Subject: Vendor Registration Form

Good day.

I hope you find this in order.

Sasol Limited is in the process of developing a procurement supplier database, which will assist with requests for quotations and tenders.

All future quotations will be handled on a rotational basis, which will offer suppliers fair and equal opportunities, hence a non-refundable registration fee of R1, 450 is required ( see 1st page for banking details). This vendor form is only sent to suppliers / service providers that we intend doing business with.

Suppliers who have already completed forms prior 1 January 2007 are hereby informed that you are at present registered on the creditor database, which is a financial database for making payments. It is therefore required of all existing and potential suppliers to register on the procurement supplier database before they can do any business with SASOL.

We at Sasol believe that every supplier / service provider has the right to apply in order to be listed on the Sasol Supplier Base. We also believe in treating suppliers / service providers with respect and dignity, and therefore it is important to have a selection process that enables us to serve our suppliers and internal stakeholders as effectively and efficiently as possible.

We undertake not to approve suppliers / service providers if we don?t intend doing business with them. We also acknowledge the fact that it is practically impossible to do business with all suppliers / service providers that would like to do business with Sasol.

Kindly complete the attached form, scan and email back together with proof of payment.

Kind Regards,

Siyabonga Buthelezi
(Procurement Manager)
