Investigation launched into South Africa’s biggest petrol company

A criminal investigation has been launched into Sasol's Secunda operations, with the National Prosecuting Authority and environmental investigators scrutinizing the company's environmental practices. This probe follows a response to parliamentary questions, where Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister David Maynier shared details with National Assembly member Noluthando Makasi. The investigation's outcome, though still in its early stages, raises concerns about the company's compliance with environmental laws and the government's ability to hold it accountable.
