 With respect to the reasons for not reporting any related estimates
of mineral resources, the Company advises the Staff that all resources have been converted to either proved or probable reserves, resulting
in there currently being no extraneous undeclared resources to be disclosed. This information has been disclosed in the Executive Summary
of Exhibit 96.1 Mining Technical Report.

 2.

 Please disclose whether the qualified person who prepared the technical report summary is an employee of the company and if not then also name the employer of the qualified person and describe any affiliations with the company or other parties having an interest in the mines to comply with Item 1302(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.

 In response to the Staff's comment, the Company will in
future expand the disclosure in Property, plant & equipment of the Form 20-F to specifically indicate that the qualified person is
an employee of the Company, consistent with the disclosure provided on page 56 of Exhibit 96.1 Mining Technical Report.

 3.

 Please clarify whether any of the individual properties
 would be considered material, following the guidance in Item 1301(b) and (c) of Regulation S-K, and for any that are material, address
 the disclosure guidance in Item 1304 of Regulation S-K.
 Alternatively, if you do not regard any of your mines to
 be individually material, please explain to us how you formulated the view, considering the extent of integration and utility of the mining
 operations to your other business segments.

 The Company advises the Staff that it has reviewed all individual
mining properties owned in light of the guidance provided by Item 1301(b) and (c) of Regulation S-K. The Company submits that it has considered
both quantitative and qualitative factors and confirmed that the individual mining properties are not considered material in relation
to the Company's overall business and financial condition, but are material as combined mining properties. In the evaluation process
the Company took into account the value of the assets of the individual mining properties, the combined Mining segment as well as the
manner in which coal is supplied to the Company's downstream value chain.

 3

 The Company determined that no individual mining property exceeded
3% of the Company's total assets as of June 30, 2024 and, on a combined basis, the total Mining segment accounted for less than
6% of the Company's total asset value. Accordingly, the individual mining properties as well as the combined mining properties are
not considered material from a quantitative perspective.

 The Company has further evaluated the strategic objectives of
its mining operations in relation to the provision of coal feedstock to the downstream value chain and management practices employed to
ensure the effective utilization of coal.

 With respect to our mining properties in Bosjesspruit, Impumelelo,
Shondoni, Syferfontein and Twistdraai Thubelisha collieries, all forming part of the Secunda mining complex, more than 90% of the coal
supplied there is blended into a homogenous product that collectively feeds the downstream plants for further processing in the internal
Coal-to-Liquids value chain. The coal supplied from the Thubelisha mining property consists of export-quality coal (approximately one-quarter
of such coal) and low-cake middlings (approximately three-quarters of such coal). The low-cake middlings are supplied to the internal
value chain while the export-quality coal is supplied to the export market, and periodically redirected to the internal value chain as
needed. The coal supplied from the various Secunda mining properties can be supplemented by external coal purchases as needed.

 With respect to the Sigma Mooikraal Colliery, the coal supplied,
representing approximately 3-4% of the total coal mined by the Company, is combined with external coal purchases to supplement our own
production and fine coal sourced from the Secunda mining properties and blended into a homogenous product to meet the quality requirements
of the internal Sasolburg operations.

 This integration and interchangeability of the coal produced
by the mining properties reinforce the Company's position that the mining properties are individually not considered material from
a qualitative perspective.

 The Company considers the total consolidated mining properties
to be material to its business and financial position, given the dependency of the South African value chain on coal as an internal feedstock.

 Given that you filed one technical report summary having reserve information about all of your coal properties, it appears that you regard the mines to be collectively material but not individually material, relative to the guidance in Item 1302(b)(1) of Regulation S-K. Please clarify whether this is consistent with your assessment.

 4

 The Company refers the Staff to the response to comment 3. As
noted in that response, the Company considers its mining properties not to be individually material for the reasons provided, although
collectively the mining operations are considered material to the Company.

 5.

 The current technical report summary does not appear to
 include all of the information prescribed by Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B) of Regulation S-K. We have identified the various content topics
 (and corresponding subparagraph numbers) for which there appear to be substantive deficiencies in the following points.
 Please discuss these requirements with the qualified person(s)
 and arrange to obtain and file a revised technical report summary that provides all of the required content. Please also ensure that the
 cover of the report includes the effective date and the names of the mine(s) or complex covered by the report.

 We acknowledge the SEC staff's comment and agree to enhance
our disclosures as requested. However, we respectfully request that these changes be applied to our future filings, starting with our
Form 20-F for the year ending June 30, 2025. This approach will allow us to ensure that the necessary adjustments are thoroughly and accurately
incorporated into our reporting processes, having already commenced preparations for the June 30, 2025 reporting cycle.

 We believe that implementing these changes from our next filing
will provide the most accurate and comprehensive information to our investors and the SEC. We are committed to maintaining high standards
of transparency and compliance in our disclosures.

 Please let us know if this approach is acceptable or if further
clarification is needed. We are prepared to discuss any additional questions the staff may have.

 In response to the Staff's comment, we will revise the
disclosure on the cover page of the Mining Technical Report to include the effective date of the report and the mines covered in the report.

 Accessibility, climate, local resources, infrastructure and physiography (subparagraph 4)

 In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has
reviewed its disclosure in light of the guidance provided by subparagraph 4 of Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B) of Regulation S-K and intends to
revise the disclosure under the Infrastructure section of the Mining Technical Report as further described below. As described in the
revised disclosure, additional detail is provided around the topography, elevation, vegetation, access to the property and availability
of personnel and supplies infrastructure.

 - With regard to subparagraph 4 (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the following additional disclosure will be provided:

 The Secunda area is well served by national, provincial,
district and farm roads. The N17 highway connects Secunda to Johannesburg to the west. A railway line emanating from Springs in the West,
connects Secunda with Ermelo in the East, ultimately terminating in Richards Bay on the coast. Except for outcrops of Witwatersrand quartzite
and Ventersdorp lava, the Ecca Group sediments occur in a fairly ubiquitous manner with occasional dolerite intrusions. Elevations range
between 1500 and 1700 metres above mean-sea-level. The Secunda complex is intersected by a number of perennial rivers including Waterval,
Pieke, Klipspruit and De Beersspruit Rivers. Although the major streams consist of definite channels, the tributaries often consist of
broad wetlands without any channels. The larger streams are perennial, but water levels are low and flow is slow during winter. There
are a substantial number of farm dams in the area but few pans are present. Analysis of the temperatures indicate that the monthly temperature
maximum varies between 22°C – 32°C, and the minimum between -1°C – 11°C. Mean annual rain fall is approximately
700 mm, falling almost entirely during the summer season of October to April. Light snowfalls occur infrequently during winter months.
The area is located within the grassland biome of South Africa. The grassland biome is one of the most threatened biomes in South Africa,
due to agricultural and mining activities and 60-80 is irreversibly transformed, while only 2% is formally conserved. The Highveld coalfield
area is highly cultivated because of the relatively flat topography and good rainfall. Farming is mixed, with crops, cattle, sheep and
chicken farming forming the main activities and the main crops being maize, soya and wheat.

 Sasolburg is situated on the central plateau of South
Africa, characterized by a relatively flat landscape with some gentle undulations. The coal formations form part of the Ecca group, with
dolerites occurring towards the top of the deposit, with minimal intrusions into the coal seam.

 6

 The Vredefort impact crater to the west of Sasolburg
has an impact on the structure of the coal seams, resulting in severe dips and faults. Sasolburg is easily accessed via the R57 which
connect the N1 highway to Johannesburg. The area lies at an altitude ranging between 1400 and 1500 metres above sea level. The Vaal river
borders the area to the North and East, with several minor tributaries also occurring. This area typically receives between 600 and 700
mm of rainfall during the summer months from October to March. The temperature ranges from hot summers (>30°C) to cold winters
(4°C), occasionally dropping to below freezing. The area falls within the Grassland Biome, which is characterised as the second most
bio-diverse biome in South Africa. The vegetation is typically grassland with occasional tree cover and the area is mostly used for maize
and cattle farming.

 To ensure consistent daily running of operations, Sasol
Mining employs 9 500 permanent employees, mostly originating from the surrounding communities. The Sasol Mining Secunda operations utilises
9 000 of these permanent employees, with Sigma Mooikraal Colliery in Sasolburg employing the other 500. Sasol Mining also makes use of
about 6 800 hired labour employees. Service provider employees are also brought in to support the operations, with about 7 000 service
provider employees used for various tasks and roles across all operations.

 Sasol Mining has numerous suppliers that supply equipment
and spare parts as well as services to Sasol Mining, most of these suppliers operate within a 200km radius and service the coal mining
sector and general industry at large.

 •

 History of mining operations on the property (subparagraph 5)

 As noted on page 2 of the Mining Technical Report, the Executive
Summary, the Company advises the Staff that the Company has operated the mining business from the beginning, hence there have been no
previous owners or operators of these mining properties.

 •

 Mineral resource estimates (subparagraph 11)

 7

 In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has
reviewed its disclosure in light of the guidance provided by subparagraph 11 of Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B) of Regulation S-K and intends
to revise the disclosure under the Mineral Resources Estimates section of the Mining Technical Report as further described below. As described
in the revised disclosure, additional detail is provided around the parameters used to estimate the mineral resources, the estimates of
cut-off grades, classification of mineral resources into inferred, indicated and measured mineral resources including the uncertainty
and sources of uncertainty considered and an opinion on whether the issues likely to influence the prospect of economic extraction can
be resolved.

 - With regard to subparagraph 11 (i), the following additional disclosure will be provided around parameters used to estimate the mineral
resources:

 In the estimation of resources there are no physical mining
height constraints applied, and the only quality parameter applied is a minimum of 28% Dry Ash Free Volatiles ( DAFV) to identify areas
where the coal is potentially devolatilised.

 - With regard to subparagraph 11 (iii), the disclosure requirements are addr

Mr Brad Skinner
Senior Assistant Chief Accountant
Office of Natural Resources
Securities and Exchange Commission
100 F Street, N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20549

Dear Mr. Skinner,

Sasol Limited Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Filed 9 October 2015
File No. 1-31615

We refer to the further comment letter, dated 30 August 2016, from the
staff of the Office of Natural Resources (the "Staff") continuing
correspondence relating to the Form 20-F (the "Filing") of
Sasol Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 30 June 2015. Set forth
below are the responses to the Staff's further comment letter, which have
been provided in each case following the text of the comment in the
Staff's letter.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future net Cash Flows Relating to Proved
Reserves, page G-9

1. Based on your response to comment one, it appears that the contracted
transportation capacity reservation costs must be incurred in order to
deliver your produced sales gas to market. Given this, it appears that the
portion of those costs incurred over the forecast life of your proved
reserves should be considered in determining the economic producibility of
those reserves. To the extent that the revenue from your proved reserves
does not offset the costs of operation, including applicable transportation
costs, the quantities would not be considered economically producible and
should not be reported as proved reserves.

Response
We agree with the Staff's observation that transportation costs must be
incurred in order to deliver produced sales gas to market.

The Company would like to advise that Canada reserves represent 1,6% of
Sasol's Proved Reserves as at 30 June 2015.

Of the R 1 672,9 million future cost included in the Filing, only
R 166,6 million is actually required to transport the produced sales
gas to market; the remaining cost represents unused capacity which the
Company markets on an ad hoc basis. Although such marketing has been
successful in the past no future revenue from this marketing is included
in the calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future
net cash flows.

The Company has reviewed its calculation of proved reserves for financial
year 2015 by adjusting future net cash flows used to determine economic
producibility to include that portion of the transportation capacity
reservation cost which is actually required to transport the produced sales
gas to market (the "applicable transportation costs"). The effect of this
change is to reduce the period of economic production by a maximum of one
year, with a resulting small reduction in the proved reserves. The 2015
proved reserves are consequently reduced from 116,8 billion cubic feet to
115,1 billion cubic feet. This reduction represent a 0,02% change in
Sasol's Proved Reserves as at 30 June 2015. The impact on the financial
results of the Company is also considered immaterial (depreciation would
have been R6 million higher which represents a 0,04% change in Sasol's
total depreciation for the period ending 30 June 2015).

Proved reserves for financial year 2013 and 2014 were estimated with
applicable transportation costs included in the calculation to determine
the period of economic production. There is therefore no revision or impact
on the 2013 and 2014 reserves as reported.

In all future filings, beginning with the annual report on Form 20-F for
the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company will ensure reserves are determined
with applicable transportation costs included in the calculation to determine
the period of economic production.

2. Please expand your disclosure to provide an explanation for the negative
undiscounted future net cash flows relating to proved reserves for Canada
and Gabon. Refer to FASB ASC 932-235-50-36.

Response
The Company has referred to the disclosure requirements under FASB ASC
932-235-50-36 and acknowledges the Staff's comment.

The Company has considered the impact of unutilised transportation cost on
the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. The Company
believes that including these costs in the standardized measure presented
in the Filing, combined with a suitable narrative, provides a fair
presentation to the user of the Form 20-F.

In all future filings, beginning with the annual report on Form 20-F for
the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company will revise the disclosure to
provide a narrative explanation for any negative undiscounted future net
cash flows relating to proved reserves.

Illustrative disclosure based on the Filing
The undiscounted future net cash flows for Canada in 2013, 2014 and 2015
and for Gabon in 2015 are negative as a result of future production and
development costs, primarily contractually committed costs and asset
retirement costs which are not directly related to future production or
dependent upon the continuation of production and will be incurred even in
the event of no future production. For both assets these costs are fully
responsible for the negative future cash flow.

In Canada, the cost of unused gas transportation capacity is included which
the Company markets on an ad hoc basis. Although such marketing has been
successful in the past no future revenue from this marketing is included
in the calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future
net cash flows.

We acknowledge that:
* The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filing;
* Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do
not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
and
* The Company may not assert Staff comments as a defence in any proceeding
initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of
the United States.

We appreciate the Staff's review of Filing. Should the Staff have any
questions or require any additional information, please telephone the
undersigned at +27-11-441-3422. My email address is

and the financial statements and therefore no restatement will be made.

Proved reserves for financial year 2013 and 2014 were estimated with

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Reserves, page
G-9

1. Based on your response to comment one, it appears t hat the contracted transportation
capacity reservation costs must be incurred in order to deliver your produced sales gas to
market.  Given this, it appears that the portion of those costs incurred over the forecast
life of your proved reserves should be c onsidered in determining the economic
producibility of those reserves.  To the extent that the revenue from your proved reserves
does not offset the costs of operation, including applicable transportation costs, the

 quantities would not be considered econo mically producible and should not be reported
as proved reserves.

2. Please expand your disclosure to provide a n explanation for the negative undiscounted
future net cash flows relating to proved reserves for Canada and Gabon.  Refer to FASB
ASC 932 -235-50-36.

You may contact Lily Dang at (202) 551 -3867  if you have questions regarding comments
on the financial statements and related matters.  You may contact John Hodgin, Petroleum
Engineer, at (202) 551 -3699 if you have questions regarding the engineerin g comments .  Please

Dear Mr Skinner,

Sasol Limited Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Filed 9 October 2015
File No. 1-31615

We refer to the further comment letter, dated 1 July 2016, from the staff of the Office of Natural
Resources (the “Staff”) relating to the response dated 7 June 2016 (the “Response”) to the Staff’s
comment letter relating to the Form 20-F (the “Filing”) of Sasol Limited (the “Company”) for the
year ended 30 June 2015. Set forth below in detail are the responses to the Staff’s further
comment letter, which have been provided in each case following the text of the comment in the
Staff’s letter.

1.

To further our understanding of your response to our prior comment eight, please provide us

with the cost figures relating to the transportation capacity reservation and asset retirement
costs in Canada and the drilling rig and FPSO contract termination costs, current well activity
costs and asset retirement costs in Gabon.

As part of your response, please clarify each cost as either a future production or development
cost, whether each cost is discretionary or subject to an existing contractual obligation, and tell
us the timing of each cost relative to the producing life of the underlying properties, e.g. the
cost is incurred prior to, during or after cessation of production.

Also provide us with a narrative explaining the nature of the activities related to each cost and
the extent that each cost is necessary for the development and production of the underlying
proved reserves.

Response
To help facilitate the explanation below, the Company would like to advise the Staff that the
Gabon reserves represented 0,1% and Canada 1,6% of Sasol’s Proved Reserves at 30 June
2015.

page 2 of 8

The cost figures relating to the transportation capacity reservation and asset retirement costs
in Canada and the drilling rig and FPSO contract termination costs, current well activity costs
and asset retirement costs in Gabon are presented in the table on the next page. All of these
costs are committed, independent of production volume and not related to any future project;
they will therefore be incurred in production of the proved reserve. These costs will be incurred
regardless if there is any future production.   Accordingly, the Company believes they should
be excluded from an analysis of determining if the resources are economically producible as
that term is defined in Rule 4-10(a)(10) of Regulation S-X (“economically producible”).  By
excluding these costs, the undiscounted cash flows disclosed in the table on Page G-9 would
be positive. Thus, the company believes the resources would generate revenue that exceeds
the costs of obtaining the resources.

For the purposes of presentation in the table on Page G-9 of the Filing “Asset retirement cost”
and “Well activity in progress” have been classified as future development costs whereas
“Transportation capacity reservation cost” and “Drilling rig and FPSO contract termination
cost” have been classified as future production costs. A short description of the nature of the
four cost categories are provided below.

**CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SASOL LIMITED, PURSUANT TO RULE
83**

Asset retirement cost – Canada and Gabon
These costs represent the cost to decommission the producing asset, comprising wells,
flowlines and facilities as appropriate, and rehabilitate the environment as required by
regulation and industry best practice. The scope of the decommissioning includes the entire
asset which is required to produce the proved reserve and in Canada increases as additional
wells are drilled to develop the field. The Company does not view these costs as discretionary
and in all cases the cost is incurred after the cessation of production and the Company does
not believe these costs should be included in the analysis to determine if the reserves are
economically producible.

