SASOL RESPONDS TO STATEMENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA"S 2006 BUDGET SPEECH               
The South African Minister of Finance, Mr Trevor A Manuel, in his budget speech 
to parliament yesterday announced that a task team would be appointed to examine
the issue of a potential windfall gains tax on members of the Synthetic Fuel    
Industry.                                                                       
It is currently not possible to determine the potential impact of this          
statement.  Sasol will be interacting with Government to obtain greater clarity 
on the statements made in parliament.
