Baloyi Simon sold $64K of SSL

Sasol has secured a deal to supply sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to White Desert for its polar trips, marking Africa's first commercial SAF supply agreement. The fuel, produced at Sasol's Natref plant using cooking and vegetable oils, received certification in April. Sasol aims to produce up to 100 million litres of SAF by 2030. White Desert's first flight using Sasol's SAF is scheduled for November.

Sasol (SSL) agreed to sell its nitrates business to Enaex Africa, retaining a 23% stake. The deal includes ammonia plants in South Africa. Terms were not disclosed. Completion is subject to regulatory approvals. Sasol aims to optimize its portfolio, while Enaex Africa seeks to strengthen its supply chain.

EVP Antje Gerber discussed restarting a paraffin unit to capture market opportunities and confirmed a 15-20% cost reduction target. Guidance for FY27 International Chemicals is $450M-$600M, assuming no repeat of Q4 FY26 tailwinds. Energy projects and CapEx reductions were also discussed, with a focus on ma
