Secunda, Industrial town in Mpumalanga, South Africa
The town contains the world's largest coal liquefaction facility, with two major Sasol plants converting coal into synthetic fuels and petrochemicals.
Secunda emerged in 1974 when Sasol Townships Limited selected the location for constructing the second coal-to-oil refinery in South Africa.
The Johannes Stegmann Theatre and Jan Coertzen Public Library serve as central gathering spaces for performing arts and literature since 1986.
The town features three high schools, five primary schools, and multiple shopping centers including Secunda Mall with national retail chains.
A 301-meter-high chimney at the Sasol Three plant stands as one of the tallest free-standing structures in the Southern Hemisphere.