Transportation capacity reservation cost – Canada
This cost is the contracted cost to reserve capacity in third-party pipelines to transport sales
gas to the delivery point at which the market price is set. It is the total cost for sixteen existing
transportation contracts with differing quantities, start dates and end dates; with the longest
running to 2032. A portion of these costs will be incurred during production and a portion after
cessation of production (depending when the field economic life ends, which varies between
the three periods). These contract costs will have to be met irrespective of whether there is
production from the asset and therefore the Company does not believe these costs should be
included in the analysis to determine if the reserves are economically producible.

Drilling rig and FPSO contract termination cost – Gabon
Development and production of our Gabon asset uses contracted drilling and production
facilities. During 2015 this comprised a jack-up drilling rig as well as the long-term leased
floating, production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO). The drilling rig was contracted until
July 2016 but at the date of the Filing there was insufficient activity to utilise the drilling rig to
the end of the contract; a termination charge would therefore be payable. The relevant
contract termination charge, which is not dependent on future production volume, is therefore
attributed to the proved reserve at the time it would be incurred. Similarly the FPSO is leased
until 2020 with a one-year notice period. According to our modelling at 30 June 2015

page 3 of 8

production of the proved reserve would end around 30 December 2016 and a one-year
termination charge was therefore recognised at that time and the costs is not dependent upon
production and therefore the Company does not believe these costs should be included in the
analysis to determine if the reserves are economically producible.

Well activity in progress – Gabon
Costs incurred in the process of developing our Gabon asset can be recovered against future
production under the terms of the production sharing contract (so-called “cost oil”). At 30 June
2015 there were costs already incurred in the drilling and completion of wells which had not
been billed by the Operator of the asset and therefore had not been recognised in the official
cost oil calculation. To ensure correct calculation of historical and future oil entitlement for the
Company these costs were reflected as future development costs. As the activities giving rise
to the costs had actually been performed the costs were not discretionary and the Company
was committed to pay them under the terms of the Joint Operating Agreement. The costs are
independent of the magnitude of production and will be payable even if there is no future
development, and therefore the Company does not believe these costs should be included in
the analysis to determine if the reserves are economically producible.

2.

For each of the three forecasts used to develop your crude oil price assumptions, tell us the

specific time periods covered by the forecast and the specific forecast prices for each of those
periods. Provide similar information for each of the four forecasts used to develop your natural
gas price assumptions.

Response

Crude Oil
The long-term average crude oil price is presented on a nominal basis in Note 38 to the
Annual Financial Statements.

Crude oil prices, utilised in impairment testing, are derived using forecasts from three external
data analysis and research consultancies (Wood Mackenzie, PIRA Energy and IHS
Incorporated).

The outlooks for each of the consultants are reflected in the graph below:

page 4 of 8

Equal weighting has been given to each of the external consultant’s views in developing the
crude oil price assumptions. Management believes that utilising an average of three forecasts
will provide a higher degree of accuracy than any one assumption. The consultants’ June
2015 price forecasts were used to derive the crude oil assumptions and were considered to
reflect the market and external prices at the reporting date i.e. 30 June 2015.

The price assumptions extracted from the panel of consultants were for the period 2016 to
2025. Due to the nature of Sasol’s operations, major activities and capital expenditure
extending over long periods of time, our budgeting processes extends over 10 years. The
average cash flows are extrapolated over the life of the asset to calculate the terminal value,
as the affected assets are matured and fully developed and the cash flow stream can be
reliably estimated

Natural gas (real)
The long-term average gas price is presented on a real basis, excluding inflation, in Note 38 to
the Annual Financial Statements.

Natural gas prices, utilised in impairment testing, are derived from a combination of forecasts
by external consultants (Wood Mackenzie, PIRA Energy, IHS Incorporated and McDaniel &
Associates Consultants Ltd. (McDaniel)).

The future of the US shale gas industry is extremely uncertain. As a result, there is a very high
variability in any future projections. Accordingly, in developing forecast views, a number of
external consultants’ assumptions are taken into account.

The Canadian shale gas asset is in the process of being developed and accordingly a 10 year
budget would be inappropriate as the terminal value cannot be accurately determined.
Accordingly, the life of field to 2040 is used as the forecast period for impairment testing.

The outlooks are reflected in the graph below:

Explain to us in greater detail the reasons why you believe it is appropriate to incorporate
natural gas price forecasts from McDaniel in developing your natural gas price assumptions.

page 5 of 8

Additionally, explain, in reasonable detail, how you determined the relative weighting between
the four different natural gas price forecasts.

Response

McDaniel provides Sasol with independent, third party assurance in terms of the Canadian
reserves. Based on the significant volatility in the market, management believes that utilising
multiple price forecasts from leading independent consultants, who provide expertise in the
energy industry will provide a higher degree of accuracy than any one assumption.

There is currently no guidance or rules which dictate the optimal weighting of price estimates.
Accordingly, management considered the following factors in calculating the weighting
percentages:

•

Expertise in the Canadian oil and gas market – Canadian gas competes in the US gas
market and is therefore exposed to US supply and demand balances. The adjustment for
AECO therefore incorporates the logistical issues of being a Canadian operator. The panel
of three consultants provide expertise in the Energy industry mainly in the US and to a
lesser extent in Canada and therefore is a credible source for calculating AECO. McDaniel
is a leading independent reserve evaluator and resource assessor in the Canadian oil and
gas industry. Based on McDaniel’s Canadian experience, we believe that the McDaniel
price forecasts are more reflective of the Canadian oil and gas industry. Sasol believes
that by having a price forecast representative from the US and Canadian market would
provide a balanced and reasonable reflection of future pricing.

•

Comparability with peers – Recent research and surveys indicate that Canadian oil and
gas companies generally use price forecasts determined by their reserve engineers.

•

Forecasting period – The Canadian shale gas asset’s full field development plan
currently extends to beyond 2040, however, as indicated in the graph below, the McDaniel
price deck forecasts extends to only 2029 with a standard inflation percentage of 2% being
applied to each year thereafter. McDaniel recommends that a 2% inflation assumption is
applied to prices for periods post 2029.

Accordingly, based on the assessment above, management concluded that using a weighting
of 70/30 (70% for McDaniel and 30% for the others on a combined basis) would result in the
best allocation in the circumstances.  The Company believes that this weighting appropriately
reflects the asset’s value.

To illustrate the impact of a different weighting, the Company calculated the recoverable
amount using a weighting of 80/20 and 60/40 and the results thereof indicated that the
impairment would increase or decrease by CAD45 million which represents 1% of profit before
tax. This movement was not considered to be material.

Explain to us, in reasonable detail, how the pricing forecasts described in your response were
used to develop the disclosed long-term average crude oil and natural gas assumptions. As
part of your response, tell us the number of years covered by the cash flow projections
underlying your value-in-use calculations, how the price assumption for each year was
determined and, beginning with the most recent year in your projections, the specific crude oil
and natural gas prices used for each year in your projections.

Response

Crude oil (presented in nominal terms)
As noted above, Sasol uses an average of crude oil price forecasts from three external data
analysis and research consultancies (Wood Mackenzie, PIRA Energy and IHS Incorporated)
for impairment testing.

Crude oil is a global market price and accordingly, Sasol assumes that the average of price
forecasts from three external data analysis and research consultancies would be a more fair
reflection of the future price.

expect a prolonged development plan. Accordingly, in estimating the future cash flows for
impairment purposes, the life of reserve was used. The forecasting period therefore extended
from FY16 to FY40. The average gas price, using the weighting of 70% to McDaniel and 30%
to the average of the other three external experts for the period FY1

Dear Mr. Skinner,

Sasol Limited Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Filed 9 October 2015
File No. 1-31615

We refer to the comment letter, dated 28 April 2016, from the staff of
the Office of Natural Resources (the "Staff") relating to the Form 20-F
(the "Filing") of Sasol Limited (the "Company") for the year ended
30 June 2015. Set forth below in detail are the responses to the Staff's
comment letter, which have been provided in each case following the text
of the comment in the Staff's letter. The Staff is referred to the
definitions contained in the Filing.

1. Please expand your presentation to disclose the undeveloped acreage
for Australia, Nigeria and South Africa as separate figures by
individual country. Refer to the disclosure requirements for geographic
area under Item 1201(d) of Regulation S-K.

Response
The Company has referred to Item 1201(d) of Regulation S-K and
acknowledges the Staff's comment. In all future filings, beginning with
the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2016, the
Company will revise the disclosure to present the information by groups
of countries within a continent as follows:

Undeveloped acreage

* Rest of Africa consists of Nigeria, North America consists of Canada
and Australasia consists of Australia.

2. Please expand your presentation to disclose the production, by final
product sold, for each field that contains 15% or more of the Company's
total proved reserves. Refer to disclosure requirements under
Item 1204(a) of Regulation S-K.

Response
The Company has referred to Item 1204(a) of Regulation S-K and
acknowledges the Staff's comment. In all future filings, beginning with
the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2016, the
Companywill revise the filing to identify production for those fields
containing 15% or more of the Company's total Proved Reserves. As
permitted by Rule 4-10(a)(15) of Regulation S-X the Company will,
where appropriate, treat reservoirs in overlapping or adjacent fields as
a single operational field.

The Company confirms that only the natural oil and gas volume in
Mozambique and the synthetic oil volume in South Africa amount to 15%
or more of the Company's total proved reserves.

Natural oil and gas production from Mozambique in 2013, 2014 and
2015 originated in a single field, the Pande-Temane PPA (PPA), which
comprises 18% of the Company's total proved reserves. The net production
quantities for the PPA are disclosed under Mozambique on Page 94 of
the Filing.

Synthetic oil production from South Africa, which comprises 80% of the
Company's total proved reserves, also originates from a single
synthetic oil field. The net production quantities for the synthetic
oil field are disclosed under South Africa on Page 94 of the Filing.

3. Please expand your disclosure of proved reserves expressed as
barrels of oil equivalent to clarify the basis for converting your
natural gas volumes to equivalent barrels of oil (e.g. the number
of cubic feet of natural gas per barrel of oil equivalent).
Refer to Instruction 3 to Item 1202(a)(2) of Regulation S-K

Response
The Company has referred to Instruction 3 to Item 1202(a)(2) of
Regulation S-K and acknowledges the Staff's comment. In all future
filings, beginning with the annual report on Form 20-F for the year
ended 30 June 2016, the Company will revise the disclosure to include
the basis for converting natural gas volumes to equivalent barrels of
oil. The Company confirms that the equivalency basis used in the
Filing is 6 000 standard cubic feet of natural gas is equivalent to 1
barrel of oil.

4. Please expand your disclosure of the changes in net quantities of
proved reserves for the period ending June 30, 2015 to include an
appropriate narrative explanation of the significant changes relating
to revisions. Refer to the disclosure requirements under
FASB ASC 932-235-50-5

Response
The Company has referred to the disclosure requirements under
FASB ASC 932-235-50-5 and acknowledges the Staff's comment. In all
future filings, beginning with the annual report on Form 20-F for the
year ended 30 June 2016, the Company will revise the disclosure to
provide a narrative explanation of the significant changes relating to
revisions in Proved Reserves.

Illustrative disclosure based on the Filing
Changes to Proved Developed Reserves

Natural Oil and Gas
In the Mozambique Pande-Temane PPA asset, Proved Developed Reserves
decreased by 204,9 billion cubic feet. This was mainly due to
production of 109,2  billion cubic feet. The remaining 95,7 billion
cubic feet is a Revision which follows from a detailed technical
study of the reservoirs using latest field data which showed that
installed facilities will produce less gas than previously estimated.

In the Canada Farrell Creek and Cypress A asset, Proved Developed
Reserves increased by 31,2 billion cubic feet. Continued development
drilling resulted in Proved Developed Reserves increasing by
53,0 billion cubic feet, which was partly offset by production of
21,8 billion cubic feet .

Synthetic oil
On 1 July 2014, Sasol implemented our Project 2050 programme to
extend the useful life of our Secunda Mining and Synfuels Coal
Operations from 2029 to 2050.  The extension in useful life resulted
in a Revision of 413,6 million barrels.

5. Expand your disclosure to provide all of the material changes in
the net quantities of proved undeveloped reserves including but not
limited to the net quantity of proved undeveloped reserves converted
to proved developed reserves that occurred during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2015. Your disclosure should reconcile the overall
change in the net quantities of your proved undeveloped reserves and
present the changes accompanied by a narrative explanation relating
such causes as revisions, extensions/discoveries,
acquisition/divestiture, improved recovery and the amounts converted
during the year from proved undeveloped to proved developed. Refer to
the disclosure requirements under Item 1203(b) of Regulation S-K.

Response
The Company has referred to Item 1203(b) of Regulation S-K and
acknowledges the Staff's comment. In all future filings, beginning
with the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2016,
the Company will revise the disclosure to include an appropriate
explanation of all material changes in Proved Undeveloped Reserves.

Illustrative disclosure on material changes in Proved Undeveloped
Reserves based on the annual report on Form 20-F for the year
ended 30 June 2015

Changes to Proved Undeveloped Reserves

In the Mozambique Pande-Temane PPA asset, Proved Undeveloped Reserves
increased by 186,7 billion cubic feet. The Revision is based on the
same detailed technical study of the reservoirs using latest field
data mentioned in the Company's response to comment 4. The study
showed that the amount of Proved Reserves that will be extracted by
facilities and wells that have been approved but have not yet been
constructed will more than offset the reduction in the amount
estimated to be produced by presently installed facilities.

6. We note the definition you provide here and elsewhere on page 108
relating to proved reserves of oil and gas incorporates a reference
to commercial recoverability not found in the definition under
Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. Please revise your disclosure to
remove the inconsistency with the definition of proved oil and gas
reserves under Rule 4-10(a)(22) of Regulation S-X.

Response
The Company has referred to the definition under Rule 4-10(a)(22) of
Regulation S-X and acknowledges the Staff's comment. In all future
filings, beginning with the annual report on Form 20-F for the year
ended 30 June 2016, the Company will revise the disclosure to ensure
that the references to commercial recoverability are removed.The
Company confirms that the Proved Reserves disclosed in the Filing
are consistent with the definition under Rule 4-10(a)(22) of
Regulation S-X.

7. We note that you incorporate a line item change captioned
"Commercial Arrangements" in the disclosure of the changes in proved
reserves and standardized measure of discounted net cash flows not
specified in the change categories for disclosure under
FASB ASC 932-235-50-5 and 50-35, respectively. Please revise your
disclosure to use terminology consistent with the change categories
specified in FASB ASC 932.

Response
The Company has referred to the terminology under FASB ASC 932-235-50
and acknowledges the Staff's comment.

Following a similar comment made by Staff in a letter dated
28 June 2013 relating to the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F
for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012 the Company committed to
expand the disclosure to include the definitions for the change
categories 'Commercial Arrangements' and 'Operational Factors'.
These definitions have been provided on page G-8 of the Filing.

The Company will however revise the disclosure in all future filings,
beginning with the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended
30 June 2016, to use terminology consistent with the change
categories specified in FASB ASC 932. The impact of Commercial
Arrangements and Operational Factors will be disclosed under
'Revision of previous estimates'.

8. Your disclosure of the undiscounted future cash inflows less
the undiscounted future production and development costs appear to
result in a negative figure relating to the proved natural oil and
gas reserves for Canada for each of the periods ending June 30, 2013,
2014 and 2015 and for Gabon for the period ending June 30, 2015,
respectively. Please refer to the definitions of economically
producible and proved oil and gas reserves under Rule 4-10(a)(10)
and 4-10(a)(22) of Regulation S-X and FASB ASC 932-235-20 and clarify
for us why your estimates meet the requirements for disclosure as
proved reserves.

Response
The Company has referred to the definitions under Rule 4-10(a)(10)
and Rule 4-10(a)(22) of Regulation S-X and FASB ASC 932-235-20 and
acknowledges the Staff's comment. The Company believes that the
estimates meet the requirements for disclosure as Proved Reserves.
Although the details vary between the two assets, the underlying
basis for disclosure of Proved Reserves is the same.

The Company's disclosed Proved Reserve for each asset is the
Company's share of the cumulative sum of future production for
the period during which the future cash inflow, net of Royalty,
for each field as a whole exceeds the associated cost. The
Company believes that this volume constitutes a "resource which
generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed,
the costs of the operation" (Rule 4-10(a)(10)).

The future production and development costs for both Canada and
Gabon include costs which are not dependent upon the volume of
production. They are fixed and will be incurred even in the event
of no future production. In Canada, these costs are transportation
capacity reservation costs and asset retirement costs. The Company
has included transportation costs in the disclosure as the gas must
be transported to a point at which it can be sold; there is no price
at the well head. In Gabon these costs are drilling rig and FPSO
contract termination costs, current well activity costs and asset
retirement costs. For both assets, and in all referenced years, these
costs are solely responsible for the negative future cash flow.

When evaluating whether a resource is economically producible,
the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude those costs
that are fixed and do not vary based on the amount of production.
Accordingly, while the total future production and development
costs result in a negative cumulative cash flow management will
continue to produce because the cash flows that are dependent upon
production - excluding the aforementioned costs - are positive.
Accordingly, we believe that the criteria in Rule 4-10(a)(10) are
met - the resources are economically producible - and that the
resources meet the definition of a proved reserve in
Rule 4-10(a)(22).

9. Regarding the 2015 long-term average crude oil and natural
gas price assumptions used for your value-in-use calculations,
tell us the following:
- How the prices were determined, including how they reflect the
external evidence represented by current prices at and around
June 30, 2015;
- How the prices are used to develop cash flow projections, both
for near-term and longer-term years; and,
- How the prices compare to the prices used in the most recent
budgets or forecasts approved by management.
- As part of your response, explain how your use of these
prices takes into consideration the requirements of IAS 36,
paragraph 33.

