"The review is not a reflection on the contribution made by the agency over the last four years. TBWA\Hunt\ Lascaris is one of South Africa's leading advertising practitioners with an international reputation for highly creative and effective advertising. We have been satisfied with TBWA's contribution and are delighted to see them engaging in the tender process," says Sasol Group Corporate Affairs manager Andre Botha.

"We salute our client's commitment to best practice in everything it does. The review was expected and we are looking forward to engaging in the process," says Wingfield.
"We have produced some excellent work for Sasol. This is thanks to a strong working relationship and quality input from our client," he adds. The work including the Joe Olympics campaign and catchy advertising celebrating the company's support for rugby and soccer.
