30 June 2013. The rand weakened subsequent to 30 June 2013 reaching R10,03 per US dollar at 30 September 2013 with a
high of R10,39 per US dollar and a low of R9,59 per US dollar during the period 1 July 2013 to 30 September 2013. While the exchange rate during the current year has been relatively more
volatile than in previous years due to the current global economic conditions, we are unable to accurately forecast whether this will continue in the foreseeable future.

5.E    Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not engage in off-balance sheet financing activities and do not have any off-balance sheet debt obligations, off-balance sheet
special purpose entities or unconsolidated affiliates.

Guarantees

As at 30 June 2013, the group has issued the following guarantees for which the liabilities have not been included in the

Product warranties

The group provides product warranties with respect to certain products sold to customers in the ordinary course of business. These
warranties typically provide that products sold will conform to specifications. The group generally does not establish a liability for product warranty based on a percentage of turnover or other
formula. The group accrues a warranty liability on a transaction-specific basis depending on the individual facts and circumstances related to each sale. Both the liability and the annual expense
related to product warranties are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION

8.A    Consolidated statements and other financial information

See "Item18. Financial Statements" for our financial statements, related notes and other financial information filed with
this annual report on Form 20-F.

Dividend policy

Our dividend distribution policy is a progressive dividend policy to maintain and/or grow dividends in line with the anticipated
sustainable growth in earnings, barring significant economic variables such as fluctuations in the oil price and exchange rates. The prevailing circumstances of the company, future investment plans,
financial performance and the trading and macroeconomic environments will be considered when we make decisions on dividends. The average rate of earnings to dividend distributions in the past five
years was approximately 2,6 times. Our dividend cover for 2013 was 2,3 times. We distribute dividends twice a year.

With
effect from 1 April 2012, secondary tax on companies (STC) of 10% levied on dividends declared was replaced by a dividend withholding tax on shareholders of 15%. The
withholding tax of 15% on dividends declared is excluded in the company's computation of the income tax expense for the corresponding period as it is a tax on shareholders.

Refer
to "Item 10.BMemorandum and articles of associationRights of holders of our securities".

Legal proceedings

For information regarding our legal proceedings refer to "Item 4.BBusiness overviewLegal proceedings".

ITEM 10.    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.A    Share capital

Not applicable.

10.B    Memorandum and articles of association

The South African Companies Act, 61 of 1973 (old Companies Act) was replaced with the Companies Act, 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) with
effect from 1 May 2011 (the effective date). In terms of the Companies Act, the memorandum of association and articles of association of any company incorporated under the old Companies Act
became its memorandum of incorporation (MOI) on the effective date. A company had two years from the effective date within which to adopt a new MOI to align its MOI with the Companies Act, during
which period the provisions of the MOI prevailed over the Companies Act, unless otherwise provided in the Companies Act. In November 2012, shareholders adopted a special resolution in terms of which
our MOI was abrogated in its entirety and replaced with a new MOI aligned with the provisions of the Companies Act.

1.     Registration number, and object and purpose

Registration number:Sasol Limited was incorporated in South Africa as a public company under the old Companies Act and continues to
exist under the
Companies Act as a pre-existing company. We are entered into the register of the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission under registration number 1979/003231/06. Our corporate seat is
in Johannesburg, South Africa.



In terms of the Companies Act, Sasol's main business is not required to be specified in its MOI.

Our
company's main business remains to act as an investment holding company, and investment company and a management company and, either on its own and/or in collaboration with other
agencies:

4.     Changing rights of holders of securities

In terms of our MOI, we may only by way of special resolution amend the rights attached to any shares or convert any of our shares (whether issued or not) into
shares of another class. A special resolution is also required for the company to convert shares into stock and to reconvert stock into shares. If the
rights of any class of shareholders will be affected, then provision is made in the Companies Act for a separate class meeting of the holders of such shares. In addition to the above, shareholders
have appraisal rights under the Companies Act, and accordingly, if we amend our MOI by altering the preferences, rights, limitations or other terms of any class of our shares in a manner that is
materially adverse to the rights or interests of holders of that class of shares, every holder of that class of shares that was present at the meeting at which the resolution to amend our MOI was
passed and voted against such resolution, will be entitled, on notice to the company to seek court relief upon establishing that they have been unfairly prejudiced by the company. For a special
resolution to be approved by shareholders, it must be supported by at least 75% of the voting rights exercised on the resolution.

5.     General meeting of shareholders

In terms of the Companies Act, the board or any other person specified in the company's MOI may call a shareholders' meeting at any time. In terms of our MOI, the
board (or any other person which may be specified in the MOI) must call a shareholders' meeting:



One
or more shareholders holding not less than 10% of the voting rights may convene a shareholders' meeting.

If
a company is unable to convene a meeting because it has no directors, then in terms of our MOI, any single shareholder entitled to vote may convene a meeting. In accordance with our
MOI, our annual general meeting is required to be held each year within six months from the end of our

213

Table of Contents

financial
year, and within 15 months after the date of our last preceding annual general meeting. The following business must at a minimum be transacted at an annual general
meeting:



If
the company fails to convene a meeting in accordance with its MOI, or as required by the shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 10% of the voting rights as set out above, or
within the time periods specified above for an annual general meeting, any shareholder may apply to court for an order to convene a shareholders' meeting on a date and subject to such terms as a court
considers appropriate.

Notices.In terms of our MOI we are required to deliver written notice of shareholders' meetings to
each shareholder and each beneficial shareholder at least 15 business days before a meeting. The Companies Act also stipulates that delivery of a notice will be deemed to have taken place on the
seventh calendar day following the day on which the notice was posted by way of registered post. The notice of meeting must includeinter aliathe date,
time and place of the meeting, the general purpose of the meeting and a copy of any proposed resolution. In the case of the annual general meeting the notice must include a summarised form of the
annual financial statements to be presented and directions for obtaining a copy of such complete annual financial statements.

