Sasol Appoints New Group Executive Committee Member

Johannesburg (ots/PRNewswire) -

Sasol today announced the appointment of Stephen Cornell as the
newest member of its management team. Cornell is currently the Chief
Operating Officer for US Fuels and Global Head of Major Projects at
BP plc. Reporting directly to Sasol's Chief Executive Officer, David
Constable, Cornell will be appointed as Sasol's Executive Vice
President: International Operations, with effect from 1 February
2014, based in Houston.

In November 2013, the new Group Executive Committee ("GEC")
structure was announced, which will be effective from 1 July 2014. At
the time, Sasol indicated that given the growing importance of its
international businesses, particularly in the United States, a
focused operations position at the GEC level had been created. In the
context of Sasol's redesigned operating model, this role will be
accountable for the group's operations outside of Southern Africa,
including Sasol's US mega-projects in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Cornell has extensive US domestic and international experience in
petrochemicals, refining and logistics, having worked in the industry
in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He has significant
business improvement experience, having reshaped BP's US fuels
business over a six-year period, through improved work processes,
divestiture of key assets and by driving the significant expansion of
the 413,000 barrels per day BP Whiting refinery. In addition, within
often complex operating environments, Cornell has first-hand
experience in large-scale capital projects, ensuring substantial
safety improvements and in embedding manufacturing excellence.

Constable said, "At a time when we are striving to enhance our own
performance levels at Sasol, it is exciting to have a leader join our
team, who is known for passionately driving high performance through
talent and capability development across all areas of the
organisation. With over three decades in the industry under his belt,
Steve is highly regarded by his peers as a commercial and strategic
leader with substantial chemical engineering experience."

Commenting on his appointment, Cornell said he was excited to be
making this change. "I could not be happier that my family and I have
now become part of the Sasol team. I strongly believe we can
capitalise on many opportunities in the global energy arena. This is
an important time in Sasol's history and I am certainly looking
forward to working with the team to continue building on the
Company's many successes."
