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!
Happy Steeming!
WOW! Who would have thought that SASOL could be so beautiful!

I understand that Sasol was built from German technology which the Germans could not make work. It was quite an achievement for a country like South Africa. Now we have sold it.....

Nah man the photo's not that bad, you can still see how great the view is. I have only been to Secunda when I was much younger so don't remember too much. I have been to Sasolburg plenty times those Sasol Plants makes for a great view from far, but damn the smell I don't miss that at all. : )

That's the smoke of energy (commodity) being delivered to thousands of households and businesses.
Hi to Elvis from Graceland!

Yeah the place is amazing, if you really think about it, I think SASOL does it's fair part of pollution, but is still a tremendous feat what the engineers are doing there. Will say hi to Elvis when I am up there again :)

I agree, friend. Just how amazing similar minds are when led well - capable of making a magnificent piece of engineering. I'm amazed too.
Thanks! Us, your steemit community would like to say hi to Elvis. :)
