South Africa is sleepwalking toward a gas crisis, businesses warn

Sasol warns that in two years time there will only be enough gas coming from those fields for its own needs, leaving industries holding back their investments and clamouring for the government to find solutions.

South Africa is facing a potential gas crisis, according to businesses. Sasol has warned that in two years, its own gas fields will only have enough gas to meet its own needs. This has led to industries delaying investments and calling on the government to find solutions.

The country's gas supply is dwindling, with Moneyweb reporting that Sasol made the warning about its gas fields.

Vodacom Group is appealing a High Court ruling in Kenya regarding the sale of a 15 percent stake in Safaricom, but this development is unrelated to the gas crisis in South Africa, according to Capital Business.
