The meetings began after Sasol raised the estimated cost of the project by $1bn in May, having increased it only three months earlier, the company said in a response to questions. “The chairman of the Sasol board of directors together with management has held meetings with a number of shareholders to hear their views, concerns and expectations,” the company said on Monday.

The company’s market value has halved to R169bn over the past 12 months, making it the third-worst performer on an index of Johannesburg’s 40 biggest stocks.
