Maurice Radebe, Executive Vice-President of Energy Business at Sasol and Executive in Residence at Wits Business School, will host this seminar.

The nature and structure of the liquid fuels industry presents substantial challenges and opportunities to new entrants. It is a high-volume, low-margin industry with a highly inter-dependent logistics infrastructure.

Despite these challenges, numerous opportunities exist for smaller players. Non-refining wholesaling is one such opportunity.

Maurice Radebe, Executive Vice-President of Energy Business at Sasol and Executive in Residence at Wits Business School, will host this seminar that will explore possible solutions to these challenges by addressing the following questions:

  • How should the liquid fuels industry address the supply constraints in the country?
  • How should the industry address the logistics constraints in the liquid fuels value chain?; and
  • Is it possible to manage a successful operation in a high-volume, low-margin environment?

Speakers include: Nothembo Mlonzi, MD: Econ Oil; Nona Chili, CEO: Makwande Petroleum; Tseke Nkadimeng, CEO: AfricOil and Stephen Nothnagel, CEO: Royale Energy.