Attendance at meetings.Before a person will be allowed to attend or participate at shareholder meetings, that person must present
reasonably
satisfactory identification and the person presiding at the meeting must reasonably satisfy himself that the right of the person to attend as shareholder or proxy has been reasonably verified.
Meetings of shareholders may be attended by any person who holds shares in the company and whose name has been entered into our securities register and includes any person who is entitled to exercise
any voting rights in relation to the company. Any person entitled to attend and to vote at any meeting may appoint a proxy/ies in writing to attend and to vote at such meeting on his/her/its behalf.
In respect of shares which are not subject to the rules of a central securities depository, and in respect of which a person holds a beneficial interest which includes the right to vote on a matter,
that beneficial holder may attend and vote on a matter at a meeting of shareholders, but only if that person's name has been entered in our register of disclosures as the holder of that beneficial
interest. Beneficial shareholders whose shares are not registered in their own name or (in the case of certificated shares in the company's register of disclosure), or beneficial owners who have
dematerialised their shares, are required to contact the registered shareholder or their Central Securities Depository Participant, as the case may be, for assistance to attend and vote at meetings.

Quorum.In terms of our MOI, the quorum necessary for the commencement of a shareholders meeting shall be sufficient persons present at
the meeting
to exercise, in aggregate, at least 25% of all the voting rights that are entitled to be exercised in respect of at least one matter to be decided at the shareholders meeting but the shareholders
meeting may not begin unless at least 3 persons entitled to vote are present. In terms of our MOI, if the required quorum of shareholders is not present within 30 minutes from the time appointed for
the meeting to begin, the meeting will be postponed to the next business day and if at such adjourned shareholders meeting a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the
shareholders meeting, then the persons entitled to vote present shall be deemed to be the requisite quorum. In terms of the Companies Act, no further notice is required of a postponed or adjourned
meeting unless the location is different from that of the postponed or adjourned meeting, or is different from a location announced at the time of an adjourned meeting.

6.     Rights of non-South African shareholders

The Sasol BEE ordinary shares may only be owned by persons who meet certain broad-based black economic empowerment credentials. In order to meet such credentials
such person must,inter alia, be a South African citizen.

There
are no limitations imposed by South African law or the MOI on the rights of non-South African shareholders to hold or vote shares in the company (other than the Sasol BEE ordinary
shares). Acquisitions of shares in South African companies are not generally subject to review by the SARB. However, its approval may be required in certain cases where such share acquisition is
financed by South African lenders.

7.     Provisions that would have the effect of delaying a change of control or merger

The Companies Act and the regulations to the Companies Act deal extensively with the requirements that must be met by a company with respect to a merger, an
acquisition or a corporate restructure.

8.     Disclosure of ownership threshold

Pursuant to section 122(1)(a) and (b) of the Companies Act, a person must notify the company within three business days after acquiring or disposing
of a beneficial interest in sufficient securities of a class issued by that company such that, as a result of the acquisition or disposal, the person holds or no longer holds as the case may be, a
beneficial interest in securities amounting to any multiple of 5% of the issued securities of that class. The wording in the Companies Act relating to the threshold amount is ambiguous and the
Takeover Regulation Panel has interpreted this to mean an acquisition or disposal of shares in any 5% increment.

The
JSE Listings Requirements require a listed company to disclose in its annual financial statements the interest of any shareholder, other than a director, who, insofar as it is known
to the company, is directly or indirectly beneficially interested in 5% or more of any class of the company's capital.

9.     Changes in share capital

In terms of the Companies Act, the board may (save to the extent that a company's MOI provides otherwise), increase or decrease the number of authorised shares in
any class of shares. In addition, the board may (save to the extent that the company's MOI provides otherwise), classify any unclassified shares, or determine any preference rights, limitations or
other terms in respect of a class of shares which have been provided for in a company's MOI and for which the board is required to determine the associated preference rights, limitations or other
terms of shares.

In
terms of our MOI and the JSE Listings Requirements, we are required to obtain the consent of shareholders, by special resolution in general meeting, to increase the number of
authorised shares in the share capital of the company, or to consolidate or to subdivide all or any shares or to amend the rights and privileges of any class of shares.

Issued shares placed under the control of directors.See section 4 above.

Unissued shares placed under the control of directors.The Companies Act generally allows the board to issue authorised shares without
shareholder
approval. However, in terms of our MOI, and subject the listings requirements of the JSE, the company may, in a general meeting, place the balance of the ordinary shares not allotted under the control
of the directors with general authorisation to allot, and issue such shares at such prices and upon such terms and conditions and with the rights and privileges attached thereto, as may be determined
in general meeting. A special resolution is required

216

---



Table of Contents

to
place the preference shares under the control of the directors. Further, in terms of our MOI, a special resolution is required to amend the rights attached to any unissued shares or convert any of
our unissued shares into shares of another class. A special resolution, is also required for the company to cancel, vary or amend shares or any rights attached to shares which, at the time of the
passing of the relevant resolution, have not been taken up by any person or which no person has agreed to take up, and we may reduce our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

In
terms of the Companies Act, a special resolution is required to approve an issue of shares or securities convertible into shares, or the issue of options for the allotment or
subscription of authorised shares or other securities of the company, or a grant of any other rights exercisable for securities, if the shares, securities, options or rights are issued to a director,
future director, prescribed officer, or future prescribed officer of the company, or their related parties or nominees. In addition, a special resolution is required to approve an issue of shares or
securities which will, as a result of a transaction or a series of transactions, result in the voting power of the class of shares being issued being equal to or exceeding 30% of the voting powers of
all the shares of that class immediately before the transaction or series of transactions.

