SASOL entered the Mozambican market in the late 1990s with an initial investment of US$1.25 billion. During its implementation and operations, to make its value chain robust, SASOL carried out multiple local content plans, aimed at employing Mozambicans and empowering local companies with emphasis to small and medium enterprises.
