Exhibit 99.3 CHIEF FINANCIAL   OFFICER PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW In 2018, Sasol delivered a strong underlying   cash flow performance, underpinned by higher sales volumes and much higher   crude oil and product margins especially during the second half of the year.   We continued to see strong demand for our chemical products, which   contributed to this resilient cash earnings performance. Oil prices improved   to US$64 per barrel on average in 2018, compared to US$50 per barrel in the   prior year. The higher oil price and stronger demand for product,   particularly in the Performance Chemicals portfolio has resulted in higher   chemical prices. Base chemicals dollar basket prices increased by 12% and the   Performance Chemicals dollar basket price increased by 8% which positively   impacted on our margins. Fuel and energy products prices increased broadly in   line with higher dollar based oil prices. During 2018, the rand/US dollar   exchange rate averaged R12,85 compared to R13,61 for the prior year. The   stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate significantly impacted on the   results of our Chemicals businesses as a significant portion of their   business is exposed to foreign currency sales and capital expenditure. We do   remain cautious with regards to the impact of a volatile rand/US dollar exchange   rate on our business going forward. To mitigate against these risks, we are   of the view that our hedging programme is a key component of our financial   risk management framework to provide certainty as we manage peak gearing and   ensure sufficient liquidity for the company. We intend to continue with a   prudent hedging strategy following our peak gearing, to ensure effective   balance sheet management and to protect cash flows needed to execute on our   value based strategy.

Overview of   financial performance Earnings attributable to shareholders for the year   ended 30 June 2018 decreased by 57% to R8,7 billion from R20,4 billion in the   prior year. The stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate and the   negative impact of remeasurement items, largely driven by the stronger   longer-term rand exchange rate, resulted in a much lower profit and earnings   per share for the year. Our underlying cash flow performance was robust.   Earnings per share decreased by 22% to R27,44.

Turning to our cost performance, cash fixed costs   were up 2% in real terms in the first half of the year mainly as a result of   abovementioned planned and unplanned production interruptions. In the second   half of the year, we increased our focus on improving our cost efficiency and   managed to keep our normalised cash fixed costs (excluding growth and   once-off items) for the year flat in real terms. We are of the view that our   cost management processes remain robust to protect and improve our cost   competitive position and still positions us in managing our cost base to   within our inflation target, while ensuring that we maintain safe and   sustainable operations. Key sensitivities impacting our profitability   Once-off items includes an impairment of R5,2 billion on our South African   Chlor Vinyls cash generating unit, as a result of the continued and sustained   strengthening of the exchange rate outlook and the resulting impact on Base   Chemicals margins. The valuation of the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA)   was impacted by weaker long-term macroeconomic assumptions and lower than   expected oil volumes. This resulted in a partial impairment of R1,1 billion   (US$94 million), we impaired our Canadian shale gas assets by R2,8 billion in   the first half of the year due to a further decline in long-term gas prices   and we scrapped our US GTL project amounting to R1,1 billion (US$83 million).   Sasol experienced some challenges with regards to our operational performance   during the year, largely due to planned and unplanned production interruptions   at SSO, Natref and Mining which impacted production and sales volumes across   the value chain. Despite these interruptions, we delivered a stronger overall   operational performance in the second half of the year. Our production   run-rates during the fourth quarter of financial year 2018, on an annual   average basis, supports our internal targeted run-rates. Sales volumes   increased by 1% for our Performance Chemicals business spurred by robust   market demand despite Eskom electricity supply interruptions. Base Chemicals   reported a 1% decrease in sales volumes mainly due to production   interruptions at SSO and a stock build for our high density polyethylene   joint venture in the US. Excluding the impact of Eskom electricity supply   interruptions, sales volumes increased by 1%.

