Sasol Watch

On the first of September last year a huge accidental explosion took place at the Sasol petrochemical plant in Secunda, South Africa. The blast ultimately ended up taking the lives of 10 workers. Sasol has grudgingly taken part in a public enquiry into the accident, but every step of the way has provided as little co-operation as they could possibly get away with. For one thing, the petro giant has refused to make their own internal inquiry into the accident public, for another they have paid minimal compensation to the families of those killed or injured. Many of those affected by the incident were contract workers, and because they were not directly employed by Sasol, the corporation was able to avoid paying any compensation other than covering hospital bills and funeral costs.

What makes this even worse, is that Sasol has a hidden history of covered up accidents that take place on a fairly regular basis. In fact, it would not be off the mark to say that Sasol has an appalling safety record. Now, a South African blogger is keeping watch on Sasol, and trying to keep the story in the limelight. I hope you will give Sasol Watch a visit, and support this local effort to hold a large corporation accountable to the people and to the public. Blogging of this nature, has not really taken off in South Africa, but I hope that my regular readers at least, will provide some support to this effort.
