SAB World of Beer - Visit the South African Breweries in Johanneburg
SAB World of Beer - In 1995 the SAB World of Beer was built to commemorate SA Breweries centenary. Situated in downtown Johannesburg, in the bustling precinct of Newtown, this top tourist attraction draws nearly 50 000 visitors a year and was the Winner in the Welcome Awards by SA Tourism and its partners in 2010. This venue also offers 5 star conference facilities as officially ranked by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa. A visit to the SAB World of Beer is an experience with a difference. An introduction to the founder of this brewery of note is first on the agenda. Ukhamba relives the story of African beer with a sip of sorghum to satisfy the taste buds. From Africa to Europe, to look in on the father of European brewing, Josef Groll and the diligent monks who, believe it or not, took on the noble role of brewing beer. And where does beer making begin? The Greenhouse offers a glimpse of barley and hops growing. As beer is part of the heritage of most countries, it is fitting to illustrate its early role in the mining hub of South Africa, in a Heritage Hall. Experience the unique vibe of a traditional shebeen where the love of beer defied the laws of prohibition. In the Brands Hall a 180 degree screen allows you to hone in on the wonders of each brand as enjoyed by beer drinking South Africans. And for the cherry on the cake, or should that be the head on the beer, the grand finale of the tour two complimentary ice-cold beers in the Tap Room. Tours are run from Tuesdays to Saturdays at R25 per person with delicious pub lunches served between 11 and 4 pm.

Script:
South Africa... A land of opportunity, a country rich in its diversity, proud of its people, proud of its achievements in the face of history. Since the country's first democratic elections in 1994 and the birth of the new South Africa, South African Breweries has been at the heart of the country's fight for reconciliation and the unification of all its people. The company's ambitions after decades of isolation due to international sanctions were evident in the 90's through SA Brewery's multiple acquisitions of both local and international breweries. Its expansion policy and quest for economies of scale led the company to invest heavily in its infrastructure and operational processes. With the fall of the Apartheid regime and the subsequent access to new markets, SA Breweries' expansion was necessary to meet the rising demand. Locally, demand also increased as a result of the end of oppression. The company had previously been perceived as a white corporation exploiting the black majority of South Africa. In the new South Africa, it was vital for SA Breweries to change its image and become a proud symbol of South Africa's people, one that all South Africans could identify themselves with.
In order to meet the demand of new consumers as well as re-brand the company's image, changes in industrial processes were necessary. In today's technological era, expanding a firm's production often means turning to more capital intensive processes. The shift from labour to capital intensive often means laying off workers. In the case of SA Breweries, the change meant the company needed to attract more skilled workers and lay off unskilled labourers. It wished to improve its processes in three key functions: process control, process performance management, and plant availability. These improvements required the hiring of specialists. For decades, the Bantu education system set up by the Apartheid regime in South Africa had restricted the majority of black South Africans to an education based on learning the very basic skills required to serve the white majority. Laying off workers was therefore a very detrimental social issue that could greatly damage the reputation of SA Breweries if the company did not provide these workers with a social program enabling some form of professional reconversion. This program came in the shape of Project Noah, designed in collaboration with the International Labour Organization.
Companies in developing countries often face similar issues when attempting to implement improvement programs. Social, political and economic factors in developing countries evolve rapidly and often create unstable environments for businesses to evolve.
The lack of infrastructure evident in many developing countries makes it very difficult for companies to expand their activities and processes. The access to materials is often restricted due to the poor quality of transportation infrastructure. The lack of access to education, such as it was in South Africa, makes it very difficult for companies to have a qualified workforce and forces them to invest heavily in training programs as well as hiring foreigners.
Health issues are also challenges that companies face when implementing improvement programs. South Africa is the country hardest hit by HIV and AIDS with over 10% of the population infected with HIV. SA Breweries therefore has to face the fact that many of its employees are directly or indirectly affected by the disease and might therefore have an impact on their work at the company.
Poverty is another major factor prevalent in many developing countries and directly impacting companies such as South African Breweries. With the second worst gini coefficient in the world, South Africa faces a huge problem of income disparity. In a country with in-existent minimum wages, companies are faced with the dilemma of either applying socially-responsible remuneration policies or decreasing their costs by providing very low wages to their workers. Political pressures often arise as a result of this, and companies in developing countries sometimes turn to corruptive practices to gain political support, which in turn can be a challenge to the implementation of improvement programs.
All these factors provide companies with challenging issues that need to be addressed when attempting to implement improvement programs in developing countries. Through its socially-responsible practices, the re-branding and revaluation of its image and the Noah Project, South African Breweries was able to not only expand its activities and become the world's third largest brewer, but also become one of the flagships of South African industry.
