Trading statement for the financial year ending 30 June 2016

In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, companies are
required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are
satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
financial results for the period to be reported will differ by
at least 20% from the financial results for the previous
corresponding period.

Sasol´s headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the financial
year ending 30 June 2016 are expected to decrease by between 10%
and 30% (approximating R4,98 to R14,93 per share) compared to
the 2015 financial year (comparable period) HEPS of R49,76.
Earnings per share (EPS) for the same period are expected to
decrease by between 53% and 73% (approximating R25,82 to R35,56
per share) from the comparable period EPS of R48,71.

The volatile macroeconomic environment, in particular lower
crude oil prices, has had a significant impact on earnings. EPS
was further impacted by the R7,4 billion (CAD665 million)
impairment of our share in the Montney shale gas asset
recognised in December 2015. Due to a further decline of natural
gas prices in North America, we will recognise an additional
impairment of approximately R4,1 billion (CAD340 million),
resulting in a total impairment of R11,5 billion. This
impairment contributed to a 39% decrease of EPS.

We expect production volumes and cost reductions to be better
than our previous guidance. Further details on our operational
and financial performance will be provided in a trading update
in early August 2016.
The current volatile market conditions may however further
impact our results, particularly changes in oil, product prices
and movements in the rand/dollar exchange rate.

The financial information on which this trading statement is
based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company's
external auditors. Sasol's financial results for the financial
year ending 30 June 2016 will be announced on Monday, 12
September 2016.

exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very
nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and
uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks
that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-

discussed more fully in our most recent annual report on Form

forward-looking statements to make investment decisions, you
should carefully consider both these factors and other
uncertainties and events. Forward-looking statements apply only