10.C    Material contracts

We do not have any material contracts, other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

10.D    Exchange controls

South African exchange control regulations are administered by the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank
(FSD) and are applied throughout the Common Monetary Area (CMA) (South Africa, the Kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland and the Republic of Namibia) and regulate transactions involving South African
residents, as defined in the Exchange Control Rulings, including natural persons and legal entities.

Day
to day interaction with the FSD on exchange control matters is facilitated through Authorised Dealers who are persons authorised by National Treasury to deal in foreign exchange, in
so far as transactions in respect of foreign exchange are concerned.

The
South African government (the Government) has from time to time stated its intention to relax South Africa's exchange control regulations when economic conditions permit such action.
In recent years, the Government has incrementally relaxed aspects of exchange control.

The
following is a general outline of South African exchange controls. The comments below relate to exchange controls in force at the date of this annual report. These controls are
subject to change at any time without notice. Investors should consult a professional advisor as to the exchange control implications of their particular investments.

Foreign financing and investments

Foreign debt.We, and our South African subsidiaries, require approval by the FSD to obtain foreign loans.

Funds
raised outside the CMA by our non-resident subsidiaries, ie a non-resident for exchange control purposes, are not restricted under South African exchange control regulations and
may be used for any purpose including foreign investment, as long as such use is without recourse to South Africa. We, and our South African subsidiaries, would, however, require approval by the FSD
in order to provide guarantees for the obligations of any of our subsidiaries with regard to funds obtained from non-residents of the CMA.

217

---



Table of Contents

Debt
raised outside the CMA by our non-resident subsidiaries must be repaid or serviced by those foreign subsidiaries. Without approval by the FSD, we can neither use cash we earn in
South Africa to repay or service such foreign debts nor can we provide security on behalf of our non-resident subsidiaries.

We
may retain dividends declared by our foreign subsidiaries offshore which we may use for any purpose, without any recourse to South Africa. These funds may, subject to certain
conditions, also be invested back into the CMA in the form of equity investments or loans.

Raising capital overseas.A listing by a South African company on any stock exchange requires prior approval by the FSD. Similarly, the
listing of a
non-South African company on the JSE requires prior approval by the FSD.

Under
South African exchange control regulations, we must obtain approval from the FSD regarding any capital raising activity involving a currency other than the rand. In granting its
approval, the FSD may impose conditions on our use of the proceeds of the capital raising activity outside South Africa, including limits on our ability to retain the proceeds of this capital raising
activity outside South Africa or a requirement that we seek further approval by the FSD prior to applying any of these funds to any specific use. Any limitations imposed by the FSD on our use of the
proceeds of a capital raising activity could adversely affect our flexibility in financing our investments.

Foreign investments.Under current exchange control regulations we, and our South African subsidiaries, can invest overseas without
prior approval by
the FSD, where the investment is below R500 million per calendar year per company provided that the proposed investment meets certain criteria. Although no prior approval by the FSD is required
for these investments, prior approval from the relevant Authorised Dealer, who will evaluate the investment on the same principles applied by the FSD, is required. Where the investment does not meet
certain criteria, the Authorised Dealer will refer the matter to the FSD for consideration.

Should
the foreign investment be more than R500 million per calendar year per company, or where the Authorised Dealer refers the matter to the FSD in the circumstances described
above, prior approval by the FSD is required and such foreign investments will only be allowed if the investment meets certain criteria including one of national interest, as determined by the FSD.
There is no limitation placed on us with regard to the amount of funds that we can transfer from South Africa for an approved foreign investment. The FSD may, however, request us to stagger the
capital outflows relating to large foreign investments in order to limit the impact of such outflows on the South African economy and the foreign exchange market.

The
FSD also requires us to provide them with an annual report, which will include the annual financial statements, of all our foreign subsidiaries.

Investment in South African companies

Inward investment.As a general rule, a foreign investor may invest freely in shares in a South African company. Foreign investors may
also sell
shares in a South African company and transfer the proceeds out of South Africa without restriction. Acquisitions of shares or assets of South African companies by non-South African purchasers are not
generally subject to review by the FSD when the consideration is in cash, but may require review by the FSD in certain circumstances, including when the consideration is equity in a non-South African
company or when the acquisition is financed by a loan from a South African lender.

Dividends.There are no exchange control restrictions on the remittance of dividends declared out of
trading profits to non-residents of the CMA. However, residents of the CMA may under no circumstances have dividends paid outside the CMA without specific approval from the FSD.

Transfer of shares and ADSs.Under South African exchange control regulations, our shares and ADSs are freely transferable outside
South Africa among
persons who are not residents of the CMA. Additionally, where shares are sold on the JSE on behalf of our shareholders who are not residents of the CMA, the proceeds of such sales will be freely
exchangeable into foreign currency and remittable to them. The FSD may also require a review to establish that the shares have been sold at market value and at arm's length. While share certificates
held by non-resident shareholders will be endorsed with the words "non-resident", such endorsement will, however, not be applicable to ADSs held by non-resident shareholders.

10.E    Taxation

South African taxation

The following discussion summarises the South African tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs by a US
holder (as defined below). This summary is based upon current South African tax law and the convention between the governments of the United States and the Republic of South Africa for the avoidance
of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income and capital gains, signed on 17 February 1997 (the Treaty). In addition, this summary is based in part
upon representations of the Depositary (The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary for our ADSs), and assumes that each obligation provided for in, or otherwise contemplated by the Deposit Agreement
and any related agreement, will be performed in accordance with its respective terms.

The
summary of the South African tax considerations does not address the tax consequences to a US holder that is resident in South Africa for South African tax purposes or whose holding
of shares or ADSs is effectively connected with a permanent establishment in South Africa through which such US holder carries on business activities. It equally does not address the scenario where
the US holder is not the beneficial recipient of the dividends or returns or, in the case of an individual who performs independent personal services, who has a fixed base situated in South Africa or
the source of the transaction is deemed to be in South Africa, or who is otherwise not entitled to full benefits under the Treaty.