Response
How the prices were determined, including how they reflect the
external evidence represented by current prices at and around
June 30, 2015

Crude Oil
Crude oil prices, utilised in impairment testing, are derived
using forecasts from three external data analysis and research
consultancies (Wood Mackenzie, PIRA Energy and IHS Incorporated).
Equal weighting has been given to each of the external
consultant's views in developing the crude oil price assumptions.
Management believes that utilising an average of three forecasts
will provide a higher degree of accuracy than any one assumption.
The consultants' June 2015 price forecasts were used to derive
the crude oil assumptions and were considered to reflect the
market and external prices at the reporting date i.e.
30 June 2015.

Natural gas
Natural gas prices, utilised in impairment testing, are derived
from a combination of forecasts by external consultants
(Wood Mackenzie, PIRA Energy, IHS Incorporated and McDaniel &
Associates Consultants Ltd. (McDaniel)).

McDaniel provides Sasol with independent, third party
assurance in terms of the Canadian reserves, and it was therefore
deemed appropriate to assign a higher weighting to the natural gas
price forecasts produced by them as an independent, external expert.
Accordingly, the McDaniel price deck is assigned a weighting of
70%, whilst the average of the other three external experts are
weighted at 30%.

How the prices are used to develop cash flow projections, both
for near-term and longer-term years

The prices are used to develop cash flows by multiplying the
price, in the near-term and longer-term, by the expected sales
volumes of gas or oil; as appropriate. Management's best estimate of
future production is influenced by the estimated prices referred to
above, i.e. management would consider changes in the production
and/or development profile of an asset based on significant changes
in estimated prices.

How the prices compare to the prices used in the most recent budgets
or forecasts approved by management

The Company uses the budget process as a planning mechanism to
perform various scenario analyses to prepare the organisation for
unforeseen events and a possible further deterioration in the
macro-economic environment. It is further used to test capital
allocation principles and risk mitigation initiatives given the
anticipated lower-for-longer oil price environment.

The budget contains two price scenarios, namely a "prudent" case
and a "reference" case.

The "prudent" budget price assumptions are lower than the external
panel view. To ensure that Company's budget is stressed to a worst
case scenario, the budget contains conservative price assumptions,
which are not reflective of the external market. The "prudent case"
assumptions are only used

Ms. Cecilia Blye, Chief
Office of Global Security Risk
Division of Corporation Finance
Securities and Exchange Commission
100 F Street, N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20549

Dear Ms. Blye,

Sasol Limited Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year Ended 30 June 2014
Filed 29 September 2014
File No. 1-31615

We refer to the comment letter, dated 23 February 2015, from the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff") relating to the Form 20-F of
Sasol Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 30 June 2014. Set forth below
in detail are the responses to the Staff's comment letter, which have been
provided in each case following the text of the comment in the Staff's letter.
The Staff is referred to the definitions contained in the Form 20-F for the
year ended 30 June 2014.

1. In your letter to us dated May 15, 2012, you discussed contacts with Sudan
and Syria. Sudan and Syria are designated by the U.S. Department of State as
state sponsors of terrorism, and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions and
export controls. You do not provide disclosure about these countries in the
Form 20-F. Please describe to us the nature and extent of your past, current,
and anticipated contacts with Sudan and Syria since your 2012 letter, whether
through subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, resellers or other direct or
indirect arrangements. You should describe any products or services provided,
directly or indirectly, and any agreements, commercial arrangements, or other
contacts with the governments of those countries or entities they control.

Response
The Company does not have any operations in Syria or Sudan and is not
contemplating investing in operations in these countries. The Company does not
have any direct agreements, commercial arrangements, or other contacts with the
governments of Sudan or Syria, nor, to our knowledge, with entities controlled
by them.

Contacts with Sudan
Since 2011, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, directly or
through distributors, has sold any products to persons or entities
located in Sudan. The Company and its affiliates do not currently have any
offices, transactions, investments, activities or planned activities in
Sudan, nor with any person or entity located in Sudan or any entity owned
or controlled by any entity in Sudan.

Contacts with Syria
In 2012, the Company, directly through its affiliate, Sasol Olefins and
Surfactants, sold chemical products to entities in Syria. These sales
agreements were cancelled in 2012 with immediate effect, and the Company
has not sold chemical products to Syria since then.

The Company has however, indirectly, through a joint venture domiciled
in Egypt, sold de minimis paraffin wax, which is produced by the joint
venture partner, to entities in Syria. Paraffin wax is used in the
production of candles. With effect from October 2014, all sales of
paraffin wax to Syria were discontinued.

None of these products were manufactured in the Company's US
based operations, nor were any of these products sold by an entity
incorporated in the US.

General
As of the date of this letter, the Company can confirm that it has
no contact with Syria or Sudan. All sales agreements to entities in
these regions have been discontinued.

2. Please discuss the materiality of any contacts with Sudan and
Syria you described in response to the comment above, and whether
those contacts constitute a material investment risk for your
security holders. You should address materiality in quantitative
terms, including the approximate dollar amounts of any associated
revenues, assets, and liabilities for the last three fiscal years
and the subsequent interim period.Also, address materiality in terms
of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important
in making an investment decision, including the potential impact of
corporate activities upon a company's reputation and share value.
As you know, various state and municipal governments, universities,
and other investors have proposed or adopted divestment or similar
initiatives regarding investment in companies that do businesswith
U.S.-designated state sponsors of terrorism.  You should address
the potential impact of the investor sentiment evidenced by such
actions directed toward companies that have operations associated
with Sudan and Syria.

Response
The following table illustrates our sales into Syria for the six
months ended 31 December 2014 and for the years ended 30 June 2014,
2013 and 2012, expressed in South African Rand (ZAR) and as a
percentage of total group revenue.

			Half year	Full year	Full year	Full year
			2014*		2014		2013		2012
			R' million	R' million	R' million	R' million
Syria			4		8		3		10
Total group revenue	99 837		202 683		169 891		159 114
% of group revenue	0,004%		0,004%		0,002%		0,006%

* For the period 1 July 2014 to October 2014.

Based on the above, the revenues generated by these products
do not constitute a material portion of group revenue. The
Company did not have any associated assets or liabilities,
except for the related trade receivables associated with the
revenue generated above, which is not material. The Company
does not believe that a reasonable investor would consider
Sasol's past interests and activities in Syria to be a
material investment risk, either from an economic, financial
or reputational point of view, given their extremely limited
extent and nature and discontinuation of sales agreements
since October 2014.

Although the Company cannot predict future interpretations
of sanction provisions and/or implementation policies of
governments, we believe that our activities, as mentioned
above, do not infringe any current U.S. or European
Union sanctions and United Nations resolutions. The
Company continues to evaluate the risk and implications of
sanctions on our activities, and we have implemented
measures to ensure that the Company, and in particular
our U.S. employees, investors and subsidiaries of the group
do not violate U.S.
sanction legislation.

We acknowledge that:
- The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy
of the disclosure in the filing;
- Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to
Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from
taking any action with respect to the filing; and
- The Company may not assert Staff comments as a defence
in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person
under the federal securities laws of the United States.

We appreciate the Staff's review of the Form 20-F for the
year ended 30 June 2014. Should the Staff have any questions
or require any additional information, please telephone the
undersigned at +27-11-441-3435. My email address is

the Pande-Temane PPA asset expires in 2034 and carries two possible
five year extensions. There are no remaining licence obligations
and there is no requirement to relinquish any acreage until the
expiry of the Petroleum Production Agreement.

The Pande-Temane PSA licence is in the third and last exploration
period.
Two discovery areas (Pande/Corvo/Tafula and Temane/Temane East
/Inhassoro) are currently being appraised. The appraisal phase
is scheduled to end in December 2012. The decision to develop the
fields and retain the associated acreage is dependent on the appraisal
results (442,8 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession for Blocks 16&19 is in the
third and last exploration period which expires in June 2013.
There are no remaining commitments. The acreage will be relinquished
at the end of the exploration period unless the Njika discovery is
declared commercial (1 157,6 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession M-10 is in the second
exploration period which carries a one well commitment and is due to
expire in January 2013. Approval to drill the commitment well (Mupeji)
has been obtained and preparation is under way to drill the well.
The decision to enter the third exploration period and associated
acreage relinquishment is dependent on the drilling results and ongoing
study work (320,0 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession Sofala is in the second
exploration period which expires in January 2013. The gravity survey and
seismic acquisition commitments have been completed. The decision to
enter the third exploration period and associated acreage relinquishment
is dependent on the seismic interpretation results and ongoing study work
(1 809,3 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession Area A licence is in the first
exploration period which expires in May 2014. The gravity survey
commitment has been completed and the seismic acquisition commitment
has commenced. The decision to enter the second exploration period and
associated acreage relinquishment is dependent on the seismic
interpretation results and ongoing study work
(1 862,1 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

Licence terms Gabon:  The exploration area of the Etame Marin Permit
expires in July 2014. There is 1 well commitment outstanding.
The decision to apply for permission to exploit the area and retain
acreage is dependent on the drilling results and ongoing study work.
The full exploration area will be relinquished if it is decided not to
submit a development plan (219,3 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The exploitation area of the Etame Marin Permit is covered by three 10 year
Exclusive Exploitation Authorisations each with two five year extensions
available on request and subject to government decree.
The Etame Exclusive Exploitation Authorisation is in the first extension
period to July 2016. The Exclusive Exploitation Authorisations for Avouma
and Ebouri expire in March 2015 and June 2016, respectively.
The current plan of development is based on granting of the various
extensions to July 2021.

Licence terms Canada:  As at 30 June 2012, Farrell Creek comprised of
26 licenses and leases and Cypress A comprised of 27 licenses and leases.
Acreage retention and the conversion of licenses
(which carry no production rights) to leases
(with production rights) is enabled by drilling commitments,
the provincial government's prescribed lease selection and validation
process and license extension applications. The decision to retain
acreage and convert licences
to leases is dependent on the drilling results and ongoing study work.
Drilling and retention activities have been and will be included in the
applicable work programmes in order that licences and leases that are due
to expire before 30 December 2013 are retained (10 licences and leases,
4,4 thousand undeveloped and 9,5 thousand developed net acres).

-	Certain licenses in Mozambique overlap as they
relate to specific stratigraphic horizons.

6.	Item 1208(b) of Regulation S-K requires the disclosure of
material amounts of expiring acreage by geographic area.
Please expand your discussion of the individual concessions and
licenses on pages 129 through 130 to include such disclosure.

Response
The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment, and in all future
filings, beginning with the annual report on Form 20-F for the
year ended 30 June 2013, the Company will expand its disclosure
on licence terms to more clearly identify amounts of expiring
acreage.

For illustration purposes, we set out below the disclosures as it
would have appeared in our Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2012:

Illustrative disclosure based on the annual report on Form 20-F
for the year ended 30 June 2012

Licence terms Mozambique:  The Petroleum Production Agreement for
the Pande-Temane PPA asset expires in 2034 and carries two possible
five year extensions. There are no remaining licence obligations
and there is no requirement to relinquish any acreage until the
expiry of the Petroleum Production Agreement.

The Pande-Temane PSA licence is in the third and last exploration
period.
Two discovery areas (Pande/Corvo/Tafula and Temane/Temane East
/Inhassoro) are currently being appraised. The appraisal phase
is scheduled to end in December 2012. The decision to develop the
fields and retain the associated acreage is dependent on the appraisal
results (442,8 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession for Blocks 16&19 is in the
third and last exploration period which expires in June 2013.
There are no remaining commitments. The acreage will be relinquished
at the end of the exploration period unless the Njika discovery is
declared commercial (1 157,6 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession M-10 is in the second
exploration period which carries a one well commitment and is due to
expire in January 2013. Approval to drill the commitment well (Mupeji)
has been obtained and preparation is under way to drill the well.
The decision to enter the third exploration period and associated
acreage relinquishment is dependent on the drilling results and ongoing
study work (320,0 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession Sofala is in the second
exploration period which expires in January 2013. The gravity survey and
seismic acquisition commitments have been completed. The decision to
enter the third exploration period and associated acreage relinquishment
is dependent on the seismic interpretation results and ongoing study work
(1 809,3 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The Exploration and Production Concession Area A licence is in the first
exploration period which expires in May 2014. The gravity survey
commitment has been completed and the seismic acquisition commitment
has commenced. The decision to enter the second exploration period and
associated acreage relinquishment is dependent on the seismic
interpretation results and ongoing study work
(1 862,1 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

Licence terms Gabon:  The exploration area of the Etame Marin Permit
expires in July 2014. There is 1 well commitment outstanding.
The decision to apply for permission to exploit the area and retain
acreage is dependent on the drilling results and ongoing study work.
The full exploration area will be relinquished if it is decided not to
submit a development plan (219,3 thousand undeveloped net acres affected).

The exploitation area of the Etame Marin Permit is covered by three 10 year
Exclusive Exploitation Authorisations each with two five year extensions
available on request and subject to government decree.
The Etame Exclusive Exploitation Authorisation is in the first extension
period to July 2016. The Exclusive Exploitation Authorisations for Avouma
and Ebouri expire in March 2015 and June 2016, respectively.
The current plan of development is based on granting of the various
extensions to July 2021.

Licence terms Canada:  As at 30 June 2012, Farrell Creek comprised of
26 licenses and leases and Cypress A comprised of 27 licenses and leases.
Acreage retention and the conversion of licenses
(which carry no production rights) to leases
(with production rights) is enabled by drilling commitments,
the provincial government's prescribed lease selection and validation
process and license extension applications. The decision to retain
acreage and convert licences
to leases is dependent on the drilling results and ongoing study work.
Drilling and retention activities have been and will be included in the
applicable work programmes in order that licences and leases that are due
to expire before 30 December 2013 are retained (10 licences and leases,
4,4 thousand undeveloped and 9,5 thousand developed net acres).

Licence terms other areas:  The Botswana licences PL134/2010, PL135/2010
and PL136/2010 are in the first exploration period which expires in
September 2013. The plan is to obtain government approval by June 2013 to
continue the current work programme into the second exploration period
in order to complete the minimum commitments (367,0 thousand undeveloped
net acres affected).

In the Papua New Guinea PPL285, 286, and 288 licences the plan is to
retain a prospective area in the north of PPL285 and PPL288
(685,9 thousand undeveloped net acres) under a combined new licence.
The remaining areas of PPL285 and PPL288 and all of PPL286
(2 922,9 thousand undeveloped net acres) will be relinquished
or assigned. The PPL287 licence is in its third explo

Mr. H. Roger Schwall
Assistant Director
Securities and Exchange Commission
100 F Street, N.E.
Washington, D.C 20549

Dear Mr. Schwall

Sasol Limited Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year Ended June 30, 2011
Filed October 7, 2011
File No. 1-31615

We refer to the Staffs comment letter dated 20 April 2012, relating to the
Form 20-F of Sasol Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 30 June 2011.
Set forth below in detail are the responses to the Staff's comments, which
have been provided in each case following the text of the comment in the
Staff's letter. The Staff is referred to the definitions contained in the
Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2011.

1.	We note disclosure here and throughout the Form 20-F regarding
contacts with Iran.  Please update us on your contacts with Iran since your
letters to us of April 13, 2006 and July 21, 2006, and with Syria and Sudan
since your letter to us of March 11, 2008, whether through subsidiaries,
distributors, resellers, affiliates or other indirect arrangements.  In
this regard, we note that your Form 20-F does not provide disclosure
about contacts with Syria and Sudan. Please tell us about the outcome of
the feasibility studies relating to a gas-to-liquids project in Iran
discussed in your 2006 letters and the potential ammonia/urea project at
Assaluyeh, Iran discussed in your 2009 Form 20-F, and tell us about the
ethane cracker commissioned at your Arya Sasol Polymer Project in November
2007 and the low-density polyethylene plant and high-density polyethylene
plant that reached beneficial operation in 2009.  Please discuss whether
and how these activities affected your disclosure about the risk of
violating sanctions based upon the business you do in Iran and the products
that you produce there.

Response
The Company does not have any operations in Syria or the Sudan and is not
contemplating investing in operations in these countries.

As noted in our response letter dated 11 March 2008, the Company, directly
through its affiliates, Sasol Olefins and Surfactants, Sasol Solvents and
Sasol Wax and through its distributors, has sold chemical products to
entities in Syria and the Sudan. Refer to response to comment 4 below for
details.

The Company has a 63,64% interest in the National Petroleum Refiners of
South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Natref) refinery, with its joint venture partner
owning the remaining interest. The Natref refinery is managed and operated
on a time basis proportional to each partner's interest. Each joint venture
partner sources its crude oil requirements and markets refined products
from its utilisation of the Natref refinery independently from the other
partner.  Accordingly, the Company has no control over its joint venture
partner's management, crude oil purchases or marketing operations
involving the Natref refinery.  With respect to the Company's utilisation
of the Natref refinery, in the past approximately 50% of its crude oil
requirements has been obtained from the Middle East (approximately 12 000
barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil was purchased from Naftiran Intertrade
Company Limited of Iran and approximately 19 300 bpd of crude oil was
purchased from Saudi Arabia), through crude oil spot and term contracts,
respectively.  Purchases from Iran were terminated and the last Iranian
crude cargoes were uplifted in February 2012.  Replacement of crude oil
is being sourced from Saudi Arabia and spot markets, including West Africa
and other sources.

The feasibility studies relating to the gas-to-liquids project and a
potential ammonia/urea project in Iran did not result in any further
developments or investments. The Company is not pursuing any new
opportunities in Iran.

With regards to the risks associated with the Arya Sasol Polymer plant,
the following should be noted:

*	The risks related to the sanction programmes administered by
the United States (US) government do not currently, in our view, apply
directly to either the Company or its affiliates involved in activities
in Iran, as none of them would be considered US persons under these
regulations. Nonetheless, because the Company is a multi-national
enterprise, the Iranian Transactions Regulations (ITR), administered by
the US Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), may
apply to certain entities within the group, including US employees,
investors and certain subsidiaries.

*	Accordingly, the Company has initiated a review of its Iranian
activities and is currently considering divestment options, and has apprised
OFAC of its intention to divest of this investment.

