Shares of the fuel and chemicals firm have gained about 47% this year — heading for its best performance since 2021 — as Baloyi, who became CEO last year, focuses on increasing output from the Secunda manufacturing hub in South Africa and turning around the international chemicals division ahead of a potential listing.

            <description><![CDATA[Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa’s insistence that the State will lead and the market follow in the procurement of new electricity generation, while simultaneously indicating that any new investment will be “off balance sheet” for government and, thus, funded by the private sector, has raised questions. The Minister made the statement at a briefing held to release details of the updated Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2025), which he argued set the policy framework and that “everyone will procure according to this policy”.

            <description><![CDATA[Transport Minister Barbara Creecy has issued a directive instructing the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) to renew the leases of existing liquid-bulk terminal operators in the Island View precinct at the Port of Durban for a further 25 years in a bid to ensure ongoing fuel security.

Transport Minister Barbara Creecy extended the lease agreements at the Island View Precinct at the request of the Fuels Industry Association of South Africa. The Minister used Section 79 of the National Ports Authority Act, which allowed her to circumvent normal procedures in the national interest.]]></description>
