The world’s largest soft-drink maker, Coca-Cola, is to buy multinational beverage and brewing
giant Anheuser-Busch InBev’s 54.5% stake in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA), including the South African operation, for $3.15bn, AB InBev announced on Wednesday.
The deal includes CCBA’s operations in Namibia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Ghana, Mayotte and Comoros.

Coca-Cola planned to hold all the territories temporarily until they could be refranchised to other partners, the company said.
It said the transactions were subject to the relevant regulatory and minority approvals and were expected to close by the end of 2017.
