Sasol Mining produces about 40 million tons (Mt) of coal a year, mostly for gasifi cation feedstock and utilities coal for our complexes at Secunda and Sasolburg. Its main operations comprise the Sigma: Mooikraal operation near Sasolburg and the Bosjesspruit, Brandspruit, Middelbult, Syferfontein and Twistdraai export operations at Secunda. 

## Sustaining our transformation 

The death of three people in the service of Sasol Mining in 2010 overshadowed what was an otherwise excellent year for the business. 

Thulani Msibi was fatally injured in October while busy with maintenance work involving a conveyor drive at the Syferfontein Colliery. In January, Hlabathe Hanyane, a shuttle car operator at the Twistdraai Colliery, died in a machine- related incident when he was struck by 

the bucket of a load haul dumper. In June, Joseph Selwane, a shuttle car operator at the Middelbult Colliery, died in a roof fall at the iThemba Lethu shaft. We convey our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of these three men. 

Sasol Mining’s RCR rose to 1,19 in 2010 from 1,03 the previous year. This is not acceptable. Although our total injury rate compares very well with the local coal mining industry and is declining, our safety record simply must improve.
