Notes

Multiple recent news articles (Feb 2026, Dec 2025, Mar 2025) indicate PetroSA faces severe financial distress with a R4.5 billion SARS tax debt that 'threatens' the Mossel Bay GTL refinery operations. The facility's operational viability is now uncertain due to this financial crisis, warranting a status change from 'operational' to 'unknown' pending resolution of the tax dispute.