2.	As you know, Iran, Syria and Sudan are identified by the U.S.
Department of State as state sponsors of terrorism and are subject to
U.S. economic sanctions and export controls. Your response should describe
any services or products you have provided to Iran, Syria and Sudan and
any agreements, commercial arrangements, or other contacts you have
had with the governments of these countries, or entities controlled by
their governments.  We note for instance that your Arya Sasol Polymer
joint venture partner is a subsidiary of the National Petrochemical Company
of Iran and that Natref obtains crude oil from Naftiran
Intertrade Company Limited, which is wholly-owned by National Iranian
Oil Co.

Response
The Company does not have any direct agreements, commercial arrangements,
or other contacts with the governments of Iran, Syria and Sudan, or to our
knowledge with entities controlled by them.

As noted above, with respect to the Company?s 63,64% interest in the Natref
facility, the Company has in the past obtained approximately 50% of its crude
oil requirements from the Middle East (of the purchases from the Middle East,
approximately 12 000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil was purchased from
Naftiran Intertrade Company Limited of Iran and approximately 19 300 bpd of
crude oil was purchased from Saudi Arabia) through crude oil spot and term
contracts, respectively.  Purchases from Iran were terminated and the last
Iranian crude cargoes were uplifted in February 2012.

Sasol Polymers Germany GmbH, a company incorporated and having its principal
place of business in Germany, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
which entered into a joint venture, Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC), with
National Petrochemical Company of Iran (NPC) to construct and operate an
integrated ethylene and polyethylene production facility in Iran in 2003.
Since 2003, NPC has diversified its shareholding into various private
companies and to the Company?s knowledge, NPC currently holds only
approximately a 20% indirect shareholding in ASPC.

The Company seconds contractually a number of employees (approximately 12)
to ASPC, who report and are accountable to ASPC's management on a daily basis.
The involvement of NPC in ASPC in Iran is mainly limited to a feedstock
supplier and periodically the provider of human resources, who are accountable
to ASPC's management.  Accordingly, the Company and NPC are not involved in the
daily operations and decision making of ASPC. Both the Company and NPC
participate as non-executive directors on the ASPC board in terms of the
shareholders agreement and their influence on the management of ASPC are
limited to those board decisions.

3.	Please tell us whether any of the services, products, compounds
or by-products you produce in or export to Iran, Syria or Sudan, directly
or indirectly, have military or weapons applications. Describe any such
applications made of those services, products, compounds or by-products in
or by those countries, of which you are aware.

Response
The Company does not sell products of a military nature or products
with a dual military application knowingly directly to Iran, Syria and the
Sudan.

4.	Please discuss the materiality of your contacts with Syria and Sudan
described in response to the foregoing comments and whether those contacts
constitute a material investment risk for your security holders.  You should
address materiality in quantitative terms, including the approximate dollar
amounts of any associated revenues, assets, and liabilities for the last
three fiscal years and the subsequent interim period.  Also, address
materiality in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would
deem important in making an investment decision, including the potential
impact of corporate activities upon a company's reputation and share value.
Various state and municipal governments, universities, and other investors
have proposed or adopted divestment or similar initiatives regarding investment
in companies that do business with U.S.designated state sponsors of terrorism.
Your materiality analysis should address the potential impact of the investor
sentiment evidenced by such actions directed toward companies that have
operations associated with Syria and Sudan.

Response
The Company does not have any operations in Syria or the Sudan and is not
contemplating investing in operations in these countries.

The Company, directly through its affiliates Sasol Olefins and Surfactants,
Sasol Solvents and Sasol Wax, and indirectly through its distributors, has
sold chemical products to entities in Syria and the Sudan. None of these
products were manufactured in the Company's US based operations, nor were any
of these products sold by an entity incorporated in the US. Sales for the six
months ended 31 December 2012 and the years ended 30 June 2011, 2010 and 2009
were as follows:

suppliers in the international market. Based on the above, the revenues
generated by these products do not constitute a material portion of
group revenue. The Company does not have any associated assets or
liabilities, except for the related trade receivables associated with the
revenue generated above, which are not material. The Company does not believe
that a reasonable investor would considerSasol's interests and activities in
the Sudan or Syria to be a material investment risk, either from an economic,
financial or reputational point of view, given their extremely limited
extent and nature.

Although the Company cannot predict future interpretations of sanction
provisions and/or implementation policies of governments, we believe
that our activities, as mentioned above, do not infringe any current US
or European Union sanctions and United Nations resolutions. The Company
continues to evaluate the risk and implications of sanctions on our
activities, and we have implemented measures to ensure that the Company,
and in particular our US employees, investors and subsidiaries of the
group do not violate US sanction legislation.

5.	We note your disclosure about the potential for reputational harm
from your activities in Iran. Please discuss for us, with a view towards
disclosure in future filings, the potential for reputational harm from your
business relationships with Naftiran Intertrade Company Limited, which was
sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2010 for financing energy projects in
Iran, and with subsidiaries of the National Petrochemical Company of Iran
and National Iranian Oil Co., both of which are on the U.S. Department of
Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals List.

Response
The Company has mitigated the potential reputational harm associated with
procurement of Iranian crude oil from Naftiran Intertrade Company Limited,
by terminating the purchases of Iranian oil and the last Iranian crude cargoes
were uplifted in February 2012.

The risks related to the sanction programmes administered by the US government
do not currently, in our view, apply directly to either the Company or its
affiliates involved in activities in Iran, as none of them would be considered
US persons under these regulations. Nonetheless, because the Company is a
multi-national enterprise, the Iranian Transactions Regulations (ITR),
administered by the US Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control
(OFAC), may apply to certain entities within the group, including US employees,
investors and certain subsidiaries.

Accordingly, the Company has initiated a review of its Iranian activities
and is currently considering divestment options, and has apprised OFAC of its
intention to divest of this investment

6.	In future filings, please make clear that the Iran Sanctions Act has
been amended by the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment
Act of 2010.

Response
We confirm that the disclosure in future filings will make reference to the
Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act of 2010.

7.	We note that in March and June 2011 you acquired a 50% stake in
 Talisman Energy Inc.'s Farrell Creek and Cypress A shale gas assets
located in Canada for R14.2 billion total, for which you paid R3.8 billion
in cash, and will settle the remainder of the purchase consideration through
capital carry obligations. Please expand your disclosure to clarify the total
amount recorded for the acquisitions and discuss the length and terms of your
capital carry obligations. If the total value recorded for the acquisitions is
not the R14.2 billion identified as the total purchase consideration, please
explain your basis for recording the transactions at a lower amount.

Response
On 1 March 2011, all conditions precedent in respect of the Farrell Creek
transaction were met, resulting in the transaction becoming effective. The
transaction was valued at R7,1 billion (CAD1 050 million). On 8 March 2011,
the Company exercised its option in respect of the Cypress A assets under
essentially the same terms and conditions as the Farrell Creek transaction.
This transaction was concluded on 10 June 2011 when all conditions
precedent were fulfilled and was valued at R7,1 billion (CAD1 050 million).
These transactions gave effect to the Company acquiring a 50% interest in
the Farrell Creek and Cypress A shale gas assets located in the Montney Basin,
of British Columbia, Canada. Talisman Energy Inc. (Talisman), a Canadian-based
company, retained the remaining 50% and continued as operator of the assets,
which comprise proved and unproven properties as well as the associated gas
gathering systems and processing facilities.

A cash consideration of R2 068 million (CAD295,7 million) and R1 755 million
(CAD250,8 million) was paid at the effective dates of the Farrell Creek and
Cypress A transactions, respectively. The total cash consideration of R3 823
million is disclosed in the 2011 Form 20-F under "Item 5. Operating and
financial review and prospects-5.B Liquidity and capital resources-Liquidity-
Investing activities" on pages 201 to 203 of the 2011 Form 20-F and in note 55
(Acquisitions) to the consolidated annual financial statements on page
F-162 of the 2011 Form 20-F. The remainder of the total purchase price will
be settled through the capital carry obligation. The cash considerations were
recognised as the acquisition cost of the assets on the respective effective
dates. Subsequent to the effective date of the transactions, an amount of
R1,3 billion has been spent on additional capital expenditure to 30 June 2011.
The initial acquisition cost and subsequent capital expenditure is accounted
for in accordance with the successful efforts method of accounting. Exploration
and development costs that relate to reserves are capitalised and recognised in
the statement of financial position as an asset under construction. Costs that
do not directly relate to rese

similar initiatives regarding investment in companies that do business with U.S.-

potential impact of the investor sentiment evidenced by such actions directed toward
companies that have operations a ssociated with Syria and Sudan.

Form 20-F for the Year Ended June 30, 2009
Filed October 9, 2009
Response letter dated March 31, 2010
File No. 1-31615

  We refer to the Staff’s comment letter dated 2 March 2010, relating to the Form 20-F of Sasol
Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2009 and our response letter dated 31
March 2010. Set forth below in detail are the responses to the Staff’s comments, which have
been provided in each case following the text of the comment in the Staff’s letter. The Staff is
referred to the definitions contained in the Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2009.

1.
  We note your response to comment two of our letter dated March 2, 2010 which specifies

that you capitalize expenditures incurred to sustain your operations. Please clarify for us
the meaning of the phrase “sustain the operations of the Company” as it relates to
paragraph 12 of IAS 16. As part of your response, please provide us with examples of the
most material items included in the R5 665 million in expenditures incurred to sustain your
operations in fiscal 2009.

  Response

The financial statements included in our Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2009
provides disclosure of the Company’s accounting policies on page F-17, relating to costs
capitalised in respect of replacing or modifying significant components of plant.
Expenditure incurred to sustain the operations of the Company relates primarily to those
items of property, plant and equipment which require replacement at regular intervals as
contemplated in IAS 16.13 as well as those items that are a condition of continuing to
operate an item of property, plant and equipment per IAS 16.14 (major inspection or
overhaul costs used over more than one period). All costs related to routine repairs and
maintenance are expensed in the income statements per IAS 16.12.

As part of the normal plant operations, the Company incurs capital expenditure, which
includes replacing or modifying significant components of plant to maintain the useful lives

page 2 of 8

of the plant operations, improve plant efficiencies, increase plant production yields, etc.
The item of plant which is replaced in each case would be scrapped and written off at the
time that it is replaced.

  Included in the R5 665 million, R4 906 million relates to expenditure in respect of
sustaining operations and the remaining balance relates to expenditure to meet legal and
environmental obligations (refer to first response per IAS 16.11 and two examples
discussed). The following are examples of the most material projects to sustain existing
operations:

preference shares are not convertible into Sasol ordinary shares and as such there is
no purchaser.

  The  debt  will  be  settled  in  cash  by  the  funding  companies  using  the  contractual
preference  dividends  to  be  declared  semi-annually  on  the  Sasol  preferred  ordinary
shares held by the funding companies. The obligation must be settled in cash and the
funding  companies  are  not  entitled  to  settle  the  obligation  through  the  issuing  of
additional  equity  instruments.  However,  after  the  ten  year  period  if  the  debt  is  not
settled  in  full,  the  Sasol  preferred  ordinary  shares  held  by  the  funding  companies  will
automatically be Sasol ordinary shares which will be listed on the JSE Limited. These
shares will be sold to the extent required and the proceeds realised on the sale thereof
will be utilised by the funding companies to settle their remaining obligations in respect
of the preference debt.

  In the event of a short-fall during the transaction term (being ten years), the Company
may at its sole discretion subscribe for E preference shares in the funding companies in
order to enable the funding companies to redeem the preference shares and/or comply
with their obligations under the financing agreements. These E preference shares were
not issued at the inception of the transaction or to date.

•

the number of shares held by the funding companies and the number of shares held by
the Black Public and Selected Participants and whether the identification of the holder
impacts your conclusion as to whether such shares represent treasury shares for
purposes of your basic earnings per share calculation. In this regard, it appears from
your disclosure that certain shares related to the Black Public offering are held by
members of the Black Public rather than by entities consolidated by Sasol;

Response

The identification of the holder did impact the conclusion as to whether such shares
represent treasury shares for purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation.

If the shares are held through the consolidated funding companies (special purpose
entities), they are treated as treasury shares for purposes of the basic earnings per
share calculation. If the shares are held directly by the Black Public Invitation – Cash
option, they are not treated as treasury shares and are included in the calculation of the
weighted average number of shares for the purposes of the basic earnings per share
calculation.

  Participants in the Black Public Invitation – Funded option, through the funding
company, Sasol Inzalo Public Funding (Pty) Limited, subscribed for 16,1 million Sasol
preferred ordinary shares. At 30 June 2009, 57 254 Sasol preferred ordinary shares,
which were not subscribed for by the Black Public, were issued to the facilitation trust,
which is funded by Sasol.

  The Selected Participants, through the funding company, Sasol Inzalo Groups Funding
(Pty) Limited, subscribed for 8,4 million Sasol preferred ordinary shares.  At 30 June
2009, 1,1 million Sasol preferred ordinary shares, which were not subscribed for by the
Selected Participants, were issued to the facilitation trust, which is funded by Sasol.

page 5 of 8

The number of shares held by the funding companies and the number of shares held
by the facilitation trusts are as follows:

The preferred ordinary shares subscribed for and issued to the consolidated funding
companies and facilitation trusts (special purpose entities) are accounted for as treasury
shares for the purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation. Treasury shares are
not treated as outstanding shares and as such these shares are excluded from the
calculation of the weighted average number of shares (refer IAS 33.IE2).

The Black Public Invitation – Cash option allowed members of the black public to invest
directly in Sasol through subscribing for a new class of ordinary shares, Sasol BEE
ordinary shares. The Sasol BEE ordinary shares have the same rights as existing
ordinary shares; however they cannot be traded for the first two years of the transaction
term of ten years and, for the rest of the transaction term, can only be traded between
black people and black groups. At the end of the transaction term, the Sasol BEE
ordinary shares will automatically be Sasol ordinary shares and will then be listed on the
JSE Limited. At 30 June 2009, 16 097 BEE ordinary shares, which were not subscribed
for by the Black Public – Cash option, were issued to the facilitation trust, which is funded
by Sasol and consolidated as a special purpose entity. The remaining Sasol BEE
ordinary shares issued directly to the Black Public are not held through consolidated
special purpose entities.

  The Sasol BEE ordinary shares form part of the ordinary shares and as such are
included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares for the purposes of
the basic earnings per share calculation. The BEE ordinary shares issued to the
consolidated facilitation trust (special purpose entity) are accounted for as treasury
shares for the purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation. Treasury shares are
not treated as outstanding shares and as such these shares are excluded from the
calculation of the weighted average number of shares (refer IAS 33.IE2).

  •   Finally, please tell us how you considered the impact of these shares for purposes of

      calculating diluted earnings per share. Refer to authoritative accounting literature as

      appropriate.

Response

The preferred ordinary shares subscribed for by the Black Public Invitation – Funded
option and the Selected Participants were accounted for as treasury shares for the
purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation. Treasury shares are not treated as
outstanding shares and as such these shares are excluded from the calculation of the
weighted average number of shares (refer IAS 33.IE2).

10 years and will remain treasury shares within the current structure and were therefore
not considered to be dilutive on the earnings per share calculation.

Furthermore, consideration was given to the number of Sasol ordinary shares that would
be required to be issued to settle the A and B preference debt held by the funding
companies (refer note 43 on F-118 and F-119). It was noted that these preference debt
funding arrangements would have a potential dilutive impact on the earnings per share
calculation (refer IAS 33.58).

  Participants in the Black Public – Cash option subscribed for Sasol BEE ordinary shares
directly in the Company. The Sasol BEE ordinary shares form part of the calculation of
the weighted average number of shares for the purposes of the basic earnings per share
calculation. No adjustment is made for the diluted weighted average number of shares
calculation in respect of these shares as they form part of the underlying basic earnings
per share calculation (refer IAS 33.36). The shares that have not been subscribed for at
30 June 2009 (16 097 Sasol BEE ordinary shares) are accounted for as treasury shares.
Treasury shares are not treated as outstanding shares and as such these shares are
excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number of shares (refer IAS
33.IE2). These shares are therefore excluded from the diluted weighted average number
of shares calculation as their impact on the diluted earnings per share calculation is not
considered to be significant.

indicates that fair value of the share based payment expense in respect of the Black Public
Invitation – funded option included an exercise price assumption of R366 per share. We
further note your disclosure that the Black Public contributed equity between 5% to 10% of
the underlying Sasol preferred ordinary shares allocation. Please clarify how much of the

Dear Mr. Schwall

  Sasol Limited
Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009
Filed October 9, 2009
File No. 1-31615

  We refer to the Staff’s comment letter dated 2 March 2010, relating to the Form 20-F of Sasol
Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2009. Set forth below in detail are the
responses to the Staff’s comments, which have been provided in each case following the text
of the comment in the Staff’s letter. The Staff is referred to the definitions contained in the
Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2009.

  1.    We note you classify dividends paid as an operating cash flow, and you classify dividends

paid to non-controlling shareholders as a financing cash flow. Please explain to us how
you considered paragraph 34 of IAS 7 as it relates to the classification of each respective
type of dividend in your statement of cash flows.

  Response

The Company acknowledges its compliance with the guidance provided in IAS 7
Statement of Cash Flows, paragraph 34.

Dividends paid by the Company to its own shareholders represent a cash outflow from the
normal operating activities of the business. This classification assists the Company’s own
shareholders to determine the ability of the Company to pay dividends out of operating
cash flows as generated by the business through its normal operating activities.

Non-controlling shareholders contribute to the equity funding and financing of the
subsidiaries of the Company. Any dividends paid to non-controlling shareholders represent
the cost of servicing those financing obligations and similarly, any contributions from non-
controlling shareholders are also classified as financing activities.

The Company made an accounting policy election to treat dividends as indicated and this
has been consistently applied in the past.