The
statements of law set forth below are subject to any changes (which may be applied retroactively) in South African law or in the interpretation thereof by the South African tax
authorities, or in the Treaty, occurring after the date hereof. For the purposes of the Treaty and South African tax law, a US resident that owns Sasol ADSs will be treated as the owner of Sasol
shares represented by such ADSs. Holders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences under South African, US federal, state and local, and other applicable laws, of the
ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs.

Taxation of dividends

A new dividends tax was introduced in South Africa with effect from 1 April 2012. In terms of these provisions, a dividends tax
at the rate of 15% is levied on any dividend declared by a company to a shareholder. The liability to pay such dividends tax is on the shareholder, even though the company generally acts as a
withholding agent.

In
the absence of any renegotiation of the Treaty, the tax on the dividends paid to a US holder with respect to shares or ADSs, is limited to 5% of the gross amount of the dividends
where a US corporate holder holds directly at least 10% of the voting stock of Sasol. The maximum dividends tax rate will be 15% of the gross amount of the dividends in all other cases.

A
new definition of a dividend was introduced into the income tax laws with effect from 1 April 2012. A dividend is defined as any amount transferred or applied by a company that
is a resident

219

---



Table of Contents

(including
Sasol) for the benefit or on behalf of any person in respect of any share in that company, whether that amount is transferred or applied by way of a distribution made by the company, or as
consideration for the acquisition of any share in that company. It specifically excludes any amount transferred or applied by the company that results in a reduction of so-called contributed tax
capital (CTC) or constitutes shares in the company or constitutes an acquisition by the company of its own securities by way of a general repurchase of securities in terms of the JSE Listings
Requirements.

The
concept of CTC effectively means the sum of the stated capital or share capital and share premium of a company that existed on 1 January 2011, excluding any transfers from
reserves to the share premium account or stated capital account. Any application of CTC is limited to the holders of a class of shares and specifically that a distribution of CTC attributable to a
specific class of shares must be made proportionately to the number of shares held by a shareholder in a specific class of shares. In other words, CTC can only be used proportionately by a company and
cannot be applied by a company for the benefit of only one specific shareholder. The CTC of the company cannot therefore also be used in respect of different classes of shares and the CTC of a
specific class is ring-fenced.

Taxation of gains on sale or other disposition

Prior to 1 October 2001, in the absence of a capital gains tax, gains realised on the sale or other disposition of shares held
by a US holder as a capital asset were not subject to taxation in South Africa. From 1 October 2001, South Africa introduced a tax on capital gains, which only applies to South African
residents and to non-residents if the sale is attributable to a permanent establishment of the non-resident or if it relates to an interest in immovable property in South Africa. With effect from
1 October 2007, gains realised on the sale of shares are automatically deemed to be on capital account, and therefore, subject to capital gains tax, if the shares have been held for a
continuous period of at least three years by the holder thereof. This deeming provision is limited to ordinary shares and does not extend to preference shares or ADSs. The meaning of the word
"resident" is different for individuals and corporations and is governed by the South African Income Tax Act of 1962 (the Act) and by the Treaty. In the event of conflict, the Treaty, which contains a
tie breaker clause or mechanism to determine residency if a holder is resident in both countries, will prevail. In terms of the Act and the Treaty, a US resident holder of shares or ADSs will not be
subject to capital gains tax on the disposal of securities held as capital assets unless the securities are linked to a permanent establishment conducted in South Africa. In contrast, gains on the
disposal of securities which are not capital in nature are usually subject to income tax. However, even in the latter case, a US resident holder will not be subject to income tax unless the US
resident holder carries on business in South Africa through a permanent establishment situated therein. In such a case, this gain may be subject to tax in South Africa, but only so much as is
attributable generally to that permanent establishment for so long as it does not constitute a repurchase of shares. If the repurchase of shares constitutes a general repurchase of securities (as
opposed to a specific repurchase of securities) in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, the repurchase will not deemed to be a dividend.

Securities transfer tax

With effect from 1 July 2008, a single security transfer tax of 0,25% was introduced and is applicable to all secondary
transfers of shares. No securities transfer tax (STT) is payable on the issue of securities, even though it is payable on the redemption of securities. STT is payable in South Africa regardless of
whether the transfer is executed within or outside South Africa. A transfer of a dematerialised share can only occur in South Africa.

A
security is also defined as a depository receipt in a company. Accordingly, STT is payable on the transfer of a depository receipt issued by a company. Generally, the central
securities depository that has been accepted as a participant in terms of the Securities Services Act 2004(to be substituted by the Financial Markets Act, No. 19 of 2012) is liable for the
payment of the STT, on the basis that the STT is recoverable from the person to whom the security is transferred.

United States federal income taxation

The following is a general summary of the material US federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares or
ADSs to a US holder (as defined below) that holds its shares or ADSs as capital assets. This summary is based on US tax laws, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
Treasury regulations, rulings, judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, all as of the date of this annual report, and all of which are subject to change or changes in interpretation,
possibly with retroactive effect. In addition, this summary is based in part upon the representations of the Depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement relating to the
ADSs and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

This
summary does not address all aspects of US federal income taxation that may apply to holders that are subject to special tax rules, including US expatriates, insurance companies,
tax-exempt organisations, banks, financial institutions, regulated investment companies, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, securities broker-dealers, traders in securities who elect to
apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, persons holding their shares or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedging transaction or conversion transaction, persons who acquired their shares or ADSs
pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or similar derivative securities or otherwise as compensation,
persons who directly or indirectly hold more than 10% of the total combined voting power of Sasol's shares or persons whose functional currency is not the US dollar. Such holders may be subject to US
federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below.

