I had the privilege to play golf with a very good friend this weekend and we stayed over in the Graceland Casino and hotel in Secunda, Mpumulanga, South Africa.
I went to school in the area and know SASOL and the company very well, as most people who live in Secunda, are actually employed by SASOL. I haven’t been in Secunda for many years and it was great to see the old place again :)
The most amazing thing was the view from the hotel. On the one side our view was the golf course and on the other side we had SASOL. What an amazing view especially at night. SASOL must be one of the largest operational plants in the world. s
Who and what is SASOL?
Sasol Limited is an integrated energy and chemical company based in Johannesburg, South Africa. The company was formed in 1950 in Sasolburg, South Africa, and is the world's first oil-from-gas company.
Sasol is an international integrated chemicals and energy company that leverages technologies and the expertise of our 30 300 people working in 33 countries. We develop and commercialise technologies, and build and operate world-scale facilities to produce a range of high-value product stream, including liquid fuels, chemicals and low-carbon electricity
But I am not writing this post to teach you about SASOL. I am trying to share the view we had from the hotel room, but pictures does not do the actual view any justice :( The place is the size of a small city …
I unfortunately did not have a decent camera with me, and the light was overwhelming my Iphone camera, but here is the best I could take.
I also tried to find some pics online, which will have a better possibility to share this wonderful view, but again it is not doing it justice.
and to top it all off I found Elvis at Graceland!
