In Zambia lager volume growth for <strong>the</strong> year was 28% driven by<br />

more effective distribution, better availability of product following <strong>the</strong><br />

brewery upgrade at Ndola and <strong>the</strong> continued consumer price benefit<br />

of <strong>the</strong> excise reduction in March 2010. Castle Lager and Mosi have<br />

both shown strong growth in <strong>the</strong> year. Traditional beer grew by 11%<br />

as a result of improved distribution channels and availability.<br />

In Angola soft drinks ended <strong>the</strong> year in line with <strong>the</strong> prior year despite<br />

a slowdown in <strong>the</strong> economy which resulted in lower disposable<br />

income and consumer demand. Lager volumes grew 26% following<br />

<strong>the</strong> successful commissioning of <strong>the</strong> new brewery in Luanda.<br />

Delta Corporation, our associate in Zimbabwe 1 , is slowly returning to<br />

normality with lager volumes approaching <strong>the</strong>ir previous highs. During<br />

<strong>the</strong> year capital investments to improve <strong>the</strong> standard of <strong>the</strong> breweries<br />

in Zimbabwe were undertaken, including a new lager packaging line<br />

in Bulawayo which was commissioned in <strong>the</strong> latter part of <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

Castel delivered lager volume growth of 4% with good growth in<br />

Nigeria, <strong>the</strong> Democratic Republic of <strong>the</strong> Congo, Benin and Chad.<br />

Soft drinks volumes grew by 8% year on year.<br />

1 We have included our share of Delta, our associate in Zimbabwe, within<br />

our results effective 1 April 2010 following <strong>the</strong> effective ‘dollarisation’ of<br />

<strong>the</strong> economy in 2009, <strong>the</strong> end of hyperinflation and <strong>the</strong> stabilisation of<br />

<strong>the</strong> local economy.<br />
