Sasol Polymer Unit Blast: Employees Charged Instead of Sasol

Sasol Chemicals, a South African Chemical Company has been discharge from any allegation towards the 2004 blast that killed several people at a plant in Secunda near Johannesburg. The South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) instead has made a decision to charge two Sasol employees for the deadly blast at Sasol polymers unit.

NPA has claimed that there is no evidence showing that Sasol to be responsible for any negligence regarding the blast.

The unlucky two Sasol employees would be charged with culpable homicide, which killed 10 people and injured scores of others. South African trade union Solidarity had demanded that South Africa’s Labour Department publish the report on the explosion for the public, but has been denied.
