<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">UPDATED TRADING ANNOUNCEMENT</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In its Interim
Profit Announcement published on 11 March 2003, Sasol advised it was likely
that attributable earnings for the full financial year ending 30 June 2003
would be less than those of the previous financial year. Reference was made to
wide-spread uncertainty in global markets and the slowing down of the world&#146;s
major economies, as well as the unexpected further strengthening of the Rand.
With respect to its chemicals portfolio, Sasol referred to some of these
businesses being exposed to serious margin pressures because of intense
competition and higher energy-related feedstock costs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In subsequent
months and contrary to in-house expectations and those of many economists and
financial institutions, the Rand continued to strengthen with a corresponding
adverse impact on trading revenues and translation effects.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Furthermore,
chemical margins particularly in Europe and North America were burdened by
intensified pressure and reduced to very low levels and, in some cases, losses.
Consequently, on 6 June 2003, Sasol issued a trading announcement cautioning
that on the basis of prevailing assumptions it anticipated its attributable
earnings for the financial year ending 30 June 2003 to be of the order of 22%
below those of the previous financial year.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At the end of
June, the closing Rand/US$ exchange rate of R7,50 : US$1,00 was significantly
stronger than an expected rate of R8,28 : US$1,00 that was used when the
trading announcement was made earlier in June. This has resulted in further
adverse currency effects of some hundreds of millions of Rands. Because of
these effects, and consistent with the earlier announcements that earnings for
the full financial year will be less than those of the previous year, Sasol
currently anticipates its attributable earnings on a comparable basis to be
approximately 26% lower for the financial year that ended on 30 June 2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This estimate has
been calculated using the same International Accounting Standards (IAS) used in
the financial year preceding the financial year that ended on 30 June 2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">However,
standardizing the accounting treatment of borrowing costs under International
Accounting Standards (IAS) and United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (US GAAP) will result in a positive effect on attributable earnings,
resulting in attributable earnings calculated on a comparable basis being about
22% lower than the previous reporting period.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Independent
Accountants Report on the profit estimate is available for inspection at the
offices of Sasol Limited.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It is still
anticipated that the total dividend for the year ending 30 June 2003 will be
the same as in the previous financial year, which will be within the Group&#146;s
targeted dividend cover range of 2,5 to 3,5.</font></p>
