Reports of CEF acquiring Sasol’s fuel retail network dismissed

Chemicals and energy group Sasol has dismissed reports that it plans to sell its fuel retail business as part of an ongoing asset disposal process, while the State-owned Central Energy Fund (CEF) has described as “malicious” reports that it is in talks to acquire Sasol’s petrol stations. Sasol CFO Paul Victor reiterated that the cash-strapped group was in the process of reviewing opportunities to divest from noncore assets but said in a statement that it remained committed to a strategy of growing its fuel retail presence in South Africa.