2.
  We note you spent R5 665 million to enhance existing projects in fiscal 2009. Please

describe to us in more detail the nature of these enhancements and how you considered
the recognition provisions in paragraph 7 of IAS 16. Your response should specifically
address the items noted in your disclosure of enhancements on page F-51.

Response

The financial statements included in our Form 20-F for  the year ended 30 June  2009
provide disclosure of the Company’s accounting policies on page F-17, relating to costs
capitalised for work in progress in respect of activities to develop, expand or enhance
items of property, plant and equipment which are classified as part of assets under
construction.

  The capitalisation of these costs meets the criteria of IAS 16 Property, Plant and
Equipment, paragraph 7, in that the expenditure is incurred to sustain the operations of the
Company as well as meet legal and environmental obligations, after consideration by the
Company’s engineering and accounting staff. The capital improvements increase the
useful lives of the plant operations and the plant production yields. In addition, IAS 16.11,
states that property, plant and equipment acquired for safety and environmental reasons,
although not directly increasing future economic benefits of any particular existing item of
property, plant and equipment, may be necessary for the entity to obtain future economic
benefits from its other assets. It is therefore probable that future economic benefits
associated with the items will flow to the Company. All costs can be reliably measured.

The projects to enhance existing operations, as noted on page F-51 and F-52, are
discussed below:

•

The selective catalytic cracker baseline optimisation programme project at the Sasol
Synfuels plant in Secunda, South Africa, amounting to R206 million, was aimed at
lowering the octane quality of the Sasol Synfuels petrol pool by phasing out lead from
the fuel pool in order to comply with environmental regulations.

•

The sulphuric acid plant amounting to R134 million was required to comply with more
stringent environmental regulations to reduce Sulphur (H

2

S) levels.

3.    Please provide a quantitative and qualitative reconciliation with respect to your weighted

average shares outstanding with the actual issued shares disclosed on page F-121. In this
regard, we note your weighted average shares used for basic and diluted EPS purposes at
June 30, 2009 appear to be less than the actual number of shares issued at June 30,
2008. In addition, please clarify how you determined that the ordinary shares issuable
upon the conversion of Sasol Inzalo share rights in respect of the Employee and
Management Trust were anti-dilutive.

Response
The disclosure provided on page F-121 provides a reconciliation of the shares issued and
cancelled during the year.  The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of
shares issued at 30 June 2009 to the weighted average number of shares used for basic
and diluted earnings per share (EPS) purposes.

* Weighted average number of shares is the time-weighted number of shares.
# Per page F-121.

Included in treasury shares is the total number of ordinary shares that the Company has
repurchased in terms of the share repurchase programme (refer note 48 on page F-140)
as well as the ordinary shares, preferred ordinary shares and BEE ordinary shares
subscribed for and issued to consolidated special purpose entities in terms of the Sasol
Inzalo share transaction. Treasury shares are not treated as outstanding shares and as
such these shares are excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number of
shares (refer IAS 33.IE2).

page 4 of 8

During the year ended 30 June 2009, a total of 31 500 000 ordinary shares, which had
previously been held as treasury shares, had been repurchased by Sasol Limited from
Sasol Investment Company (Pty) Limited, whereupon they were cancelled and restored to
authorised ordinary share capital. The cancellation of shares in 2009 reduces the weighted
average number of shares that are used for basic and diluted EPS at 30 June 2009 (refer
table above).

  As regards the determination of the anti-dilutive effect of the Sasol Inzalo Employee Trust
and the Sasol Inzalo Management Trust shares, the number of Sasol ordinary shares that
employees and management will receive at the end of the ten year period is contingent on
Sasol’s right to repurchase a certain number of these shares (which shares will be
cancelled immediately). Diluted EPS will be affected by the right to repurchase Sasol
ordinary shares at the end of the ten years. The number of ordinary shares not
repurchased may be potentially dilutive. In terms of IAS 33 Earnings per Share, paragraph
52, the number of contingently issuable shares included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the
reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Accordingly, the Company
determines the dilutive effect of these shares using a pre-determined formula (as detailed
in The Deed of Trust for the Sasol Inzalo Management Trust and The Deed of Trust for the
Sasol Inzalo Employee Scheme filed as exhibits 4.2 and 4.3 to our annual report on Form
20-F for the year ended 30 June 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 7
October 2008) as if the end of the reporting period was the end of the ten year period. In
substance, the equity instruments received by the employees and management are similar
to options. Therefore, the assessment of whether the number of shares calculated at each
reporting date is dilutive, would be based on the same principles as options granted by the
Company.

  Based on the above methodology all shares will be repurchased, resulting in the share
rights of the Sasol Inzalo Employee and Management Trusts not being dilutive at 30 June
2009. We will clarify this disclosure in the Form 20-F to be filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended 30 June 2010.

4.    We note your disclosure on page F-131 that the fair value of the equity settled share-

based payment expense relating to the share rights issued to the Black Public is expensed
immediately. Please clarify how this statement comports with the table on page F-128,
which appears to indicate the fair value of the shares issued in fiscal 2009 was R6 927
million but only R2 435 million of expense was recognized in your fiscal 2009 financial
statements.

  Response

In preparing the disclosure provided on page F-128, the value of the shares issued in 2009
was calculated based on an issue price of R366 per share multiplied by the number of
shares issued. These shares have been reflected as issued shares, as per page F-121.

In respect of the Black Public Invitation – Funded option, the share-based payment
expense recognised by the Company was based on the fair value of the share rights
issued by the Company to Sasol Inzalo Public Funding Limited at the grant date. The fair
value of the share rights was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
based on the assumptions on page F-133, with one of the assumptions being the exercise
price of R366 per share (IFRS 2.17). There is no direct relationship between the amount of
R5 888 million (value of issued Sasol preferred ordinary shares) accounted for in terms of
IAS 32 and the R2 232 million which represents the share-based payment expense
accounted for in terms of IFRS 2.

  In respect of the Black Public Invitation – Cash option, the share-based payment expense
recognised by the Company was based on the difference between the issue price (cash
received for the Sasol BEE ordinary shares issued) of R366 per share and the market
price on the grant date per page F-133 (IFRS 2.16).

page 6 of 8

5.
  Please help us to understand the basis for the vesting period and dividend yield

assumptions used in calculating share-based payment expense for the Black Public
Invitation -Funded transactions. For the vesting period assumption, please clarify why you
disclose a vesting period assumption of 10 years in the table on page F-133 when the
table on page F-132 appears to indicate all shares issued in the Black Public Invitation
transactions were fully vested at the issuance date. In addition, with respect to the
dividend yield assumption, please explain why you used an expected dividend yield
assumption of 3,0% in light of your disclosure on page F-131 that the Black Public are
entitled to receive a dividend of up to 5% of the dividend on the Sasol preferred ordinary
shares.

  Response

Participants in the Black Public Invitation – Funded option are required to hold the
preferred ordinary shares for a period of ten years, but the Sasol preferred ordinary shares
vest immediately. There are no service conditions attached to these shares. The share-
based payment expense is thus recognised immediately upon inception of this part of the
transaction. In preparing the disclosure on page F-132, the share-based payment expense
has been recognised immediately for the Black Public Invitation, as if the share rights had
already vested. The disclosure in F-133 reflects the period for which the participants in the
Black Public invitation are required to hold the shares, which is used in the Black-Scholes
valuation model to determine the fair value of the Black Public Invitation – Funded option
(life of the option). We will clarify this disclosure in the Form 20-F to be filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended 30 June 2010.

The Black-Scholes valuation model is used to determine the fair value of the Black Public
Invitation – Funded option. The expected dividend yield of the shares and share rights
granted is determined using the historical dividend yield of the Sasol ordinary shares
which is 3%. The fair value is determined using an historic rate as it is considered to be a
more accurate reflection of the expected future dividend yield.

The preferred ordinary shares are only entitled to receive a dividend if dividends are
declared on the Sasol ordinary shares. Of any dividend declared, the Black Public are
entitled to receive a dividend of up to 5% in proportion to their effective interest in Sasol’s
issued share capital, from the commencement of the fourth year of the transaction term of
ten years, subject to the financing requirements of the preference share debt.

6.    We note you disclose reserves for your Secunda and Sasolberg operations. In addition to

the assumptions you presently disclose for estimating your reserves, please disclose the
assumed costs ($/ton) used to determine your estimated coal reserves pursuant to Section
A of Industry Guide 7.

  Response

We have determined economical viability of our reserves, pursuant to Section A of Industry
Guide 7, using a break-even price. Our models take into account our actual mining cost
(which includes the production rate and the impact on maintenance where coal is mined
under difficult mining conditions) versus the selling price. Increases in sales prices would
result in the reserve block still being economically viable, however drops in production
rates would result in an evaluation being performed to reassess the economic viability of
that reserve block. Decreases in sales prices could result in postponing mining activities in
a specific reserve block, or adjusting extraction assumptions which would enable the coal

page 7 of 8

to be economically extracted (i.e. undermining poor quality coal which might have a
negative cost impact). These incidences would be catered for under the geological loss
factor. Therefore, based on our models, we believe it more appropriate to reflect the break-
even price per ton.

  Sasol Mining primarily supplies to an internal market from its Secunda and Sasolburg
operations. Internal coal sales are to Sasol Synfuels and Infrachem. We also supply the
export market. This price information is highly confidential and not for public disclosure as it
is used for internal transfer pricing purposes.

  Form 20-F for the Year Ended June 30, 2007   Filed November 21, 2007   File No. 1-31615

 Dear Ms. Ramon:
We have reviewed your Form 20-F for the Year Ended June 30, 2007 and have
the following comments.  Please provide a written response to our comments.  Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation.  In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure.  After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.   Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.  We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.   General

 1. We note in the “Regional Office:  Dubai” section of your website that Sasol Middle East supplies and serves several countries, including Syria, and that G.D. Portbury Limited, operating as Sasol Gulf, supplies and serves several regions, including East Africa.  Your filing doe s not include any specific information
regarding business contacts with Syria or with Sudan, which is located in eastern Africa.  Syria and Sudan are countries identified by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors of terrorism, and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export controls.  Please describe to us the nature and extent of your past, current, and anticipated contacts with Syria or Sudan, if any, whether through direct or indirect

arrangements.  Your response should describe in reasonable detail any products, technology, and services you have provided into those countries, and any agreements, commercial arrangements, or other contacts with the governments of those countries or entities controlled by them.
 2. Please discuss the materiality of any contacts described in response to the foregoing comment, and whether they would constitute a material investment risk for your security holders. You should address materiality in quantitative terms, including, for each referenced country, the approximate dollar amounts of any associated revenues, assets, and liabilities for the last three years.  Please also address materiality in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an investment decision, including the potential impact of corporate activities upon a company’s reputation and share value.

We note, for example, that Arizona and Louisiana have adopted legislation requiring their state retirement systems to prepare reports regarding state pension fund assets invested in, and/or permitting divestment of state pension fund assets from, companies that do business with countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism.  The Missouri Investment Trust has established an equity fund for the investment of certain state-held monies that screens out stocks of companies that do business with U.S.-designated state sponsors of terrorism.  The Pennsylvania legislature has adopted a resolution directing its Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to report annually to the General Assembly regarding state funds invested in companies that have ties to terrorist-sponsoring countries.  States including California, Connecticut, Maine,  New Jersey, and Oregon have adopted,
and other states are considering, legislation prohibiting the investment of certain state assets in, and/or requiring the divestment of certain state assets from, companies that do business with Sudan.  Your materiality analysis should address the potential impact of the investor sentiment evidenced by such actions directed toward companies that have business contacts with Syria and Sudan.

 General

 3. Expand your discussion throughout this section to discuss fully the causes of material changes to your financial results. We note the discussion of your results in your 2007 Annual Report posted on your website which contains details not found in the MD&A in your 20-F.   The purpose of this section in the 20-F is to provide management’s explanation of factors that have affected your financial condition and results of operations and management’s assessment of factors and

Ms. Kandimathie Christine Ramon
Sasol Limited
January 31, 2008 Page 3

trends which are anticipated to have a material effect on your financial condition and results of operations in future periods.  Refer to Item 5 of Form 20-F.  As examples only, we note the following:

• We note the discussion of engineering contract costs on page 135 of the 20-F, and your statement that a shortage of engineering resources is straining the industry and “may impact our project plans and growth ambitions.”  Quantify  the impact this shortage is having, and may have, on your operations, especially in light of the planned expansions of your synfuels business.  We further note the disclosure in your July 2007 investor newsletter on page 6 that this shortage has affected your ability to implement major capital projects in line with initial timelines and within budget, especially in regard to Project Turbo and the third octene train.

• In your discussion of the 2007 results of your synfuels business on page 154 of the Form 20-F, you say that production volume decreased due to maintenance shutdowns and “instability in your support utilities,” which also impacted 2006 results.  We note the statement on page 11 in your 2007 Annual Report that “Interruptions in power supply have become more frequent….” Expand your discussion in the Form 20-F to state whether this trend is expected to continue and, if so, its impact across this reporting segment.

• In the discussion of your synfuels business in your 2007 Annual report on
page 33, you note your plan to expand production capacity 20% over the next nine years, adding the equivalent of 30,000 barrels per day to production volumes.  Expand your discussion in the Form 20-F to quantify the impact this potential project will have on your operations.

• In the discussion of your synfuels business in your 2007 annual report on page 33, you discuss Project Mafutha, and state that you have earmarked significant funds for this project. We note your statement that, “Apart from its obvious strategic importance, we estimate that the plant, the residential area and all its supporting utilities will add around one percent to the country’s GDP and create thousands of new jobs.”  Expand your discussion in the Form 20-F to quantify the impact this potential project will have on your operations.

4. We note your discussion of the results for this business and that you had to increase imports due, in part, to “…difficulties at the Sasol Synfuels operations.”   Please explain what you mean by this statement.
 Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 177

 5. Expand your discussion in this section to specifically discuss the impacts that known trends will have on your future liquidity.  As examples only, discuss the impacts that Project Mafutha, the expansion of the capacity of your synfuels plant, and your BEE initiative involving the buyback of 10% of your stock will have on your future liquidity.
 Compensation, page 192

6. Tell us whether the “Remuneration Report” by the Compensation Committee that appears in your 2007 Annual Report is required by South African law.  If it is so required, include it in the Form 20-F.

 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-7

 Note 9 Goodwill, page F-51

 7. Within the table reconciling beginning and end of the year goodwill, you present a line item identified as ‘Reversal of fair  value write-down of disposal group held
for sale’.  This description appears to imply you are reversing an impairment loss on goodwill.  As such, please tell us how this reversal is consistent with the guidance in paragraph 124 of IAS 36.

Dear Mr. Schwall

Sasol Limited Form 20-F for the Year Ended June 30, 2007
Filed November 21, 2007
Response letter dated March 11, 2008
File No. 1-31615

We refer to the Staff’s comment letter dated 15 April 2008, relating to the Form 20-F of Sasol
Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2007 and our response letter dated
March 11, 2008. Set forth below in detail are the responses to the Staff’s comments, which
have been provided in each case following the text of the comment in the Staff’s letter. The
Staff is referred to the definitions contained in the Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2007.

1.

Please confirm that in all future filings you will include, to the extent applicable, the
disclosure requested below.

Response
We confirm that in future filings we will include to the extent applicable, the disclosures
requested below as appropriate.

2.

We note your response to the first bullet point of our prior comment 3. Please provide
the disclosure set forth in the third paragraph of the first bullet of your response to this
comment regarding your building into planned projects your experience in regard to the
shortage in the availability and competence of engineering resources.

Response
With regards to the shortage in the availability and competence of engineering
resources, we are currently addressing this issue by entering into long-term
relationship agreements with large reputable engineering contractors, both locally in
South Africa and internationally. These agreements should provide Sasol with
preferential access to the resource pools of these engineering contractors on a global
basis. We foresee that this pro-active initiative will benefit our current projects including

page 2 of 3

the Sasol Synfuels 20% production capacity expansion project, project Mafutha and
our coal-to-liquids projects in China. Further we are bolstering our internal capacity in
engineering and project management resources through a focused effort on attracting,
developing and retaining our employees that have these skills. In addition, we have
also entered into long-term relationship agreements with major equipment
manufacturers in order to reduce the impact of equipment delivery times on our
projects.  These agreements should provide Sasol, as with engineering contractors,
with preferential access to the manufacturing capacity of these equipment
manufacturers on a global basis. Project execution planning is taking cognisance of
the equipment lead times in order to mitigate the negative impacts to as great an
extent as possible. The Company will expand our disclosure in future filings to include
the following:

“In order to mitigate the shortage of the availability of engineering resources, we have
entered into long-term relationship agreements with large reputable engineering
contractors, both locally in South Africa and internationally. These agreements should
provide Sasol with preferential access to the resource pools of these engineering
contractors on a global basis in order to sustain our projects and growth plans.”

3.

We note your response to the second bullet of our prior comment 3 and our prior
comment 4. Discuss the reasons for the unplanned outages at Sasol Synfuels, the
duration of the outages, the steps Sasol Synfuels is taking to address the reasons for
the outages, and an estimation of the costs of remediation, to the extent material.

Response
The unplanned shutdowns were primarily related to Sasol Synfuels’ equipment failures
associated with power interruptions resulting from power surges experienced during
2007. The unplanned outages accounted for approximately 3 phase (quarter of factory)
production days in total.  Sasol Synfuels has embarked on an equipment replacement
programme of its electrical switchgear which will restore the integrity of its production
facilities to prevent any further losses associated with power outages.  The value of the
equipment replacement programme amounts to R1,2 billion of which R240 million has
been spent to date. The Company will expand our disclosure in future filings to include
the following information:

“During 2007 Sasol Synfuels experienced unplanned production outages of
approximately 3 phase factory production days in total, resulting from power surges
due to internal equipment failures. An amount of R240 million has been incurred to
date on an equipment replacement programme to remediate this matter.”

4.

