Where do one find chlor alkali in south Africa?

Chloralkali is an industry, not something to be found in nature as the question seems to suggest, because the raw material is NaCl or table salt found in natural salt deposits and therefore in abundance in the sea, of course. Basically it means that electric currents are passed through salt dissolved in water (brine), which is then broken up into the gas chlorine as well as sodium hydroxide, also called caustic soda. These are valuable chemicals used in the manufacturing of many every-day items (plastics, soaps, antiseptics, paints, to name but a few). Walvisbay in Namibia is the main supplier of salt to the chloralkali industry based at Chloorkop in South Africa. Chloorkop is in the Gauteng province.
