Sasol boosts Secunda production by 20%. A decade late.

Sasol announced yesterday that it was boosting production at its Secunda plant by 20% by adding a new piece of kitt. If they had done this when every other refinery was doing the same thing, starting about 8 years back, the projected and current fuel shortages would have been staved off by a few years at least. No, at the time Sasol was in the throws of international acquisitions and used its Secunda expansion money for that purpose – funded by the taxpayer. Now the chickens have come home to roost and Sasol is adding 20% capacity – a decade late. Nice going guys. Congratulations on some really great planning.