We note your responses to the third and fourth bullets of our prior comment 3
concerning the 20% production capacity expansion of your Synfuels business and
Project Mafutha. Provide the costs of the pre-feasibility and feasibility studies
undertaken to date relating to these projects and the budget for these studies or other
activity regarding these projects for the next fiscal year. Provide the current project
schedules.

Response
Both the Sasol Synfuels 20% production capacity expansion project and project
Mafutha are in the pre-feasibility study stage. With respect to the Sasol Synfuels 20%

page 3 of 3

production capacity expansion project, we have approved capital of R4 002 million
towards the execution of the first 4% growth and have incurred an amount of R70
million in 2007 and R183 million in 2008 to date related to the pre-feasibility studies for
the balance of the growth project. The forecast and budget for pre-feasibility costs for
2008 and 2009 is R285 million and R1 billion, respectively. It is currently anticipated
that the pre-feasibility study will be completed by the end of 2009. With respect to
project Mafutha, the pre-feasibility studies have only commenced in 2008. We have
incurred an amount of R30 million in 2008 to date related to the pre-feasibility study.
The forecast and budget for pre-feasibility costs for 2008 and 2009 is R72 million and
R243 million, respectively. It is currently anticipated that the pre-feasibility study will be
completed by the end of 2009. Feasibility studies will commence once the pre-
feasibility studies have been completed. The Company will expand our disclosure in
future filings to include the following information:

“During 2007, Sasol Synfuels has incurred costs of R70 million in respect of pre-
feasibility studies related to their 20% production capacity expansion project. It is
anticipated that the pre-feasibility studies will be completed by the end of 2009 at an
estimated cost of R1,2 billion. In addition, we have approved capital of R4 002 million
towards the execution of the first 4% of the growth project.

During 2008, project Mafutha entered into the pre-feasibility study stage. In 2008, we
incurred costs related to these studies of R72 million. It is anticipated that the pre-
feasibility studies will be completed by the end of 2009 at an estimated cost of R243
million.”

We appreciate the Staff’s review of the Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2007. Should
the Staff have any questions or require any additional information, please telephone the
undersigned at +27-11-441-3435. My email address is

Dear Mr. Schwall

Sasol Limited Form 20-F for the Year Ended June 30, 2007
Filed November 21, 2007
File No. 1-31615

We refer to the Staff’s comment letter dated 31 January 2008, relating to the Form 20-F of
Sasol Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2007. Set forth below in detail are
the responses to the Staff’s comments, which have been provided in each case following the
text of the comment in the Staff’s letter. The Staff is referred to the definitions contained in the
Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2007.

1.

We note in the “Regional Office: Dubai” section of your website that Sasol Middle East
supplies and serves several countries, including Syria, and the G.D. Portbury Limited,
operating as Sasol Gulf, supplies and serves several regions, including East Africa.
Your filing does not include any specific information regarding business contacts with
Syria or with Sudan, which is located in eastern Africa. Syria and Sudan are countries
identified by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors of terrorism, and are subject
to U.S. economic sanctions and export controls. Please describe to us the nature and
extent of your past, current, and anticipated contacts with Syria or Sudan, if any,
whether through direct or indirect arrangements. Your response should describe in
reasonable detail any products, technology, and services you have provided into those
countries, and any agreements, commercial arrangements, or other contacts with the
governments of those countries or entities controlled by them.

Response
The Company does not have any operations in Syria or the Sudan and is not currently
contemplating investing in operations in these countries.

The Company does not provide, and has not provided, any technology to persons in
Syria or the Sudan, and the Company is not currently contemplating doing so in the
future.

page 2 of 9

The Company does not have any agreements, commercial arrangements, or other
contacts with the governments of Syria or the Sudan, or to our knowledge with entities
controlled by them.

The Company, directly through its affiliates, Sasol Olefins and Surfactants, Sasol
Solvents and Sasol Wax and through its distributors, has sold chemical products to
entities in Syria and the Sudan during fiscal 2007. None of these products were
manufactured in the Company’s United States based operations, nor were any of
these products sold by an entity incorporated in the United States. Total sales to
entities in the Sudan amounted to R136 million for the year ended 30 June 2007.  Total
sales to entities in Syria amounted to R19.4 million for the fiscal year ended 30 June
2007.

The products are generally used in the detergent, personal care and food industries
and in the production of paint and adhesives. These sales consisted of:
•

Esters (Brand name Cosmacol)
This product is used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the tactility of
creams and the efficiency of sunscreens.

•

Medical grade Poly Ethylene Glycol (Brand name Lipoxol Med)
Pharmaceutical application.  This product is used as a solvent or dilluent to modify
the physical attributes of liquids (like cough syrup) and has limited application as a
laxative.

•

Triglyceride (Brand name Witepsol)
Pharmaceutical application, usually used in suppositories.  This product is a waxy
carrier, with no medicinal attributes of its own.

•

Nonylphenol Ethoxylates
Industrial Detergent and emulsifier.  Also used in textile applications like leather
processing.

•

Alcohols (Carbon length 16 - 18)
Commodity chemical used to produce raw materials for detergents.

•

Paraffin (Brand name Linpar)
Commodity petrochemical.  Very basic molecule with various uses in the
petrochemical industry, amongst others a building block for detergent raw
materials.

•

Gasoil
Oil refinery raffinate stream. This product has energy value and contains
paraffins.

•

Alcohol Based Surfactants (Various brand names)

•

Ketones

•

Acrylates

•

Candle wax
This product is used in the manufacture of candles.

All of these products are commodity-type products which are readily available from
many suppliers in the international market.

Please discuss the materiality of any contacts described in response to the foregoing
comment, and whether they would constitute a material investment risk for your
security holders. You should address materiality in quantitative terms, including, for
each referenced country, the approximate dollar amounts of any associated revenues,
assets, and liabilities for the last three years. Please also address materiality in terms
of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an
investment decision, including the potential impact of corporate activities upon a
company’s reputation and share value.

We note, for example, that Arizona and Louisiana have adopted legislation requiring
their state retirement systems to prepare reports regarding state pension fund assets
invested in, and/or permitting divestment of state pension fund assets from, companies
that do business with countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism. The Missouri
Investment Trust has established an equity fund for the investment of certain state-
held monies that screens out stocks of companies that do business with U.S.-
designated state sponsors of terrorism. The Pennsylvania legislature has adopted a
resolution directing its Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to report annually to
the General Assembly regarding state funds invested in companies that have ties to
terrorist-sponsoring countries. States including California, Connecticut, Maine, New
Jersey, and Oregon have adopted, and other states are considering, legislation
prohibiting the investment of certain state assets in, and/or requiring the divestment of
certain state assets from, companies that do business with Sudan. Your materiality
analysis should address the potential impact of the investor sentiment evidenced by
such actions directed towards companies that have business contacts with Syria and
Sudan.

Response
The Company’s total sales to entities in the Sudan and Syria in fiscal 2007, 2006 and
2005 totalled R121.6 million, R254.2 million and R115.5 million, respectively.

These sales are not considered a material investment risk for our security holders for
several reasons.  In the first place, they represent a negligible percentage of our total
sales (0.12% of total sales of R98,127 million in 2007, 0.31% of total sales of R82,395
million in 2006, and 0.17% of total sales of R69,239 million in 2005).  There are no
assets and liabilities in these countries. Secondly, the products sold are commodity-
type products that are readily available in the international markets and sales thereof in
these countries do not represent a commercial priority for the Company.  Finally, the
Company does not have, nor does it have plans to develop, operations in these
countries.

The Company is generally aware of the legislation adopted by various States in the
United States cited in your letter. The Company believes that due to the relative
insignificance of the Company’s business with Syria and the Sudan, such business will
not be deemed important by a reasonable investor in making an investment decision
and that this legislation will not have a material impact on our reputation or share
value.

Expand your discussion throughout this section to discuss fully the causes of material
changes to your financial results. We note the discussion of your results in your 2007

your 20-F. The purpose of this section in the 20-F is to provide management’s
explanation of factors that have affected your financial condition and results of
operations and  management’s assessment of factors and trends which are anticipated
to have a material effect on your financial condition and results of operations in future
periods. Refer to item 5 of Form 20-F. As examples only, we note the following:

•
  We note the discussion of engineering contract costs on page 135 of the 20-F, and

your statement that a shortage of engineering resources is straining the industry
and “may impact our project plans and growth ambitions.” Quantify the impact this
shortage is having, and may have, on your operations, especially in light of the
planned expansions of your synfuels business. We further note the disclosure in
your July 2007 investor newsletter on page 6 that this shortage has affected your
ability to implement major capital projects in line with initial timelines and within
budget, especially in regard to Project Turbo and the third octane train.

•
  In your discussion of the 2007 results of your synfuels business on page 154 of the

Form 20-F, you say that production volume decreased due to maintenance
shutdowns and ‘instability in your support utilities,” which also impacted 2006
results. We note the statement on page 11 in your 2007 Annual Report that
“Interruptions in power supply have become more frequent….” Expand your
discussion in the Form 20-F to state whether this trend is expected to continue
and, if so, its impact across this reporting segment.

•
  In the discussion of your synfuels business in your 2007 Annual Report on page

33, you note your plan to expand production capacity 20% over the next nine
years, adding the equivalent of 30,000 barrels per day to production volumes.
Expand your discussion in the Form 20-F to quantify the impact this potential
project will have on your operations.

•
  In the discussion of your synfuels business in your 2007 Annual Report on page

33, you discuss Project Mafutha, and state that you have earmarked significant
funds for this project. We note your statement that, “Apart from its obvious strategic
importance, we estimate that the plant, the residential area and all its supporting
utilities will add around one percent to the country’s GDP and create thousands of
new jobs.” Expand your discussion in the Form 20-F to quantify the impact this
potential project will have on your operations.

Response
We acknowledge that the Annual Report contains some information which is not
contained in the Form 20-F.  We believe that in the context of the information furnished
in our report on Form 20-F this additional information is not material to the overall
understanding of our business and operations.  We note that the Annual Report by its
own terms cross-references the more detailed information in the Form 20-F, and
indeed the 20-F is by far more complete and detailed.  We will in the future endeavour
to ensure that such discrepancies between the documents are eliminated to every
extent possible.

With respect to the examples cited, please note the following

•
  Globally, capital projects are experiencing a shortage in the availability and

competence of engineering resources. We have taken due cognisance of the
findings and predictions as reflected by reports  published in 2006/7 that speak to
the issues of shortage of engineering resources, fabrication capacity globally,
delivery times of major equipment and predictions of schedule and cost increases
on a global basis and built the general trends into our calculations. The reports
referred to have been generated by Cambridge Energy Research Associates

  (CERA) (www.cera.com), IPA (Independent Project Analysis) (www.ipaglobal.com),

  CII (Construction Industry Institute) (www.construction-institute.org) and

  consultants in the field such as the Contax Group (www.contaxgroup.com). The

  following as quoted from CERA, "Large oil and gas production projects worldwide

  are likely to continue to suffer delays owing to an expanding shortfall of qualified

  project engineering resources. Compared with the estimated number of staff

  needed to deliver projects, there could be a potential 10 to 15 percent “people

  deficit” by 2010, according to a new analysis by CERA.  CERA’s conclusion is

  based on a comprehensive analysis of the engineering and project management

  staff needed to deliver the over 400 major projects expected to come on-stream

  over the next five years."

We believe that the risks associated with doing business in South Africa, which
would incorporate the aforementioned factors, are fully disclosed in our 2007 Form
20-F Item 3D: Risk Factors under the caption “There are risks related to countries
in which we operate that could adversely affect our business, operating results,
cash flows and financial condition”. We will endeavour to ensure that where in
future we are able to quantify with a responsible degree of accuracy the impact of
these trends our filings will include the impact thereof.

As far as is practically and realistically possible, we have already built in the
learning obtained from the Project Turbo and 3

rd

 Octene Train projects into the

planned expansions for Synfuels Growth and for the whole of the Natural Gas and
Secunda Growth Programme with the goal of reducing or addressing the potential
problems referred to in the previous paragraph. Indeed we are continually
incorporating our own and others’ learning into our capital project plans and growth
strategies to sufficiently address these trends.

Additionally, we continue to factor in the potential impacts that may be experienced
in South Africa because of capital project developments currently happening within
our transportation, infrastructure and power generation industries.

•
  Power interruptions at our Synfuels plant occurred during 2007 which were related

to both internal equipment failures and external supply risks. Sasol Synfuels is
busy with a major replacement programme of switchgear and control systems as
part of the renewal maintenance expenditure. This will improve the reliability of the
utility systems over the next few years.

page 6 of 9

Management of electricity supply between Synfuels and Eskom, the South African
state owned national electricity supplier, takes place on a continuous basis and no
unplanned interruptions were envisaged at that time.  As is the case with other
industrial companies in South Africa, Synfuels has, however, embarked on an
energy efficiency optimisation process and self-generation projects to reduce
aggregate electricity demand and which will yield an improvement in the medium
term. The placement of orders for open cycle gas turbines has already
commenced. Further opportunities for increased self generated electricity are being
investigated.

Though we do not believe that these power interruptions have materially affected
our operations, we will assess in future reports whether such interruptions are
expected to continue, particularly if they are estimated to have a material impact on
our business.

•    The projected 20 percent volume growth, if realised, would have a significant

impact on the up and downstream part of our value chain. This project consists of
two phases, with approximately 15 percent of the growth expected to come via
natural gas and the remainder from coal based high temperature gasification. The
first gas based phase is currently in the feasibility study stage whilst the coal based
growth is in the pre-feasibility stage. If undertaken, growth

         Sasol Limited Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005
                             Filed October 26, 2005
                                File No. 1-31615

Dear Ms Davis

We refer to comment 5 of the Staff's comment letter dated August 9, 2006,
relating to the Form 20-F of Sasol Limited (the "Company") for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2005 and our response letter dated September 8, 2006. Set forth
below in detail are the responses to the Staff's questions and observations
arising from the teleconference between Sasol (represented by: Martin
Poggiolini, Andre Botha, Darren Ghavalas, Mike van Wyk and Pieter Booysen) and
the SEC Staff (represented by: Jonathan Deursch, Kevin Stertzel and Jim Murphy)
held on September 14, 2006. The Staff is referred to the definitions contained
in the Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

     General
     The Company would like to clarify that the grossing up of the Etame, Gabon
     oil reserves for "income taxes" as referred to on page G-4 of our Form 20-F
     for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and the subject of comment 5 of the
     Staff comment letter dated August 9, 2006 are "corporate taxes" based on
     gross revenue less deductible expenses (i.e. taxable profits) as referred
     to in articles 26.1(e) and 26.3 (b) of the production sharing contract with
     the Republic of Gabon and not the royalty type taxes according to article
     26.1(b). In accordance with amongst others the quoted articles the Company
     is indeed liable for corporate tax (calculated on taxable profits) and are
     required to complete corporate tax returns in this regard.

1.   Tell us whether the company had a choice of remitting tax on profits in
     kind or in cash upon negotiating the initial assumption of the production
     sharing contract.

     Response
     Kindly be advised that the Company acquired its interest in the Etame
     license in Gabon subsequent to the negotiation and finalization of the
     production sharing contract between the initial contractors and the
     Government of Gabon. The Company was not party to the initial negotiations
     (1995) with the Government of Gabon and cannot find conclusive evidence as
     to whether the payment of taxes in cash or in kind was open for negotiation
     when the contract was concluded. Subsequent to the acquisition by the
     Company of its interest in the Etame license (2001) we have accounted for
     the production sharing agreement (in respect of the income statement
     presentation, reserve oil disclosures and the standard measure of oil and
     gas presentation) in accordance with the terms of the contract.

<PAGE>

     Based on the contract we have with the government of Gabon for the Dussafu
     license (which is presently still in the exploration stage) the principal
     terms of the contracts appear to be consistent with those of the Etame
     license. From this we can only derive that this is the typical structure of
     a production sharing contract entered into with the Gabonese government.

     Both the Etame license and Dussafu license contracts create the provision
     for the government to have the option to either receive the "corporate tax"
     in kind or through requesting the operator to sell the oil on behalf of the
     government and to make payment in cash.

     It is unclear to us as to how the original negotiations surrounding the
     payment method between the government of Gabon and the contractors at the
     time should impact the accounting and reporting of our "corporate tax"
     obligation arising from our activities on the Etame license, especially in
     view of the fact that the Company acquired its interest subsequent to when
     the original license terms were negotiated by the initial contractors.

2.   Confirm whether or not historical payments of the tax on profits have been
     made in cash or in kind or both.

     Response
     Historically in accordance with the production sharing contract the
     government of Gabon has elected to have the total production representing
     the mining rights and the "corporate tax" obligation monetized on its
     behalf by the contractors and the proceeds thereof remitted in cash.

                                    * * * * *

We appreciate the Staff's prompt review of our response to the third comment
letter dated and assisting us in resolving the outstanding comments prior to the
filing of our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Should the
Staff have any questions or require any additional information, please telephone
the undersigned at +27-11-441-3841. My e-mail address is

Dear Mrs. Christine Ramon

We have reviewed your filing and response letter and have the following
comments.  We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have addressed
in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments.  If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation.  In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure.  After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.

1. We note your response to our prior comment number four, that indicates the Company expenses mine development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of the main asset.  Please tell us the nature of the development costs you are expensing as incurred.  In addition, please tell us why you do not believe these mine development costs have future economic benefit.

2. We note your response to prior comment five including your proposed disclosure indicating your view that capitalization of around mine exploration costs is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are unable to agree with your conclusion.  As previously indicated, it is unclear how the potential future economic benefits associated with these costs rise to the level of probability required under U.S. GAAP to capitalize costs, as proven and probable reserves underlying those costs have not been established at the time the costs were incurred.  We also refer you to the Division of Corporation Finance: Frequently Requested Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance, March 31 200; II Guidance About Disclosures; F.1. Issues in the Extractive Industries; which can be located on our website at:
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpf in/guidance/cfactfaq.htm#P267_55290

 Based on your response it appears that the effect of these costs, had they been
expensed, would not have had a significant impact on net income in any given period, however, your response did not provide a materiality conclusion as to each period or address the accumulated capitalized cost effect regarding your statements of financial position.  As previously requested please provide us with your materiality analysis and conclusions in accordance with SAB Topic 1:M. In the event you determine that the impact is immaterial please explain how you intend to monitor your accounting policy regarding the impact of these costs in future periods.

