The Industrial Gas Users Association of Southern Africa (IGUA-SA) warned on Wednesday that South Africa is in the midst of a gas supply crunch, which will worsen dramatically from 2025 onwards in line with depleting production from Sasol’s Pande and Temane gasfields, in southern Mozambique. The association includes large industrial companies that collectively consume 50-million gigajoules of gas yearly, employ 46 000 people and have combined yearly revenues of R150-billion. It is forecasting a yearly shortfall of 98-million gigajoules from 2025 onwards, including Sasol gas demand.
