SABMiller Expands Distribution of Chibuku Beer in Africa

-The expansion of the brand more than doubles the number of Chibuku markets from four (Botswana, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe) at the start of 2011.

-Following successful pilot schemes in Ghana, Mozambique, Swaziland and Tanzania, full-scale Chibuku production has now been launched in each of these countries.

-A Lesotho pilot has been launched with commercial sales expected in the next few months and in Uganda a brand new plant is being planned as part of the new brewery under construction in Mbarara.

-Following an investment of $16 million over the last 18 months, it is expected that by the end of this financial year Chibuku volumes across new markets in Africa will total well over half a million hectoliters.