3. We note your response and proposed disclosure to prior comment three regarding the reasonably possible contingent loss with respect to the explosion at the Secunda West ethylene production facilities.  Please expand your disclosure to more fully describe the nature of the contingent loss.  Additionally, please expand your proposed disclosure to clarify how you have addressed your assessment using terms defined in paragraph 3 of SFAS 5 regarding the likelihood of loss.

Please expand your disclosure on page 72 of your document to further describe the judgments and assumptions underlying the recognition and measurement of the liability. Refer to Interpretive Response to Question 5 of SAB Topic 5.Y.

Engineering Comments

Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (unaudited), page G-4

5. We have reviewed your response to prior comment number 13.  Please explain why you believe it is appropriate to include the effects of taxes in your reserve determination based on Rule 4-10(a) of  Regulation S-X and other SEC proved
reserve guidance.  Please also provide further clarification of how you factored your tax liability into your economic interest based on the terms of the production sharing contract and the specific bases for this adjustment.  In this regard it appears that in a given year, the reserves you can claim are based on:

• the percent, or share of future production estimated to be lifted that is contractually due to the company;

• the amount of cost recovery due, if any, divided by the price of oil at the end of the year.

It appears that if you may pay taxes through the delivery of oil, you will pay it out of the above sources of oil due to the company over the life of the contract.  As SFAS 69 paragraph 10 specifically states under Disclosure of Proved Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities that “net” quantities shall not include reserves relating to the interests of others, it remains unclear how your tax liability allows you to “gross up” your proved net reserves to include additional volumes that are owed as taxes.  Please provide further clarification or revi se your reserves as necessary.  Finally,
tell us if you included these “grossed up” volumes in the calculation of future net revenues in the Standardized Measure.

Closing Comments

 As appropriate, please amend your filing and respond to these comments within
10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.  You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to expedite our review.  Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested information.  Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review.

                                File No. 1-31615

Dear Ms Davis

We refer to the Staff's comment letter dated August 9, 2006, relating to the
Form 20-F of Sasol Limited (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2005 and our response letters dated April 13, 2006 and July 21, 2006. Set forth
below in detail are the responses to the Staff's comments, which have been
provided in each case following the text of the comment in the Staff's letter.
The Staff is referred to the definitions contained in the Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

1.   We note your response to our prior comment number four, which indicates the
     Company expenses mine development cost incurred subsequent to the
     establishment of the main asset. Please tell us the nature of the
     development costs you are expensing as incurred. In addition, please tell
     us why you do not believe these mine development costs have future economic
     benefit.

     Response
     --------
     Underground mine development costs incurred after the main asset is ready
     for use, includes the installation and upgrade of underground
     infrastructure. Underground infrastructure includes conveyor systems
     (belting, structure, idlers and drives), power- and water reticulation,
     telemetrics, substations and dams or seals.

     Due to the nature of the Company's mining activities continuous underground
     mine development costs are incurred when accessing new mining areas. These
     costs do have future economic benefit to the Company and should have been
     capitalized. The average expected useful life over which these development
     costs will provide future economic benefit is approximately five years.

     The Company will amend its current accounting practice of primary
     geographical expansion where it is expected to have future economic benefit
     to the Company. The Company has considered the materiality of the
     accounting practice of expensing primary geographical expansion in
     accordance with SAB Topic 1:M. The net effect on "earnings attributable to
     shareholders" and the accumulated impact on the financial position of the
     Company is not considered material. The Company proposes to make the
     amendment prospectively in the financial statements for the 2006 financial
     year.

2.   We note your response to prior comment five including proposed disclosure
     indicating your view that capitalization of around mine exploration costs
     is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are unable to agree with your
     conclusion. As previously indicated, it is unclear how the potential future
     economic benefits associated with these costs rise to the level of
     probability required under the U.S. GAAP to capitalize costs, as proven and
     probable reserves underlying those costs have not been established at the
     time the costs were incurred. We also refer you to the Division of
     Corporation Finance: Frequently Requested Accounting and Financial
     Reporting Interpretations and Guidance, March 31 2001; II Guidance About
     Disclosures; F.1. Issues in the Extractive Industries; which can be located
     on our website:

     ---------------------------------------------------------------------

     Based on your response it appears that the effect of these costs, had they
     been expensed, would not have had a significant impact on net income in any
     given period, however, your response did not provide a materiality
     conclusion as to each period or address the accumulated capitalized cost
     effect regarding your statements of financial position. As

<PAGE>

     previously requested please provide us with your materiality analysis and
     conclusions in accordance with SAB Topic 1:M. In the event you determine
     that the impact is immaterial please explain how you intend to monitor your
     accounting policy regarding the impact of these costs in future periods.

     Response
     --------
     The Company notes the guidance included in Division of Corporation Finance:
     Frequently Requested Accounting and Financing Reporting Interpretations and
     Guidance, March 31, 2001, II Guidance About Disclosure; F.1. The Company
     would like to clarify that it defines "around mine exploration costs" as
     costs incurred to explore the reserve formation of "producing mines or
     development properties". The reserve formation has already been the subject
     of a feasibility study that has determined that commercially minable
     deposits exist prior to these exploration costs being incurred. Exploration
     costs incurred to explore outside or around the commercially minable
     deposit for additional reserves are not capitalized.

     Based on this definition of "around mine exploration costs", the company
     continues to believe that these exploration costs have future economic
     benefits as they relate only to exploring within a reserve formation that
     has been the subject of a feasibility study and determined to contain
     commercially minable deposits and thus are properly capitalized. The
     company includes materiality information as the Staff requested, but has
     not performed a materiality analysis based on the conclusion noted above.

     regarding the reasonably possible contingent loss with respect to the
     explosion at the Secunda West ethylene production facilities. Please expand
     your disclosure to more fully describe the nature of the contingent loss.
     Additionally, please expand your proposed disclosure to clarify how you
     have addressed your assessment using terms defined in paragraph 3 of SFAS 5
     regarding the likelihood of loss.

<PAGE>

     Response
     --------
     The Company proposes to include the following disclosure in the Form 20-F
     for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006:

          "On September 1, 2004 the lives of ten employees and contractors were
     lost and a number of employees and contractors were injured during an
     explosion that occurred at our Secunda West ethylene production facility.

          Since January 2006, the Company, Solidarity, the Chemical, Energy,
     Paper, Printing, Wood and Allied Workers' Union and an attorney
     representing the unions have been in negotiations to find a mechanism to
     pay compensation to the dependants of people that died or were physically
     injured in the accident to the extent that they had not been previously
     compensated in terms of existing policies and practices. It was agreed to
     establish an independent trust, the September 2004 Accident Trust, to
     expeditiously make ex gratia grants to persons who were physically injured
     in the September 1, 2004 explosion at our Secunda West ethylene production
     facilities and to the dependants of persons who died in that accident. The
     September 2004 Accident Trust was registered on 29 June 2006. Qualifying
     victims of the accident have been invited to submit applications for
     compensation. These grants will be calculated in accordance with the
     applicable South African legal principles for the harm and loss suffered by
     them as a result of the accident to the extent that they have not already
     been compensated.

          The Company will fund the September 2004 Accident Trust to pay the ex
     gratia grants. Whilst accepting social responsibility, the Company has not
     acknowledged legal liability in creating the trust. As at June 30, 2006 it
     is believed that a loss contingency exists and that it is probable that the
     future claims will be received from the dependents of the deceased or from
     those physically injured and to whom ex gratia grants will be made. No
     accrual has been made as at June 30, 2006 as the amount of the loss cannot
     be reliably estimated. The future payments are dependent on the number of
     applications submitted to the Trust, the independent findings of each
     application and the calculation of the grants based on the applicable South
     African legal principles. It is believed that the possible loss is unlikely
     to exceed R20 million."

4.   We note response indicating that you will amend future filings to disclose
     the recognized obligation and suggesting that the disclosure of a range of
     loss is not applicable. Please expand your disclosure on page 72 of your
     document to further describe the judgments and assumptions underlying and
     measurement of the liability. Refer to Interpretive Response to Question 5

  Filed October 26, 2005
  Response Letter Dated April 13, 2006
File No. 1-31615

Dear Mr. Trevor Stewart Munday:

We have reviewed your filing and response letter and have the following
comments.  We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have addressed
in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments.  If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation.  In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure.  After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments.

Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005

General  –

1. We have reviewed your response le tter dated April 13, 2006.  We note your
discussion of your contract for the purchas e of Iranian crude, and your conclusion as
to the materiality of your purchases of Ira nian crude.  It appears, from publicly
available information, that Naftiran is owned by the Iranian government.   Please
discuss for us whether your payments of approximately $220 million per annum to an entity controlled by the Iranian government may negatively impact your reputation and share value because they may be deem ed to enhance Iran’s financial ability to
support terrorist activity and weapons development programs.

2. We remain of the view that  it would be appropriate for future filings to indicate the
bases for the sanctions programs discussed in your risk factor headed “There is a

possible risk that sanctions may be imposed by the US Government as a result of
our Iran-related activities. ”  In our view, such disclosure would provide context for,
and additional clarity to, the existing disclosure under that heading.

Accounting

General

1. We note you have requested confidential treatment with respect to Appendix A
as attached to your response letter dated April 13, 2006, although all pages include the confidential treatment request header.  Please remove the “Confidential Treatment Requested by Sasol Limited, File No. 1-31615” header from all pages, other than Appendix A for which confidential treatment has been requested, and resubmit your response letter dated April 13, 2006, to EDGAR.

2. We note that you have proposed to expand or revise your disclosure in response to prior comments 5, 6, 12, 13, 16, 18, 20 and 21, which you have indicated will be incorporated into future filings.  We are considering your proposal for prospective revision and will not be in a position to conclude on your proposal until such time that all of your pending comments are resolved.

Financial Statements

Statement of Cash Flows, page F-6

3. We note your response to prior comment four indicating that it is reasonably possible that a liability may be incurred in connection with the explosion at the Secunda West ethylene production facilities.  Because it appears you were unable to determine an estimated liability or range of loss related to this matter, please expand your disclosures under your commitments and contingencies to specifically describe this potential loss and the reasons you are unable to currently estimate the liability or possible range of loss.  Refer to paragraph 10 of SFAS 5.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies page F-8

Property Plant and Equipment

4. We note your response to prior comment six indicating that you amortize your life-of-mine assets over the total proven and probable reserves assigned to each specific mine.  With respect to mine development costs, please explain why you believe it is more appropriate to amortize life-of-mine assets over the total proven and probable reserves rather than those reserves benefited by

development costs in the immediate and relevant producing area.  Clarify what assets you deem to be life-of-mine assets.

Exploration and Development Costs, page F-11

Mining

5. We note your response to prior comment seven indicating you capitalize costs only after a feasibility study has determined proven and probable reserves. We also note your response suggesting that costs associated with around-mine exploration are capitalized, although around mine reserves have not been ascertained.  It is unclear how you have concluded that capitalization of around-mine exploration costs are appropriately capitalized for U.S. GAAP purposes.  In this regard it appears the future economic benefit of such costs remains uncertain because proven and probable reserves underlying those costs have not been established at the time the costs were incurred.  Accordingly, please reconcile your response with your accounting policy disclosure.  Please quantify the accumulated capitalized around-mine exploration costs for all periods presented and provide us a materiality analysis of the financial statement effect had you expensed these costs for all periods presented.  Your materiality analysis should apply the principles in SAB Topic 1:M.

Oil and Gas

6. We note your response to prior comment nine in which you have included your amortization policy disclosure associated with development costs of your oil and gas properties within your “Mining” accounting policy.  Please relocate your amortization policy regarding your oil and gas properties within your “Oil and Gas” accounting policy so as not to be confused with your mining activities.

7. We note your proposed disclosure and response to prior comment 10 indicating that you do not believe our industry letter applies to your circumstances regarding your buy/sell arrangements.    Although the net effect of buy/sell arrangements may not be significant, the disclosure requirements set-forth in our letter should be considered to the extent these arrangements are material on a gross volume or dollar basis.  To the extent these arrangements are material on a gross basis, please disclose how you account for these arrangements; the characteristics of these arrangements; the circumstances under which they are used; and quantify the gross proceeds and the related costs. In the event you believe these arrangements are not material please provide us with your qualitative and quantitative materiality analysis.

8. We note your proposed expanded disclosure in response to prior comment 13 regarding your revenue recognition policy applied to your dealer-owned supply agreements for liquefied fuels sales, indicating that you retain title to product to secure payment while recognizing revenue associated with the delivery of the product.  Please address the following:

• Explain how you have concluded that collection of revenue is reasonably assured since it appears requisite for you to retain title in order to ensure collection.

• Explain how the risks of your product have passed to the customer upon delivery since you retain title and clarify when title passes.

• Explain to us why these sales are not recognized as revenue on a consignment basis.

Note 14, Goodwill and intangible assets, page F-55

9. We note your response to prior comment 15 and remain unclear as to the nature of your capitalized exploration expenditures.  Please describe in further detail these exploration expenditures by indicating the specific types of costs you are capitalizing.

Note 15, Property, Plant and Equipment, page F-57

10. We note your response to prior comment 15 indicating that you will expand your disclosures to include the after-tax effect of the change in estimated useful lives

Litigation, F-70

11. We note your response and proposed disclosure to prior comment 18 regarding your assessment of likelihood by matter.  However, in some matters which you have noted as reasonably possible or probable you have not disclosed the possible range of loss or stated that such an estimate cannot be made. For example, but without limitation, you disclose the historical costs of the EDC pipeline litigation, which you indicate is reimbursable by RWE-DEA. However your disclosure does not provide an explicit quantification of the possible range of loss or indicate that no loss is expected, or state that an estimate cannot be

made. Additionally you have assessed the sulfur dioxide litigation as probable without discretely disclosing the amount accrued or the possible estimated range of loss related to this matter. Refer to paragraph 10 of SFAS 5.

Environmental Orders, page F-73

12. We note your response to prior comment 19 indicating that you are unable to determine the exact costs of your liability related to environmental soil and ground water contamination, although you have accrued an amount which is included as a component your asset retirement obligation. Please quantify the amount accrued within your commitment and contingencies note and disclose the possible range of loss currently estimated.  Refer to paragraph 10 of SFAS 5.

Mining Engineering Comments

14. Tables 1, 2, and 3 were received and address the coal quality issues as requested.  Please amend the filing to include these tables and incorporate the other proposed changes.

                                File No. 1-31615

Dear Ms Davis

We refer to the Staff's comment letter dated June 6, 2006, relating to the Form
20-F of Sasol Limited (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005
and our response letter dated April 13, 2006. Set forth below in detail are the
responses to the Staff's comments, which have been provided in each case
following the text of the comment in the Staff's letter. The Staff is referred
to the definitions contained in the Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2005.

General

1.   We have reviewed your response letter dated April 13, 2006. We note your
     discussion of your contract for the purchase of Iranian crude, and your
     conclusion as to the materiality of your purchases of Iranian crude. It
     appears, from publicly available information, that Naftiran is owned by the
     Iranian government. Please discuss for us whether your payments of
     approximately $220 million per annum to an entity controlled by the Iranian
     government may negatively impact your reputation and share value because
     they may be deemed to enhance Iran's financial ability to support terrorist
     activity and weapons development programs.

     Response
     --------
     We are not aware of any formal or informal prohibition or restraint placed
     internationally or by the South African government on the Company on the
     procurement of oil from Iran. The procurement of oil from Iran is not
     considered to pose a material risk to the Company. We are not aware of any
     negative impact that our activities in Iran have had on our reputation or
     share value. We are also not in a position to judge or conclude that the
     financial benefit to Iran from our activities, including our annual
     purchases of crude oil, in any way enhances or is utilized to support
     terrorist activity or weapons development programs.

     The Company has disclosed on page 45 of the Form 20-F that 50% of our crude
     oil requirements for our Natref refinery is obtained from the Middle East.
     The Company will expand this disclosure in future filings by providing the
     amount of crude oil procured from Iran.

2.   We remain of the view that it would be appropriate for future filings to
     indicate the bases for the sanctions programs discussed in your own risk
     factor headed "There is a possible risk that sanctions may be imposed by
     the US Government as a result of our Iran-related activities." In our view,
     such disclosure would provide context for, and additional clarity to, the
     existing disclosure under that heading.

     Response
     --------
     The Company still believes that as a South African company, we are unable
     to comment on the political issues influencing US legislation. The Company
     will, however, include the following sentence in the risk factor headed
     "There is a possible risk that sanctions may be imposed by the US
     Government as a result of our Iran-related activities" in future filings:

     "ILSA was adopted by the US Government with the objective of denying Iran
     and Libya the ability to support acts of international terrorism and fund
     the development or acquisition of weapons of mass destruction."

     In addition we confirm that in future filings we will disclose the fact
     that the Iranian Transaction Regulations prohibit or restrict most
     transactions between US persons and Iran and that the Iran and Libya
     Sanctions Act is now applicable only to Iran as noted in our previous
     response.

Accounting
1.   We note you have requested confidential treatment with respect to Appendix
     A as attached to your response letter dated April 13, 2006, although all
     pages include the confidential treatment requested here. Please remove the
     "Confidential Treatment Requested by Sasol Limited, File No. 1-31615"
     header from all pages, other than Appendix A for which confidential
     treatment has been requested, and resubmit your response letter dated April
     13, 2006, to EDGAR.

     Response
     --------
     The "Confidential Treatment Requested by Sasol Limited, File No. 1-31615"
     header was removed and the response letter dated April 13, 2006 was
     resubmitted to EDGAR on July 18, 2006.

