In June 2010, the board of Sasol, under the direction of the Chairman,
embarked on a comprehensive recruitment programme for a successor to Pat
Davies. Internal and external candidates were considered with the search
extending both locally and internationally. The recruitment process sought to
identify the best leader for the role, within the criteria applied by the
Sasol Board, to ensure the candidate would be best positioned to most
effectively serve the Company`s interests at this juncture.
"We are excited to have found a chief executive of Davids`s calibre and
experience. His extensive engineering foundation has seen him take critical
leadership roles across the world in both developed and developing
economies", said Sasol Chairman, Hixonia Nyasulu.
Pat Davies said today, "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sasol and I`m
particularly pleased with the strong and diverse management team we have in
place. The company`s solid performance base and depth of talent has it well
positioned for growth both at home and abroad, and I am confident that under
David`s leadership, great strides will be made in delivering on Sasol`s
exciting growth strategy."
Davies has reached retirement age and will step down on 30 June 2011 with
