	South African Breweries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		South African Breweries was founded in 1895 by Jacob Letterstedt specifically to serve a new market of miners and prospectors in and around Johannesburg.
		Breweries were no exception, and seeing an opportunity, SAB began to invest heavily in breweries in Hungary (1993), Romania, Poland (1996), Slovakia (1997), and Russia (1998).
		SAB’s international strategy was to focus on well-established brands in underdeveloped countries, and to concentrate on “cheaper brews in an effort to woo mass market drinkers.” These were also markets where state intervention in the private sector had been significant, and often local governments continued as major shareholders.
