President Cyril Ramaphosa officially launched the rollout of Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injectable HIV prevention medication, in Secunda on June 5, with 360 public health facilities across six provinces ready to administer the treatment. Government aims to reach close to one-million people by the end of 2027 and three-million citizens over the next three years, supported by R1.3-billion in funding from the State, the Global Fund and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation.
Sasol faces mounting operational and financial pressures at SecundaA May 29 report warns that Sasol's Secunda operations face declining coal quality, feedstock constraints and ageing infrastructure, with production projected to fall to seven-million tonnes a year by 2030 and 6.4-million tonnes a year from 2034. About 27 000 direct and 425 000 indirect jobs depend on Sasol's South African operations, and the report urges immediate planning to mitigate job losses and community impacts as the just energy transition accelerates.
Sasol opens coal destoning plant to improve Secunda gasifier performanceSasol officially opened its R700-million Twistdraai Thubelisha destoning plant on March 13, which is already reducing average sinks content to below 14% and supporting improved production at Secunda Operations. The ten-million-tonne-a-year facility repurposes an export coal plant to remove rock fragments and impurities from coal fed to Secunda's gasifiers.
