A Kenyan micro brewer plans to spread its reach to Botswana, initially establishing a distribution line to the country and then setting up a plant for its wine brand and a gin product that has origins similar to traditional brews such as khadi, BusinessWeek has learnt.

Ramogapi & Co should clear the Bonno confusion

According to a report elsewhere in this publication, various district councils announced that a one-bedroom home now costs over P130,000 more, a near-unthinkable 32% increase.
