  • Sasol Limited requested clarification from Minister B. E. Molewa regarding the commencement date of GN893, noting that while clause 22 mentions "commencement", no specific date is provided in the notice.
  • Sasol argues that if GN893 took effect on 22 November 2013, it would place some of the company's activities into immediate non-compliance without a transitional period, which Sasol claims is "unreasonable and inconsistent" with other environmental laws.
  • Sasol requested a response by 13 December 2013, citing the urgency of the matter and potential negative impacts on the company and "South African liquid fue! security".
