According to a report on the website of South Africa's "Daily Business" on July 18, Nestlé has invested 79million ZAR to build a factory in Tshwane to produce its series of coffee mixers and serve as a platform for exports to the region. Nestlé stated that although the cost of operating business in South Africa has increased due to structural problems such as unstable power and water supply, South Africa is still a gateway for trade with other African countries. The factory will make product production more suitable for South African and African market needs .
