Pipelines 2018 TRANSNET Pipelines 2 A A U D Pipelines 2018 TRANSNET Pipelines 2 Highlights • Revenue of R4,1 billion, excluding clawback and levy • A 1,43% increase in petroleum allowable revenue • EBITDA margin of 71% • Operationalisation of the Coastal Terminal (TM1) tightlining solution that enabled multi-product operation of the 24” Multi Product Pipeline (MPP) • Operationalisation of the Inland Terminal (TM2) which provides for an inland accumulation facility of 180 million litres • Achieved a disabling injury frequency rate DIFR of 0,09 (target: 0,68) • Maintenance of service delivery levels to customers Business overview Transnet Pipelines (Pipelines) is the largest multi-product operator in southern Africa, transporting hydrocarbons and methane-rich gas through a network of 3 800 km of pipeline infrastructure. Pipelines offers fully integrated supply chain solutions from source to destination while ensuring the best safety practices and optimum service reliability, and exceeding customer expectations through the division’s proficient human capital. To this effect, Pipelines currently transports: • More than 65% of all refined products to the inland market; • More than 70% of all jet fuel required at OR Tambo International Airport; • 100% of the crude requirements for the Natref Refinery; • 100% of the methane-rich gas requirements to KwaZulu-Natal for Sasol Energy and its gas clients; and • 100% of Tarlton’s volumes, of which 60% is distributed cross-border. The initiative to secure a direct import terminal in the port of Durban and a Terminal Operating Licence has become a key strategic objective for Pipelines, in alignment with the Transnet Liquid Fuels Master Plan to enable: • New market participants in line with the charter expectations, which emphasises the promotion of broad-based black economic empowerment and overall sector transformation; and • The Department of Energy’s Clean Fuels II Programme, which will necessitate increased import terminals due to changes in fuel specifications in the short to medium term. The MPP 24” trunkline is in full multi-product operation, transporting two diesel grades and two unleaded petrol grades as well as jet fuel. The inland accumulation facility was operationalised in December 2017 and will further facilitate security of supply to the market. A seamless integrated rail and pipeline service offering is currently in operation to OR Tambo International Airport, and other routes are being considered and optimised in this regard. The Regional Integration Strategy’s primary objective is to grow beyond South Africa’s borders, thereby repositioning Pipelines to be a liquid and gas operator of choice across Africa. The business diversification ambition also places emphasis on revenue streams that are non-regulated. Opportunities to diversify into the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market are also being pursued.

  • Overcoming the Legacy of Exclusion in South Africa
    Republic of South Africa Systematic Country Diagnostic Public Disclosure Authorized An Incomplete Transition: Overcoming the Legacy of Exclusion in South Africa Public Disclosure Authorized Background note Corporate Governance in South African State-Owned Enterprises Sunita Kikeri Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Corporate Governance in South African State-Owned Enterprises Sunita Kikeri1 Introduction State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play an important role in the South African economy. Since 1994 SOEs have been a significant vehicle for achieving economic growth and poverty reduction. They are especially important vehicles for addressing market failure and for delivering key infrastructure services such as energy, transport, and water that allow the economy to grow while ensuring equity through access and quality of social services to all citizens. Strengthening their role and performance is a key component of the Developmental State agenda. This agenda addresses the key challenges facing South Africa: high poverty and unemployment levels; skewed distribution and maintenance of infrastructure; unequal distribution of land and capital; and growing disparities between the rich and poor. The Government’s New Growth Path (NGP), which sets a target of creating five million additional jobs by 2020, specifically calls on SOEs to play a key developmental role. Other policies such as the National Development Plan (NDP), the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), and the Industrial Policy Action Plan also highlight the role of SOEs as major contributors to infrastructure development and to economic restructuring, while the Nine-Point Plan, which outlines Government priorities, includes addressing the electricity challenge and supporting reforms in SOEs. Through these initiatives, the Government’s goal is to ensure that SOEs deliver on broader developmental goals and that they support the transformation and competitiveness of the economy.

    Sasol beyond South Africa Who is Sasol? Sasol was founded in 1950 as Suid-Afrikaanse Steenkool en Olie (South African Coal and Oil) and was the world’s first coal-to-liquids refinery, now supplying 40% of South Africa’s fuel. The company has technology for the conversion of low-grade coal into synthetic fuels and chemicals. The company is also involved in many other industries, such as olefins and surfactants, polymers, solvents, ammonia, wax and nitrogen (used in fertiliser and explosives), among others. Protestors at the Global Day of Action during the UN’s 17th Conference of the Parties. Photo: groundWork Global activities Sasol is a global company listed on the New York and Johannesburg stock exchanges and has exploration, development, production, marketing and sales operations in thirty-eight countries across the world, including Southern Africa, the rest of Africa, the Americas, the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, Northern Asia, Southeast Asia, the Far East and Australasia. Sasol Petroleum International (SPI) is responsible for Sasol’s oil and gas exploration in countries beyond South Africa, including Gabon, Nigeria, Papua Niue Guinea and Australia, while Sasol Synfuels International (SSI) develops gas-to-liquids (GTL) plants in places such as Latin America, Australasia, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. 1 Africa Mozambique Mozambique’s current electricity generating capacity is around 2 200 MW, most of it from the Cahora Bassa hydroelectric dam. Most of that power is exported to neighbouring South Africa despite only about 18% of Mozambicans having access to electricity.

  • Overview of the Liquid Fuels Sector in South Africa
    DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY PRESENTATION TO THE IEP STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION NELSPRUIT 19 NOVEMBER 2013 PRESENTED BY: MJ MACHETE OVERVIEW OF THE LIQUID FUELS SECTOR IN SOUTH AFRICA BY MOHUDI MACHETE Historical Excursion On The Liquid Fuels Sector • Liquid Fuels sector is more than 100 years in SA • Almost all petroleum products sold in South Africa were imported as refined product by the respective wholesale companies who distributed this to their branded retailers and various commercial customers. • In the first half of the 1950s, the government-initiated project to produce oil from South Africa’s abundant low- grade coal reserves, which saw the formation of the South African Coal, Oil and Gas Corporation Limited, later called Sasol Limited • In 1955 the first oil-from-coal-synthetic fuel plant – Sasol One – was constructed Historical Excursion On The Liquid Fuels Sector • Period of the Sasol Supply Agreements (SSA) or the Main Supply Agreement (MSA) between Sasol and the major distributors. • The international oil crisis of 1973 accelerated government’s plans to expand the capacity of Sasol’s oil-from-coal facilities • The UN’s imposition in 1977 of a mandatory crude oil embargo underlined these concerns, as did the Iranian revolution of 1979. • Sasol Two and Sasol Three were commissioned at Secunda, also in the inland region, in 1980 and 1982 respectively. Historical Excursion On The Liquid Fuels Sector • In 1987 when natural gas condensate was discovered off shore, the Government built a gas-to-liquids plant Mossel Bay (now owned and operated by PetroSA). • The Mossgas plant commenced production in late 1992. • Government, in addition to its direct intervention through Sasol to secure indigenous sources of petroleum product, also encouraged private sector initiatives aimed at addressing these concerns.
