Petrochemical company Sasol on Friday said Simon Baloyi will take on the role of president and CEO from April 1 2024.

Baloyi succeeds Fleetwood Grobler, who will continue with the company as an executive adviser until December 31 2024 to ensure a seamless handover.

Baloyi, currently executive vice-president of energy operations and technology, was selected from internal and external candidates and has served in management positions since joining the company in 2002.

Sasol said: “We believe his strategic outlook, excellent leadership skills, technical and business acumen and deep experience of our operations will stand him in excellent stead to take over the helm.”
