Shareholder discontent rocks Sasol

Sasol shareholders challenged the company’s board at its annual general meeting over the continued suspension of dividends, last paid in 2024. They argued that improved earnings and higher executive pay made a shareholder return overdue. Board chair Muriel Dube said Sasol remained committed to its dividend policy and would resume payments only after reducing debt below its $3 billion threshold; debt stood at $3.3 billion at the end of June 2026.
