Sechaba says production was affected by water shortages

Water-related woes spilled over into Sechaba Brewery Holdings’ financial year ended March 31, 2016, according to its management. Total sales volumes in Kgalagadi Breweries Limited (KBL), which is the production arm of Sechaba, declined by -0.2% from prior year.

Group managing director, Johan De Kok said this was mainly due to the negative growth of the traditional beer and non-alcoholic beverages categories, at -6.5% and -16.0%, respectively.

However, the alcoholic fruit beverage category recorded an impressive 95.6% growth in volumes on the back of the successes of Redds Vodka Lemon and Core Original.