As
used herein, the term "US holder" means a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs that is:



If
a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes) holds shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend
upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership that holds shares or ADSs is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the specific tax
consequences of the ownership and disposition of the shares or ADSs.

US
holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific South African and US federal, state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of shares or ADSs in light
of their particular circumstances as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction. In particular, US holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding
whether they are eligible for benefits under the Treaty.

For
US federal income tax purposes, a US holder of ADSs should be treated as owning the underlying shares represented by those ADSs. The following discussion (except where otherwise
expressly noted) applies equally to US holders of shares and US holders of ADSs. Furthermore, deposits or withdrawals of shares by a US holder for ADSs or ADSs for shares will not be subject to US
federal income tax.

Taxation of distributions

Distributions (without reduction of South African withholding taxes, if any) made with respect to shares or ADSs (other than certain
pro rata distributions of Sasol's capital stock or rights to subscribe for shares of Sasol's capital stock) are includible in the gross income of a US holder as foreign source dividend income on the
date such distributions are received by the US holder, in the case of shares, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, to the extent paid out of Sasol's current or accumulated earnings and profits,
if any, as determined for US federal income tax purposes ("earnings and profits"). Any distribution that exceeds Sasol's earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to
the extent of the US holder's tax basis in the shares or ADSs (thereby reducing a US holder's tax basis in such shares or ADSs) and thereafter as either long-term or short-term capital gain (depending
on whether the US holder has held shares or ADSs, as applicable, for more than one year as of the time such distribution is actually or constructively received).

The
amount of any distribution paid in foreign currency, including the amount of any South African withholding tax thereon, will be included in the gross income of a US holder in an
amount equal to the US dollar value of the foreign currency calculated by reference to the spot rate in effect on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received by the US holder, in the
case of shares, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the foreign currency is converted into US dollars at such time. If the foreign currency is converted into US dollars on
the date of receipt, a US holder of shares generally should not be required to recognise foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend. If the foreign currency received in the distribution
is not converted into US dollars on the date of receipt, a US holder of shares will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its US dollar value on the date of receipt.

Any
gain or loss recognised upon a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency will be treated as US source ordinary income or loss. In the case of a US holder of
ADSs, the amount of any distribution paid in a foreign currency ordinarily will be converted into US dollars by the Depositary upon its receipt. Accordingly, a US holder of ADSs generally will not be
required to recognise foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the distribution. Special rules govern and specific elections are available to accrual method taxpayers to determine the US dollar
amount includable in
income in the case of taxes withheld in a foreign currency. Accrual basis taxpayers therefore are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements and elections applicable in this
regard.

Subject
to certain limitations (including a minimum holding period requirement), South African dividend withholding taxes (as discussed above under "TaxationSouth African
taxationTaxation of dividends") will be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a US holder's US federal income tax liability. For this purpose, dividends distributed by
Sasol with respect to shares or ADSs generally will constitute foreign source "passive category income" for most US holders. The use of foreign tax credits is subject to complex conditions and
limitations. In lieu of a credit, a US holder may instead elect to deduct any such foreign income taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year, provided that the US holder elects to deduct (rather than
credit) all foreign income taxes paid or accrued for the taxable year. A deduction for foreign taxes is not subject to the same limitations applicable to foreign tax credits. US holders are urged to
consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits.

Dividends
paid by Sasol will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to US corporations in respect of dividends received from other US corporations.
Certain non-corporate US holders are eligible for preferential rates of US federal income tax in respect of "qualified dividend income". For this purpose, qualified dividend income generally includes
dividends paid by a non-US

Table of Contents

corporation
if, among other things, the US holders meet certain minimum holding periods and the non-US corporation satisfies certain requirements, including that either:



Sasol
currently believes that dividends paid with respect to its shares and ADSs should constitute qualified dividend income for US federal income tax purposes and Sasol anticipates that
its dividends will be reported as qualified dividends on Form 1099-DIV delivered to US holders. In computing
foreign tax credit limitations, non-corporate US holders may take into account only a portion of a qualified dividend to reflect the reduced US tax rate applicable to such dividend. Each individual US
holder of shares or ADSs is urged to consult his own tax advisor regarding the availability to him of the preferential dividend tax rate in light of his own particular situation and regarding the
computations of his foreign tax credit limitations with respect to any qualified dividend income paid by Sasol to him, as applicable.

The
US Treasury has expressed concern that parties to whom ADSs are released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of creditability of withholding taxes or the
preferential tax rates in respect of qualified dividends by US holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the analysis of the foreign tax credits or availability of qualified dividend treatment could be affected
by future actions that may be taken by the US Treasury with respect to ADSs.

Sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of shares or ADSs

Upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of shares or ADSs, a US holder generally will recognise capital gain or loss for US
federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount realised on the disposition and the US holder's adjusted tax basis, determined in US dollars,
in the shares or ADSs. Such gain or loss generally will be US source gain or loss, and generally will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if the holder's holding period in the shares or
ADSs exceeds one year at the time of disposition. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations. If the US holder is an individual, long term capital gain generally is
subject to US federal income tax at preferential rates.

