Nameplate capacity represents the total saleable production
capacity. Due to the integrated nature of these facilities, the
requirement for regular statutory maintenance shutdowns and
market conditions, actual saleable volumes will be less than the
nameplate.
A sale and purchase agreement was concluded
in terms of which Sasol agreed to dispose of a 30%
interest in ROMPCO. We will retain a 20%
shareholding in ROMPCO and will continue to operate
and maintain the pipeline in terms of the commercial
agreement. Two of the existing shareholders, the South
African Gas Development Company Limited (iGas)
and Companhia Moçambicana de Gasoduto S.A.R.L.
(CMG), have recently exercised their pre-emptive right
to acquire 30% of our equity in ROMPCO. The sale
will therefore be concluded with iGas and CMG. This
process is underway, and will be subject to a number of
conditions precedent, including the standard regulatory
approvals.
