 | | South African Breweries was founded in 1895 by Jacob Letterstedt specifically to serve a new market of miners and prospectors in and around Johannesburg. |  | | By 1998, SAB commanded a 98 per cent share of the South African beer market and was considered one of the lowest cost producers of beer in the world. |  | | 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). |