The
tax basis of shares purchased with foreign currency will generally be the US dollar value of the purchase price on the date of purchase, or the settlement date for the purchase, in
the case of shares traded on an established securities market that are purchased by a cash basis US holder (or an accrual basis US holder that so elects). The amount realised on a sale or other
disposition of shares for an amount in foreign currency will be the US dollar value of this amount on the date of sale or disposition (in the case of an accrual basis US holder or) the date payment is
received (in the case of a cash basis US holder). On the settlement date, the US holder will recognise the US source foreign currency gain or loss (taxable as ordinary income or loss) equal to the
difference (if any) between the US dollar value of the amount received based in the exchange rates in effect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. However, in the case of
shares traded on an established securities market that are sold by a cash basis US holder (or an accrual basis US holder that so elects), the amount realised will be based on the exchange rate in
effect on the settlement date for the sale, and no exchange gain or loss will be recognised at that time. If an accrual basis US holder makes an election described above, it must be applied
consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

If
any South African income tax is withheld on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of shares or ADSs, the amount realised by a US holder will include the gross amount of the
proceeds of

223

---



Table of Contents

that
sale, exchange or other taxable disposition before deduction of the South African income tax withheld. Any gain and loss recognised by a US holder in respect of the sale, exchange or other
taxable disposition of shares or ADSs generally will be treated as derived from US sources for foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, in the case of a gain from the disposition of shares or ADSs
that is subject to South African income tax (see "TaxationSouth African taxationTaxation of gains on sale or other disposition" above), the US holder may not be able to
benefit from the foreign tax credit for that South African income tax (i.e., because the gain from the disposition would be US source), unless the US holder can apply the credit against US
federal income tax payable on other income from foreign sources. Alternatively, the US holder may take a deduction for the South African income tax, provided that the US holder elects to deduct all
foreign income taxes paid or accrued for the taxable year.

Passive foreign investment company considerations

This summary assumes and Sasol believes that it will not be classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) for US federal
income tax purposes for the taxable year ended 30 June 2013. US holders are advised, however, that this conclusion is a factual determination that must be made annually and thus may be subject
to change. If Sasol were to be classified as a PFIC, the tax on distributions on its shares or ADSs and on any gains realised upon the disposition of its shares or ADSs may be less favourable than as
described herein. Furthermore, dividends paid by a PFIC are not "qualified dividend income" and are not eligible for the reduced rates of taxation for certain dividends. In addition, each US person
that is a shareholder of a PFIC, may be required to file an annual report disclosing its ownership of shares in a PFIC and certain other information. US holders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the application of the PFIC rules (including applicable reporting requirements) to their ownership of the shares or ADSs.

US information reporting and backup withholding

Dividend payments made to a holder and proceeds paid from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of shares or ADSs may be subject to
information reporting to the IRS. US federal backup withholding generally is imposed on specified payments to persons who fail to furnish required information. Backup withholding will not apply to a
holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number or certificate of foreign status and makes any other required certification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. US
persons who are required to
establish their exempt status generally must provide IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) or applicable substitute form. Non-US holders generally will not
be subject to US information reporting or backup withholding. However, these holders may be required to provide certification of non-US status (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN or applicable
substitute form) in connection with payments received in the United States or through certain US-related financial intermediaries.

Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder's US federal income tax liability. A holder may obtain a refund of
any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

Additional reporting requirements

Under recently enacted legislation, certain US holders who are individuals may be required to report information relating to their
ownership of shares or ADSs, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares or ADSs held in accounts maintained by certain US financial institutions). US holders should consult their
tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of the shares or ADSs.

The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the depositary for Sasol's American Depositary Shares (ADSs). Sasol's ADSs, each representing one
Sasol ordinary share, are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SSL". The ADSs are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs, issued by The Bank of New York
Mellon, as Depositary, under the Deposit Agreement (dated as of 14 July 1994, as amended and restated as of 6 March 2003), among The Bank of New York Mellon, Sasol Limited and its
registered ADR holders. ADR holders are required to pay the following service fees to the Depositary:

In addition, all non-standard out-of-pocket administration and maintenance expenses, including but not limited to, any and all reasonable legal
fees and disbursements incurred by the Depositary (including legal opinions, and any fees and expenses incurred by or waived to third-parties) will be paid by the company. Fees and out-of-pocket
expenses for the servicing of non-registered ADR holders and for any special service(s) performed by the Depositary will be paid for by the company.

12.D.4 Depositary payments for 2012 and 2013

In terms of the Amended and Restated Deposit Letter Agreement dated as of 5 May 2011 (the Letter Agreement), the Depositary will
reimburse the company up to US$250 000 for expenses related to the ADR programme including, but not limited to, investor relations expenses and listing fees or any other program related
expenses on the anniversary date of the company's listing on the New York Stock Exchange. In the event that the number of American depository shares outstanding increases by 10 million from the
number outstanding on the effective date of the Letter Agreement, the reimbursement amount for that year increases by US$100 000. On 27 September 2012 and 26 June 2013, the
Depositary reimbursed the company an amount of US$350 000 for expenses relating to the depositary receipt facility for the period up to 9 April 2012 and 9 April 2013
respectively.

ITEM 15.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The
company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, based on their evaluation of the effectiveness of the group's disclosure controls and procedures (required by
paragraph (b) of 17 CFR 240.13a-15) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report of Form 20-F, have concluded that, as of such date, the company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective.

Management
of Sasol is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to assess the effectiveness of Sasol's internal control over financial reporting as of the
end of each financial year and report, based on that assessment, whether the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Sasol's
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide reasonable assurance
as to the reliability of Sasol's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorisations of our management and directors; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management
assessed the effectiveness of Sasol's internal control over financial reporting as of 30 June 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992)". Based on this assessment, our management has determined that,
as of 30 June 2013, Sasol's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended 30 June 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting as at 30 June 2013.

ITEM 16.A    AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Mr. Colin Beggs, an independent member of the audit committee and its chairman since 1 January 2011, was determined by
our board to be the audit committee's financial expert within the meaning of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in accordance with the Rules of the NYSE and the SEC.

ITEM 16.B    CODE OF ETHICS

Sasol has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including the chief executive officer,
our chief financial officer and our controller. Our code of ethics consists of four fundamental ethical
principlesresponsibility, honesty, fairness and respect. The code is supported by a "guidelines to the code of ethics" document which provides details on 15 ethical standards. These
ethical standards cover issues such as bribery and corruption, fraud, insider trading, legal compliance, conflicts of interests, human rights and discrimination. They include a commitment to
conducting our business with due regard to the interests of all our stakeholders and the environment. The code embodies a requirement of compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as a
minimum standard.