CHIEF FINANCIAL   OFFICER PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW (continued) Managing our funding plan, debt   profile and credit rating Debt profile Our long-term capital expansion   projects are financed by a combination of floating and fixed-rate long-term   debt, as well as internally generated funds. We endeavour to match debt to   the currency of the underlying revenue generation. Further details of how we   manage our capital structure is included on page 20. Net debt increased by   R40 billion in 2018 to R96 billion mainly due to the funding of the LCCP and   the higher valuation of US dollar debt funding at year end. Our debt was made   up as follows: Tax exposures which could impact our earnings We have two   significant tax disputes with South African Revenue Service (SARS) currently   in respect of our crude oil procurement process for Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd and   Sasol Financing International Plc (SFI), our offshore treasury company. Both   disputes are at different stages of the tax litigation process as Sasol does   not, supported by expect advice, agree with the basis of these additional   assessments. Further details of these disputes are provided in note 12 of our   Annual Financial Statements Managing cash and capital Cash generated by   operating activities Cash generated by operating activities decreased 3% to   R42,9 billion compared with R44,1 billion in the prior year. This is largely   attributable to a R3,8 billion increase in working capital. Our trade   receivables increased by R2,8 billion due to higher chemical sales prices and   higher volumes in June 2018 which translated into cash in July 2018.   Inventory increased by R3,4 billion mainly as a result of higher feedstock   costs as a result of the increase in crude oil prices compared to the   previous financial year. Inventory holding in days were slightly higher   compared to the previous financial year. Capital investments Over the past   three years, we have made capital investments of R184 billion, of which R53,4   billion was invested in 2018. We focused our investment mainly in projects in   South Africa, Mozambique and the United States, with some investments in   Germany and China. In 2018, R34 billion related to growth capital, mainly the   LCCP and R19 billion related to sustenance capital to ensure safe and   reliable operations. Additions to non-current assets (including capital   accruals) (R billion) We are actively reviewing our capital structure and   funding plan to ensure that we maintain an optimum solvency and liquidity   profile. The unwinding of the Inzalo transaction has been structured to   ensure that our credit ratings are maintained at investment grade and with   the least amount of dilution to our shareholders. The Board approved that   Sasol repurchase the shares from Inzalo Public and settle the outstanding   debt of R7,4 billion and a cash top-up for value realised of approximately   R600 million in September 2018, assuming a share price of R500. This step   will eliminate any shareholder dilution as a result of the unwind of the   Sasol Inzalo B-BBEE structure. Our debt profile at 30 June analysed by   currency was: 80 70 60 s0 40 30 20 10 Due to the funding of the LCCP, more   than 80% of our debt is now US dollar denominated. Given the significantly   weaker closing exchange rate of R13,73 and the related translation loss of   R4,8 billion arising on the valuation of the balance sheet at year-end,   gearing increased to 43,2%, which is slightly below our internal ceiling and   market guidance. Included in net debt is R6,1 billion of new finance leases   mainly relating to Oxygen Train 17 in Secunda and rail storage facilities at   the LCCP. Growth Sustenance 0 14 15 16 17 18 Our capital investment in South   Africa was R18 billion in 2018, which is approximately 35% of the total   capital investment for the year. Further details of additions to our   non-current assets is provided in notes 17 and 18 of our Annual Financial   Statements. Cash utilisation In 2018, the cash outflow of our capital   investment programme exceeded the cash retained from operating activities by   R27 billion. Cash utilisation (R billion) Solvency and liquidity The Group   meets its financing requirements through a mixture of cash generated from its   operations and short-and long-term borrowings. We maintain adequate banking   facilities and reserve borrowing capacities. Sasol is in compliance with all   of the financial covenants of its loan agreements, none of which is expected   to present a material restriction on funding or its investment policy in the   near future. We believe that cash on hand and funds from operations, together   with our existing borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to cover our   working capital and debt service requirements in the year ahead. 80 70 60 50   40 30 20 10 Cash retained from operating activities Additions to non-current   assets 0 14 15 16 17 18 2018 % 2017 Rand US dollar Euro Other 19 044 91 131   530 784 1720 922 82 59 391  3 063 1777 111 489 100 84 153 2018 20172016   Long-term debt Short-term debt Bank overdraft 109 454 1 946 89 81 405 79 877   2 625138 123136 Total debt Less cash (excluding cash restricted for use) 111   489 15 148 84 15380 151 27 643 49 985 Net debt/(cash) 96 341 56 51030 166


Credit ratings   Our credit rating is influenced by some of our more significant risks. These   include crude oil price volatility, movements in the sovereign credit rating   of South Africa, our investments in developing countries and their particular   associated economic risks, the potential for significant debt increase and   the execution challenges associated with a number of our planned growth   projects if they materialise simultaneously, as well as the risks arising   from potential increases in capital costs associated with these projects. In   January 2018, S&P Global Ratings affirmed Sasols credit rating at a   BBB-/A-3 with a stable outlook. This is two notches above the South African   sovereign credit rating and is at investment grade. Similarly Moodys Investors   Service (Moodys) confirmed South Africas Baa3 changing the rating from   negative to stable in March 2018, while affirming Sasols global scale   long-term issuer ratings at Baa3, adjusting the outlook from negative to   stable. Sasols national scale long-term rating was affirmed at Aaa.za.   Moodys has delinked Sasol from the South African sovereign rating by one   notch. Analysing our shareholding and returns to shareholders Shareholding   Sasols shareholder base consists primarily of large institutional shareholders,   with varying investment styles, concentrated in South Africa. With the LCCP   coming on line, our international portfolio is becoming more significant. As   a result, our aim is to achieve a broad correlation between the distribution   of our shareholder base and the sources of cash-generation for the Sasol   Group. This means that we will specifically target a larger number of   US-based investors in future. Total shareholder return We return value to our   shareholders by way of both dividends and share price appreciation. Total   shareholder return (TSR) is a measure of the performance of the Groups   shares over time, and combines both share price appreciation and dividends   paid to indicate the total return to a shareholder over the period. Sasols   TSR for the five-year period ending 30 June 2018 was 40% in rand terms and 1%   in US dollar terms. The performance of the share price was influenced by a   combination of factors such as market sentiment, the volatile rand/US dollar   exchange rate due to political uncertainty and global impacts. The steady   increase of the crude oil price and the LCCP coming online increased the   market interest in Sasol which further contributed to the share price   performance. To maximise TSR, the Group has put measures in place to:  refine   our strategy setting a clear path to deliver sustainable value-based growth;    define a disciplined capital allocation framework for improving shareholder   returns;  improve project execution by implementing lessons learnt from   previous projects;  actively manage the balance sheet to address external   volatility;  focus on Continuous Improvement to address the structural shift   in the energy landscape by improving the efficiency of our operations; and    work with government and other stakeholders to manage the impact of   regulations on Sasols South African business. Dividends Our dividend policy   is to pay dividends within a dividend cover range based on Core HEPS. Taking   into account the impact of the current volatile macroeconomic environment,   capital investment plans, the current gearing range of 43,2%, and the   dividend cover range, the Board has declared a gross final dividend of R12,90   per ordinary share and Sasol BEE ordinary share. The dividend cover was 2,8   times at 30 June 2018. The dividend demonstrates our commitment to return   value to shareholders through dividend payments. Appreciation I would like to   thank my colleagues on the Board and the Group Executive Committee for their   support and leadership during this challenging year. I also wish to express   my appreciation for the dedication and hard work of our finance teams across   the group. Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders for their interest   and investment in Sasol. Paul Victor Chief Financial Officer 27 August 2018
