South Africa: South African Breweries to create as many as 10 thousand jobs through various programs

South African Breweries Ltd. on September 4 unveiled plans to create as many as 10,000 jobs in the country through various programs it offers.

The new jobs are in addition to the commitments agreed with the government last year following the merger between AB InBev and SABMiller, SAB said in an emailed statement.

SAB offers two so-called kickstart programs focusing on youth-owned businesses; the SAB Foundation; an enterprise and supplier development fund, and agriculture initiatives to establish barley, hops, corn and malt industries, with a view to enabling the country to become a net exporter of hops and malt by 2021.