Employee
performance compared against our values, which incorporate the code of ethics, is assessed as part of our performance appraisal system. Any amendment or waiver of the code as it
relates to our chief executive officer or chief financial officer will be posted on our website within five business days following such amendment or waiver. No such amendments or waivers are
anticipated.

The
code of ethics has been communicated to employees, suppliers, service providers and customers and is available on our internet website. Our ethics website address is www.sasolethics.com. This website is
not incorporated by reference in this annual report. A copy of the Code of Ethics can also be specifically
requested by sending an email togroupethicsoffice@sasol.comwith your postal details and a copy will be posted to you, without charge.

We
have been operating an independent ethics reporting telephone line through external advisors since 2002. This confidential and anonymous ethics hotline provides an impartial facility
for all stakeholders to report deviations from ethical behaviour, including fraud and unsafe behaviour or environment. These calls are monitored and the progress on their resolution is reported to the
audit committee on a regular basis. We view the following hotlines as an essential mechanism for maintaining the highest levels of ethical behaviour: South Africa: 0800016017; Canada: 18554218968;
China: 4001203284; Germany: 08001825967; Italy: 800786522; Singapore: 1800-2163302; United Kingdom: 08000324498; United States of America: 18004891727.

The
ethics hotline continues to be well utilised and 699 calls were received and investigated in 2013, representing a 35% increase from the previous year. This is attributed to an
increased focus on managing ethics at a senior and top management level, as well as clear tone at the top to promote zero tolerance towards unethical behaviour. Our code of ethics guides our
interactions with all government representatives. Our policy prohibits contributions to political parties or government officials since they may be interpreted as an inducement for future beneficial
treatment, and as interference in the democratic process.

(1)In
respect of our audit committee approval process, all of the non-audit and audit fees paid to KPMG Inc. have been pre-approved by the audit
committee.


Audit fees consist of fees billed for the annual audit of the company's consolidated financial statements, review of the group's internal controls
over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the audit of statutory financial statements of the company's subsidiaries, including fees billed for
assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or reviews of the company's financial statements that are services that only an external auditor can
reasonably provide.

Audit-related
fees consist of the review of documents filed with regulatory authorities, consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards, review of security
controls and operational effectiveness of systems, due diligence related to acquisitions and employee benefit plan audits.

Tax
fees include fees billed for tax compliance services, including assistance in the preparation of original and amended tax returns; tax consultations, such as assistance in connection
with tax audits and appeals; tax advice relating to acquisitions, transfer pricing, and requests for rulings or technical advice from tax authorities; and tax planning services and expatriate tax
compliance, consultation and planning services.

All
other fees consist of fees billed which are not included under audit fees, audit related fees or tax fees.

Audit committee approval policy

In accordance with our audit committee approval policy, all audit and non-audit services performed for us by our independent
accountants were approved by the audit committee of our board of directors, which concluded that the provision of such services by the independent accountants was compatible with the maintenance of
that firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

In
terms of our policy, non-audit services not exceeding R500 000 that fall into the categories set out in the pre-approval policy, do not require pre-approval by the audit
committee, but are pre-approved by the chief financial officer. The audit committee is notified of each such service at its first meeting following the rendering of such service. All non-audit
services exceeding R500 000 but not exceeding
R2 million, are pre-approved by the audit committee chairman and the audit committee is notified at the first meeting following the granting of such approval. Fees in respect of non-audit
services exceeding R2 million, require pre-approval by the audit committee, prior to engagement.

The
total aggregate amount of non-audit fees in any one financial year must be less than 20% of the total audit fees for Sasol's annual audit engagement, unless otherwise directed by the
audit committee. In addition, services to be provided by the independent accountants that are not within the category of approved services must be approved by the audit committee prior to engagement,
regardless of the service being requested and the amount, but subject to the restriction above.

232

Table of Contents

Requests
or applications for services that require specific separate approval by the audit committee are required to be submitted to the audit committee by both management and the
independent accountants, and must include a detailed description of the services to be provided and a joint statement confirming that the provision of the proposed services does not impair the
independence of the independent accountants.

No
work was performed by persons other than the principal accountant's employees on the principal accountant's engagement to audit Sasol Limited's financial statements for 2013.

ITEM 16.F    CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

After more than 25 years service from our independent registered auditor, KPMG Inc. (KPMG), our audit committee approved an
auditor rotation policy and the replacement of KPMG as auditor at the end of 2013.

On
12 February 2013, the audit committee selected PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (PwC) as the Sasol group's independent registered auditor for 2014. The appointment is subject
to approval by
shareholders at the company's annual general meeting scheduled for 22 November 2013. Once such approval is obtained, KPMG will cease to act as Sasol's independent registered auditor. The change
of auditors was made pursuant to prevailing corporate governance practice and not as a result of KPMG's resignation, dismissal or declination to stand for re-election.

The
reports of KPMG on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended 30 June 2012 and 2013 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During
the two fiscal years ended 30 June 2012 and 2013, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure
or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference thereto in their reports on our consolidated financial
statements for such fiscal years.

During
the two fiscal years ended 30 June 2012 and 2013, there were no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

We
requested KPMG to furnish us with a copy of a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as
exhibit 99.4 to this annual report.

During
the two fiscal years ended 30 June 2012 and 2013, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted with PwC concerning (i) the application of accounting
principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements and no written or oral advice was provided
by PwC that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
disagreement (as that term is used in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F) or a "reportable event" (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of
Form 20-F).

