Enclosures: SENS Announcement:
Project update: Oryx gas-to-liquids (GTL) Joint Venture
Sasol Limited
(Incorporated in South Africa)

("Sasol")
Project update: Oryx gas-to-liquids (GTL) Joint Venture
The Oryx gas-to-liquids (GTL) venture in Qatar, in which Sasol has a 49% shareholding, has
now been operational for more than three months. During this initial start-up period all systems,
process units, including the three main technologies, have been successfully tested and have
demonstrated design intent. This bodes well for our strategic ambition to grow our business
through GTL projects worldwide. Products that meet specification are being produced and the
first consignment was shipped to market during April.
As to be expected with a facility of this size and complexity, the plant has experienced start-up
operational challenges, most of these limited to individual pieces of equipment. The failure of the
steam super heater in the utility section, reported on during the second half of 2006, has been
the most significant to date. This problem has since been successfully resolved.
Operating rates are currently also limited to levels lower than planned. The biggest challenge
preventing ramp-up to the planned production rate is a higher than the design level of fine
material that is produced in the process and which then has to be handled downstream of the
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) units. This fine material is constraining the overall throughput of the
downstream units. A number of possible causes for this have been identified and plans are in
place to eliminate or remediate these over the coming months. The installation of additional
downstream equipment as a back-up solution to increase throughput has already been initiated
and this will be available for implementation towards the middle of 2008.
Over the last fifty years Sasol has successfully developed, implemented and operated several
generations of large-scale synthetic fuel plants. Based on this experience we are fully confident
that the abovementioned challenges will be overcome but in the interim they will unfortunately
prolong the ramp-up period. Until the production of fine material is reduced, the Oryx joint
venture will only generate a marginal cash contribution.
An update on Oryx’s performance will be provided at an appropriate time, but no later than
Sasol’s year end results presentation in September 2007.
“We are very pleased that the Oryx start-up has, despite these challenges, demonstrated the
potential of the world’s largest gas-to-liquids facility and that the process produces world-class
products. The remaining technical challenges will be resolved as speedily as possible so that full
production can be achieved,” said Lean Strauss, Group General Manager of Sasol International
Energy business.
Forward-looking statements: In this announcement we make certain statements that are not
historical facts and relate to analyses and other information based on forecasts of future results
not yet determinable, relating, amongst other things, to exchange rate fluctuations, volume
growth, increases in market share, total shareholder return and cost reductions. These are
forward-looking statements as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “seek”, “will”, “plan”, “could”, “may”,
“endeavour” and “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and, if one or more of these risks materialise,
or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may be very different from
those anticipated. The factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking statements are discussed more fully in our most recent annual report under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 20-F filed on 2 November 2006 and in other filings
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements apply
only as of the date on which they are made, and Sasol does not undertake any obligation to
update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
