Energy and chemicals group Sasol confirmed on Friday that it had entered into a R5-billion agreement with a Reatile-led consortium for the sale of a 30% stake in the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Company (Rompco), the joint venture that owns the 865-km gas transmission pipeline from southern Mozambique to South Africa. The sale and purchase agreement, which remains subject to several conditions, has been finalised by Sasol South Africa (SSA), which intends retaining a 20% shareholding in Rompco and which will continue to operate and maintain the pipeline in line with a separate commercial agreement.
