South Africa Sleepwalking Toward 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.

Sasol's warning that gas from its Mozambique fields will only cover its own needs within two years signals a supply shortfall for South African industrial users, who are already delaying investment decisions amid the uncertainty. The absence of a government-backed alternative supply plan risks leaving manufacturers without a transition fuel for operations that currently depend on piped gas.
