Crude oil refinery under new management
Bester takes over from Ton Wielers, whose assignment has come to an end after almost six years at the refinery.
LEADERSHIP of one of the largest crude oil refinery in South Africa, Sapref recently changed hands with the appointment of Victor Bester as managing director.
Bester takes over from Ton Wielers, whose assignment has come to an end after almost six years at the refinery. Bester is no stranger to the South African oil refining industry as he headed up the Chevron Refinery in Cape Town after spending 17 years at Sasol and three years at the Nuclear Energy Corporation. He is a chemical engineer who grew up and studied in Cape Town. He joined Shell, one of Sapref’s shareholders, earlier this year.
Bester said he looks forward to leading Sapref, and to working in Durban. “I am excited to be joining Sapref. With the support of our staff and our shareholders we can make the company a safe, world class refining facility,” he said.
