Coca-Cola SA steps in to help KZN small businesses after floods

--:--
Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa has provided support totaling almost R700,000 to assist five small business owners to help them get back on their feet following the impact of the 2021 civil unrest and the floods which devastated KwaZulu-Natal earlier this year.

Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) is a proudly South African company that began operating as a legal entity in July 2016, after the merger of six non-alcoholic ready-to-drink bottling operations.
CCBSA also ran a competition in KZN recently in conjunction with Inanda FM and two young entrepreneurs each won a Bizniz-in-a-Box container valued at over R80,000 each. Siyabonga Zulu and Wandile Makhanya also received their new businesses on 29 July.

eThekwini Municipality Councillor Muzikayise Thusi said: “The support of the small business sector is key to stimulating economic growth and helping people back onto their feet.