ITEM 16.G    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Sasol maintains a primary listing of its ordinary shares and Sasol BEE ordinary shares on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange operated
by the JSE Limited (JSE) and a listing of American Depositary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Accordingly, the company is subject to the on-going disclosure, corporate governance and
other requirements imposed by legislation in both jurisdictions, the JSE, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the NYSE. We have implemented controls to provide reasonable
assurance of our compliance with all relevant requirements in respect of our listings. These include the South African Companies Act, 71 of 2008, (the Companies Act), the JSE Listings Requirements,
and the SEC, the NYSE and US legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), insofar as it applies to foreign companies listed on the NYSE. We apply all 75 principles of the King III Code of
Governance for South Africa (King III Code). In a few areas we are of the view that, while we are applying the recommended practice, additional enhancements can be adopted over time in line with our
objective to continuously improve our corporate governance practices. A comprehensive statement outlining our application of each of the 75 principles is available on our website at www.sasol.com.
This website is not incorporated by reference in this annual report.

We
have compared our corporate governance practices to those for domestic US companies listed on the NYSE and confirm that we comply substantially with such NYSE corporate governance
standards, with the exception of the following significant differences:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The
Board of Directors and Shareholders of Sasol Limited

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Sasol Limited and its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2013, 30 June 2012 and 30 June
2011, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. We also have audited Sasol Limited's
internal control over financial reporting as of 30 June 2013, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Framework
(1992)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Sasol
Limited's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanyingManagement's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on Sasol Limited's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sasol Limited and its subsidiaries as of
30 June 2013, 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, Sasol Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of 30 June 2013, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992)issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission.

TABLE 4 NOTES AND DEFINITIONS

The definitions of categories of reserves used in this disclosure are consistent with those set forth in the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission:

Proved
Reserves of oil and gasThose quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be
recoverable commercially and be economically produciblefrom a given date forward, from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government
regulationsprior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or
probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract hydrocarbons must be approved and must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the
project within a reasonable time. Additionally Sasol

G-5

---



Table of Contents

requires
that natural oil and gas Reserves will be produced by a "project sanctioned by all internal and external parties".

Existing
economic conditions define prices and costs at which economic producibility is to be determined. The price is the average sales price during the 12-month period prior to the
ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by
contractual arrangements. Future price changes are limited to those provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end. At the reporting date, product sales prices were determined by
existing contracts for the majority of Sasol's natural oil and gas reserves. Costs comprise development and production expenditure, assessed in real terms, applicable to the reserves class being
estimated.

Depending
upon the status of development Proved Reserves of oil and gas are subdivided into "Proved Developed Reserves" and "Proved Undeveloped Reserves".

Proved
Developed ReservesThose Proved Reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods (or in which the
cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well) and through installed
extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Proved
Undeveloped ReservesThose Proved Reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major
expenditure is required before production can commence.

The
definitions of the changes to Proved Reserves estimates used in this disclosure are consistent with FASB ASC 932-235-50-5. Also included, where material, are changes resulting from
Commercial Arrangements or Operational Factors as defined below.

Commercial
ArrangementsThe Reserves change category used to describe changes in reserves estimates resulting from new or amendments to existing petroleum licensing
agreements (granting instrument); venture operating agreements, unit and pre-unit agreements; transportation, processing and operating services agreements; product sale or supply agreements; lifting
and off-take agreements.

Operational
FactorsThe Reserves change category used to describe changes in reserves estimates resulting from a change in production operations or maintenance philosophies
and practices that change the cost of operations.

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS

The standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows, relating to the Proved Reserves in Table 4, is calculated in
accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the requirements of FASB ASC Section 932-235.

Future
cash inflows are computed by applying the prices used in estimating Proved Reserves to the year-end quantities of those Reserves (see the Table 4 Notes and Definitions
above). Future development and production costs are computed by applying the costs used in estimating Proved Reserves.

Future
income taxes are computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pre-tax net cash flows
relating to the

G-7

---



Table of Contents

Reserves,
less the tax basis of the properties involved. The future income tax expenses therefore give effect to the tax deductions, tax credits and allowance relating to the Reserves.

Discounted
future net cash flows are the result of subtracting future development and production costs and future income taxes from the cash inflows. A discount rate of 10 percent
a year is applied to reflect the timing of the future net cash flows relating to the Reserves.

The
information provided here does not represent management's estimate of the expected future cash flows or value of the properties. Estimates of Reserves are imprecise and will change
over time as new information becomes available. Moreover, probable and possible Reserves along with other classes of resources, which may become Proved Reserves in the future, are excluded from the
calculations. The valuation prescribed under FASB ASC Section 932 requires assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs. The calculations are made as of
30 June each year and should not be relied upon as an indication of the companies' future cash flows or value of synthetic oil and natural oil and gas Reserves.

DescriptionAlkanolamines

Alkanolamines are a group of chemical compounds which are liquids ranging from being colourless to pale yellow in appearance.
Alkanolamines are derived from the reaction of ammonia and ethylene oxide. Simple alkanolamines are used as solvents, chemical precursors and high boiling bases in the form of curing agents, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors and
detergents.Alkylamines

Alkylamines are a group of chemical compounds derived from the reaction of ammonia and hydrocarbons. Alkylamines
are predominantly used in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs.Alkylates

Alkylation is the process of transferring an alkyl group from one molecule to another. The molecule to which the
alkyl group has been transferred to and which is a product of this reaction is then referred to as an alkylate. An example of such a reaction is the production of linear alkyl benzene (LAB), which is the reaction of an olefin with
benzene.Alpha olefin

An alpha olefin is an olefin or an alkene with a double bond located on the primary or alpha position of the
carbon chain or between the 1st and 2nd carbon atom. An alpha olefin can be linear or branched. Examples of alpha olefins are chemical compounds such as 1-pentene, 1-hexene and 1-octene manufactured by Sasol Solvents
