<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 a first step towards establishing an empowered liquid fuels
business, Sasol Oil and Exel Petroleum today applied to the Competition
Commission for approval to merge their businesses.</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;">Sasol chief executive, Pieter Cox said that if the merger is approved,
the merged company &#151; Sasol Liquid Fuels Business (&#147;LFB&#148;) &#151; will incorporate all
of the liquid fuels interests of both Sasol and Exel Petroleum.</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;">A response by the Competition Authority is expected by no later than 31
December 2003. Approval would enable the merged liquid fuels business to launch
its operation on 1 January 2004, which will also coincide with the termination
of the long standing Main Supply and Blue Pump agreements. Sasol gave notice of
its intention to end these agreements five years ago and they expire at the end
of December 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;">Cox said South African motorists would experience an excellent level of
service and convenience at the ultra-modern Sasol service stations being opened
in all provinces. Sasol will continue to utilise the successful Exel brand and
continue to roll out service stations in Exel colours.</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;">Exel chairman Jomo Sono said Exel will gain substantially: &#147;We shall
cover the entire value chain. We have a secure supply of product from the
industry leader. We will have greater access to capital and technology for
future expansion &#151; and the prospect of a meaningful share of SA&#146;s biggest and
most competitive fuel company.&#148;</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 LFB will include all of the two companies&#146; assets in the liquid
fuels business.&#160; They will cover the
entire value chain commencing with crude oil procurement for Sasol&#146;s 64% stake
in the Natref refinery and receiving blending components from the Synfuel
refinery in Secunda.&#160; All of Sasol Oil&#146;s
and Exel Petroleum&#146;s assets in distribution and marketing will be added as well
as Sasol Oil&#146;s assets in the marketing and storage of Fuel Oil and its shareholding
in companies such as Tosas (road binder business) and FFS (Fuel Firing
Systems).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Liquid Fuels Charter defines that empowerment needs to take place
in companies that are integrated and exposed to all facets of the value chain.</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;">Cox said he agreed with the provisions of the Charter that stated that
companies exposed to only one segment of the value chain were not sustainable
in the long run.&#160; The new company will
straddle the industry&#146;s production and distribution chain and will be able to
effectively compete with the other multi-national oil companies based in South
Africa.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Maurice Radebe, managing director of Exel Petroleum, will be managing
director of the Fuels Marketing Division of the restructured company.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cox said:&#160; &#147;This transaction is
a major win for both sides.&#160; Sasol gains
a proven empowerment partner, a partner we know well and admire.&#160; The transaction helps us to comply with the
Charter and launches us on the way to true empowerment.&#160; It also gives us greater access to the
retail and commercial markets.</font></p>

operating profit this year is expected to be over R100-million.&#160; It has reached a 3,7% share of the petrol
