...that you publish such disparaging rubbish about Sasol. Perry's pernicious tone is an attempt to blacken Sasol's achievements. Sasol technology is being used in several countries around the world because it is the most advanced. Sasol gasoline and diesel has never been produced in sufficient quantity to prop up any government. Contrary to Perry's comments, CTL and GTL fuels are likely to play a major role in the future.

Gorbachev got the prize in 1990, shortly before he was overtaken by events he could not control. In this case, perhaps, the award will be a harbinger and will prop up its recipients and the peace process. Neither man can afford for his counterpart to fail. De Klerk's fragility does not gratify Mandela. The skepticism of Mandela's left wing does not comfort De Klerk. History shows that the weaker the negotiating partners, the weaker the peace negotiated...
