# A new report on South Africa’s just energy transition warns that thousands of jobs linked to Sasol could be at risk without urgent planning. Chemical engineer Bruce Young says about 27-thousand direct and 425-thousand indirect jobs depend on Sasol’s operations. Ageing infrastructure, declining coal quality, gas shortages and global pressure to cut emissions are placing the company under strain, with major restructuring likely in Secunda, Mpumalanga and Sasolburg, Free State. He urges government, labour and business to coordinate retraining and economic support plans.
