It was truly uplifting to be back in South Africa, surrounded by the positive energy of the HEINEKEN Beverages team. ? During our visit to Tembisa, just outside Johannesburg, we connected with both on-trade and off-trade customers, including mom-and-pop stores, ultra-stores, and some very welcoming taverns. ? Being in the market, you can truly feel the strength of our multicategory portfolio which includes power brands like Savanna, Bernini, Heineken, Windhoek and Amstel alongside wines and spirits. ? It's inspiring to see our relationships with customers evolving into true partnerships. ? We also shared the vibrant South African spirit with all our colleagues during the Global Town Hall.
