Construction of energy and chemical company Sasol’s R15.3-billion Shondoni mine, near Secunda, is approaching completion, with operations at three coal production sections expected to start this month through the new incline conveyor. The mine, which is set to replace the ageing Middelbult mine, has the capacity to add 9.2-million tons a year to baseline feed stock for Sasol Synfuels’ coal-to-liquids operations.
