History edit
On 15 November 2021, Heineken announced a plan to acquire part of Distell Group business, in order to become the market-leading alcoholic beverage supplier in South Africa.[2] Through the deal, Heineken and Remgro aimed to spin-off a bulk of Distell's business to Sunside Acquisitions Ltd.[3] As part of the transaction, Heineken agreed to merge its investments in Heineken South Africa, Namibia Breweries and operations in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Sudan into the new entity.[4]
