Homogeneity means "sameness". In the investment world it refers to the fact that every ordinary share of Sasol or any listed company is exactly the same as every other ordinary share - which makes it possible to draw a chart of that share's daily closing prices from the JSE. Not all assets are homogenous. For example, no two properties are identical, even if they are situated right next door to each other. This means that while it may give an indication of a property's value to look at the prices for which similar properties are selling in the same area it is only that - an indication. But if Sasol's shares closed yesterday at R450 per share on the JSE, then it is highly likely that your Sasol shares are worth very close to that price.