2.   We note that you have proposed to expand or revise your disclosure in
     response to prior comments 5, 6, 12, 13, 16, 18, 20 and 21, which you have
     indicated will be incorporated into future filings. We are considering your
     proposal for prospective revision and will not be in a position to conclude
     on your proposal until such time that all of your pending comments are
     resolved.

     Response
     --------
     The Company expects to file its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal
     year ended June 30, 2006 during October 2006 when the proposed amendments
     and additions to our disclosure will be provided. We respectfully propose
     that, due to the short period of time before the filing of our next Form
     20-F and the fact that we are not currently raising capital, the request to
     make these amendments prospectively in future filings receives favorable
     consideration.

3.   We note your response to prior comment four indicating that it is
     reasonably possible that a liability may be incurred in connection with the
     explosion at the Secunda West ethylene production facilities. Because it
     appears you were unable to determine an estimated liability or range of
     loss related to this matter, please expand your disclosures under your
     commitments and contingencies to specifically describe this potential loss
     and the reasons you are unable to currently estimate the liability or
     possible range of loss. Refer to paragraph 10 of SFAS 5.

     Response
     --------
     At the time of filing the Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005
     no claims were brought against the Company. While it was reasonable
     possible that a liability may be incurred, the Company was unable to
     estimate a range of loss due to the fact that no claims were asserted
     against the Company and the Company was at an early stage of discussions
     with various trade unions and legal representatives.

     As the Company expects to file its Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June
     30, 2006 during October 2006 the Company proposes to include additional
     disclosure under the commitments and contingencies note in the Form 20-F
     for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 which will take into account
     developments in this regard since the filing of our previous Form 20-F.

     The relevant facts subsequent to the filing of our Form 20-F for the fiscal
     year ended June 30, 2005 are as follows:

     The Company, trade unions Solidarity and the Chemical, Energy, Paper,
     Printing, Wood and Allied Workers' Union ("CEPPWAWU"), and legal
     representative Richard Spoor agreed to establish an independent trust, the
     September 2004 Accident Trust, to expeditiously make ex gratia grants to
     persons who were injured in the September 1, 2004 explosion at our Secunda
     West ethylene production facilities and to the dependants of persons who
     died in the accident.

     The September 2004 Accident Trust was registered in June 2006. Qualifying
     victims of the accident have been invited to submit applications for
     compensation.

     Since January 2006, the Company, CEPPWAWU, Solidarity and Richard Spoor
     have been in negotiations to find a mechanism to pay compensation to the
     dependants of people that died or were injured in the accident to the
     extent that they had not been previously compensated.

     The September 2004 Accident Trust, will make ex gratia grants to compensate
     persons injured or dependants of persons who died in the accident. These
     grants will be

     calculated in accordance with the applicable South African legal principles
     for the harm and loss suffered by them as a result of the accident to the
     extent that they have not been compensated previously.

     The Company will fund the September 2004 Accident Trust to pay the ex
     gratia grants. Whilst accepting social responsibility, the Company is not
     acknowledging legal liability in creating the trust. Future payments are
     dependent on the number of applications submitted to the Trust, the
     independent findings of each application and the calculation of the grants
     based on the applicable South African legal principles.

4.   We note your response to prior comment six indicating that you amortize
     your life-of-mine assets over the total proven and probable reserves
     assigned to each specific mine. With respect to mine development costs,
     please explain why you believe it is more appropriate to amortize
     life-of-mine assets over the total proven and probable reserves rather than
     those reserves benefited by development costs in the immediate and relevant
     producing area. Clarify what assets you deem to be life-of-mine assets.

     Response
     --------
     The following assets are classified as life-of-mine assets:
         o    Previously capitalized exploration cost on which development has
              occurred and mining activities commenced;
         o    Surface infrastructure (e.g. shaft systems including fans and
              hoists and sub-stations);
         o    Underground infrastructure (e.g. underground workshops);
         o    Surface equipment (e.g. the screening plant);
         o    Plants (e.g. beneficiation plant and water treatment plant); and
         o    Coal handling facilities.

     Underground mine development costs are capitalized until the main asset,
     for example a new shaft, is ready for use. Any further underground mine
     development costs incurred after this date are expensed through the income
     statement.

     The proven and probable reserves of a specific mine is used in calculating
     amortization of the life-of-mine assets that are deployed to extract or
     beneficiate that reserve base (i.e. the reserve base which benefits from
     the utilization of the asset). If a specific asset (e.g. the coal handling
     facility) is used for the benefit of a specific mining complex, the proven
     and probable reserves of that complex are used in the calculation of
     amortization of the asset.

     The Company will clarify our disclosure in future filings to include the
     following information.

     "Proven and probable reserves used for the amortization of life-of-mine
     assets are the total proven and probable reserves assigned to that specific
     mine (accessible reserves) or complex which benefit from the utilisation of
     those assets. Inaccessible reserves are excluded from the calculation."

5.   We note your response to prior comment seven indicating you capitalize
     costs only after a feasibility study has determined proven and probable
     reserves. We also note your response suggesting that costs associated with
     around-mine exploration are capitalized, although around mine reserves have
     not been ascertained. It is unclear how you have concluded that
     capitalization of around-mine exploration costs are appropriately
     capitalized for U.S. GAAP purposes. In this regard it appears the future
     economic benefit of such costs remains uncertain because proven and
     probable reserves underlying those costs have not been established at the
     time the costs were incurred. Accordingly, please reconcile your response
     with your accounting policy disclosure. Please quantify the accumulated
     capitalized around-mine exploration costs for all periods presented and
     provide us a materiality analysis of the financial statement effect had you
     expensed these costs for all periods presented. Your materiality analysis
     should apply the principles in SAB Topic 1:M.

     Response
     --------
     The Company noted in our previous comment that coal mining exploration
     expenditure is only capitalized once a feasibility study has determined
     that there are proved and probable reserves within a specific area.

     The Company's accounting policy as disclosed in the Form 20-F for the
     fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 is as follows:

     "Mining exploration expenditure is expensed as incurred until completion of
     a final feasibility study supporting proved and probable reserves. Mining
     exploration costs incurred subsequent to proved and probable reserves being
     identified are capitalized.

     Exploration and development expenditure in respect of producing mines or
     development properties is capitalized only when excavation or drilling has
     occurred to extend reserves or further delineate existing proved and
     probable reserves."

     Based on our response to the previous comment and the accounting policy the
     Company believes that the capitalization of around-mine exploration is
     appropriate only when proved and probable reserves have previously been
     identified in that area. No exploration expenditure incurred in areas where
     a feasibility study has not been performed was capitalized by the Company.

     Included below are the details of the coal mining exploration costs
     capitalized and expensed for the periods presented:

                                        2005       2004      2003
                                            (Rand in millions)
     Expensed to income statement(1)       -          2         -
     Capitalized (2)                      17         23        31

     (1) The exploration costs expensed to the income statement relate to
     exploration activity from which proved and probable reserves were not
     identified.
     (2) The total capitalized exploration costs relate to around-mine
     exploration activity from which proved reserves were identified.

Sasol Limited Form 20-F
for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005

Filed October 26, 2005

File No. 1-31615

Dear Ms Davis

We refer to the Staff’s comment
letter dated February 17, 2006, relating to the Form 20-F of Sasol Limited (the
“Company”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Set forth below in detail
are the responses to the Staff’s comments, which have been provided in each case
following the text of the comment in the Staff’s letter. The Staff is referred to the
definitions contained in the Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

          1.

          We note that on page 37 you state that you are investing $462 million in a
          new polymer plant in a joint venture with the National Petrochemical
          Company of Iran. We note also the information in your financial
          statements regarding the amount of assets, expenditures, capital commitments,
          revenue and loss associated with your operations in Iran. Finally, we
          note that a Reuters article dated February 18, 2005, reports that a firm
          you co-own was fined for the unlicensed sale to Iran of a chemical that
          can be used to make nuclear weapons.

In
light of the fact that Iran has been identified by the U.S. State Department as a state
sponsor of terrorism and is subject to U.S. economic sanctions, please describe
for us the extent and nature of any current or anticipated contacts with Iran that
are not already disclosed in your filing, including through affiliates,
subsidiaries, and other direct or indirect arrangements. Address for us the materiality
of your contracts with Iran, and discuss whether your dealings with Iran constitute a material
investment risk for your security holders.

In
preparing your response, please address materiality not only in quantitative terms, but
also in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in
making an investment decision, including the potential impact of corporate activities
upon a company’s reputation and share value. In this regard, we note that Arizona
and Louisiana have adopted legislation requiring their state retirement systems to

prepare reports regarding state pension fund assets invested in, and/or permitting
divestment of state pension fund assets from companies that do business with countries
identified as state sponsors of terrorism.

In
your materiality discussion, please also address the possibility that products sold into
Iran by you or your subsidiaries could be put to military uses, including the
manufacture of nuclear weapons as noted in the referenced Reuters article.

Response

The
Company, through its affiliates, currently contracts with entities in Iran for the sale of
chemical products. The products are generally used in the detergent, personal care and
food industries and in the production of paints and adhesives. The sale of products to
entities in Iran amounted to R71 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. These
sales included organic specialities and linear alkylbenzene by Sasol Olefins and
Surfactants, calcined medium temperature pitch coke by Sasol Synfuels, and ketones,
alcohols, acrylates, and glycol ethers by Sasol Solvents. Certain chemicals used for
commercial purposes can be used for, or applied to military purposes. To our knowledge,
the products supplied are not put into military use, although we have recently established
that approximately 1% of the solvents products we sell into Iran have been purchased by
agencies of the Ministry of Defence. As a result, the sales to these agencies have ceased
forthwith.

Through
our subsidiary Sasol Oil International Limited, the Company has a crude oil contract with
Naftiran Intertrade Company Limited for the purchase of 12,000 barrels per day of Iranian
crude oil (4.4 million barrels per annum), for processing at the Natref crude oil refinery
in Sasolburg, South Africa. The contract is negotiated for an annual period January to
December. The value of the contract is estimated at $220 million per annum at current oil
prices. During the 2005 calendar year, Sasol purchased approximately 4.8 million barrels
of Iranian crude oil.

African
Amines, an affiliate of which the Company owns 50%, exported dimethylamine
(“DMA”) in the 2003 financial year to Iran and Australia. African Amines was
fined R100,000 for the exportation to Iran without a permit in violation of the South
African Non-Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction Act, 1993 (Act 87 of 1993). DMA
is used to make a wide range of agricultural chemicals, including herbicides. African
Amines contracted with the export customers prior to the product being listed as a
substance that requires an export permit. The product was listed prior to the actual
export. Although the Company commenced the application of the permit the export was made
prior to receiving the permit. An internal African Amines disciplinary meeting was held on
July 11, 2003 to address the transgression and the appropriate disciplinary actions were
taken. It is the Company’s and African Amines’ policy to comply with
international non-proliferation regulations.

Sasol
Polymers Germany (“SPG”), a company incorporated and having its principal place
of business in Germany, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has
entered into a joint venture with the National Petroleum Company of

Iran (“NPC”)
to construct and operate an integrated ethylene and polyethylene production facility in
Iran, Arya Sasol Polymer Company.

The
Company’s capital commitment to the Arya Sasol polymer project was R3,277 million at
June 30, 2005 as disclosed on page 33 of the Form 20-F.

All
contacts regarding our polymers project in Iran have been disclosed in the Form 20-F for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 on the pages as noted by the Staff and no additional
contacts are foreseen.

Arya
Sasol Polymer Company will manufacture only ethylene and polyethylene. Ethylene is one of
the fundamental building blocks in the production of polyethylene. The ethylene which is
not used in the production of polyethylene will be sold to the external market.
Polyethylene is most widely used for the production of packaging materials. The material
is freely traded and is easily available. To our knowledge, these products will not be put
into military use.

We
believe the investment risk of our activities in Iran are adequately disclosed in the Risk
Factors in our 2005 Form 20-F under the caption “There is a possible risk that
sanctions may be imposed by the US Government as a result of our Iran-related
activities.” The risk factor discusses a potential imposition of sanctions in
connection with the Polymers project and also a potential gas-to-liquids (“GTL”)
project opportunity, with respect to which no investment decision has yet been made. The
Company is not progressing a feasibility study on the potential GTL project in Iran,
although this may change. The political situation in Iran is being monitored. If a
stage-one feasibility study is initiated it will, however, take up to two years before the
investment merits of a potential GTL project are precisely determined for consideration
and scrutiny by the relevant risk assessment, governance and investment decision making
bodies within the Company, which will also take full cognisance of the political situation
prevailing in Iran at that time. The Staff will be apprised in future filings of any
progress or changes in this regard. We do not believe the extremely small amount of export
sales to Iran or the purchase of crude oil from Iran for our Natref refinery pose any
material investment risk.

In
considering materiality, we have considered US sanctions legislation and we note the fact
that certain US states have adopted legislation relating to the divestment of state
pension fund assets from companies that do business with countries identified by the US
Government as state supporters of terrorism. To our knowledge our activities in Iran have
not had a negative effect on our reputation or share value.

          2.

          In future filings, please revise your risk factor regarding the possible risk
          that U.S sanctions may be imposed (p26) to:1) disclose that the Iranian
          Transactions Regulations prohibit or restrict most transactions between
          U.S. person and Iran, and that they are stated to have been adopted, in part, as
          a result of Iranian sponsorship of international terrorism and active
          pursuit of weapons of mass destruction; and 2) make clear that the Iran
          and Libya Sanctions, now applicable only to Iran, was adopted

          with the
          objective of denying those countries the ability to support acts of
          international terrorism and fund the development or acquisition of
          weapons of mass destruction.

Response

We
confirm that in future filings we will disclose the fact that the Iranian Transaction
Regulations prohibit or restrict most transactions between U.S. persons and Iran.
Additionally we will amend our disclosure to note that the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act is
now applicable only to Iran.

We
do not believe that references as to why the laws and regulations are stated as having
been adopted provide information relevant to the investment risk of the Company’s
investments in Iran to the reader of the Form 20-F. Moreover, as a South African company,
we are unable to comment on the political issues influencing US legislation.

          3.

          We note your disclosure indicating that the Governments of South Africa and
          Mozambique have a call option to acquire 50% of the shares of Rompco.
          Please describe to us in further detail the terms of the call option.

Response

From
the inception of the Mozambique Natural Gas Project the Company, as project sponsor and
developer, agreed with the Government of South Africa, as well as the Government of
Mozambique, the participation of Government-owned/controlled companies in the pipeline
portion of the project.

Republic
of Mozambique Pipeline Investments Company (Proprietary) Limited (“ROMPCO”) is
the South African incorporated company in which the pipeline portion of the project vests.

Upon
the request of the two Governments, the participation of the Government-nominated
companies, iGas (Proprietary) Limited (owned by the South African Government) and
Companhia de Moçambique de Gasoduto S.A.R.L. (“CMG”) (owned by the
Mozambique Government), was structured as an option to jointly acquire up to 50% of the
shares in ROMPCO. The detailed structure of the option was agreed to by the parties in the
ROMPCO Shareholders’ Agreement. In order to give effect to this option, a dual share
structure was implemented in ROMPCO in terms of which Sasol Gas Holdings (Proprietary)
Limited initially held 100% of the beneficial shares (full voting rights and rights to
dividends), the so-called Class B shares (10 million Class B shares). Each of iGas and CMG
initially held 2.5 million Class A shares (shares which have limited voting rights and no
right to dividends). Each Class A share affords the holder thereof a call option on 1
Class B share in ROMPCO, at a price determined in accordance with the price formula agreed
to by the parties in the ROMPCO Shareholders’ Agreement.

The
price at which iGas and CMG can purchase Class B shares from Sasol Gas Holdings is based
on the total capital invested in the construction of the Mozambique to South Africa
pipeline, together with an agreed risk premium. In the case of iGas, the option was
available until three months after the Company presented iGas with reserve reports by
independent reserve auditors indicating sufficient gas reserves in order to provide the
base load volume of 120 MGJ for the 25 year duration of the project. In the case of CMG
the option remains available until three months after the second anniversary of the
commercial commencement of the project and will accordingly lapse on June 26, 2006.

With
effect from July 1, 2005 iGas exercised its option to acquire 25% of the issued Class B
shares in ROMPCO from Sasol Gas Holdings, in accordance with the provisions of the ROMPCO
Shareholders’ Agreement.

CMG
is currently in the process of finalizing negotiations with a number of financiers to
acquire financing in order to exercise its option. In terms of the provisions of the
option, iGas will have the right to acquire the Class B Shares in respect of which CMG is
not able to exercise its option before the termination date thereof.

On
March 22, 2006 CMG submitted to Sasol Gas and iGas a formal request for the extension of
their option in order to afford it time to conclude its financing negotiations. The
request by CMG is currently being considered by the ROMPCO shareholders.

The
exercise of the option will affect neither the participating interests in the
unincorporated gas fields joint venture, nor the gas sales and gas transportation
contractual arrangements.

The
Company believes that the business risk profile of the particular investment will not be
adversely affected as a result of the exercise of the option. On the contrary, the Company
believes that the exercise of the option would positively affect the political risk
profile of the investment.

          We note your disclosure of the explosion at the Secunda West ethylene
          production facilities which R236 million insurance proceeds were
          received, net of excess payments. Please quantify the total proceeds
          received and separately state what amount was attributed to property casualty
          loss and business interruption insurance. Tell us how you have
          categorized these proceeds in your statement of cash flows. Additionally
          tell us the total costs associated with this event and whether further costs
          will be incurred in relation to this incident.

Response

The
total insurance proceeds received for the explosion at the Secunda West ethylene
production facility amount to R384 million. Of this amount R225 million was received in
respect of business interuption losses and R159 million in repect of property damage. The
excess payment for the business interuption losses claim was R68 million and the property
damage claim was R12 million. In preparing the disclosure provided on page
