The Portfolio Committee was shown safety video, outlining safety emergency procedures at Sasol's Secunda Plant, which produces concentrated gas chemicals, and is a National Key Point. This was followed by a presentation dealing with health, safety and environmental management. Thereafter, the members of the Committee boarded a bus with officials from Sasol and went on the tour of the Plant. Members of the Committee and Sasol hosts disembarked at a compost-making site where the conversion of industrial waste to a useful resource takes place. The 248 Portfolio Committee learnt that composite-making had been taking place at the Secunda Plant in the past two to three years, and showed innovation and beneficiation. It was stated that women and youth were wellrepresented at the Secunda Plant and that 70 per cent of procurement at the Plant is per the prescripts of BEE. The group boarded the bus again and drove through the plant, stopping at the boiler plants (17 of them in total) and two gas turbines, which produce a significant part of the Plants energy. This ended the tour of the Secunda Plant and the group was taken to visit Sasol's Air Quality Monitoring Station.
