Rhinos are adapting well
Sasol bought two white rhinos in May in an effort to support the company’s general drive towards the conservation of rhinoceroses. The rhino bull is seven years-old and the cow is six years-old. The animals were dehorned as a means to protect them from poachers. They were bought from a private game
farm in Limpopo and are in excellent condition. With the purchase of these rhinos, Sasol also contributed to their game camp biodiversity. “Sasol is proud to play a part in rhino conservation and towards improving the environment in which it operates,” said Alex Anderson, spokesman of Sasol.

Gunmen target MTN shop
Sasol is home to two white rhinos. They were bought in May and seem to be settling in well in their new home.
The MTN Shop in Secunda Mall was robbed on Friday, 7 July at about 9:45. It is alleged that four men walked into the shop and pretended to be customers. According to Lieutenant Bettina Zondo, spokesman of Secunda Police, one of the suspects went to the manager and told her he wanted to buy a cell phone. He then held her hand and showed her he had a firearm and that she must keep quiet because a robbery is taking place. He took the manager to the back
of the shop and two of the other suspects joined two shop assistants. The suspects took 88 Samsungs, five Sony’s and 99 Huwei cell phones of an estimated value of R1 million. They locked the staff members in the back and ran away. The mall’s security guards noticed the suspects in a BMW and a white Golf 7. They gave chase and the police joined them. The BMW got a puncture and one suspect was arrested. Three suspects are still on the lose while the one suspect appeared in Secunda Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 10 July.
