“Wal-Mart paid $2.4 billion for Massmart, a major retailer in South Africa, in 2011. This year, Coke is launching solar-powered kiosks to reach some of the remotest parts of sub-Saharan Africa – parts that lack electricity – with ice-cold soda. Pepsi announced a $30 million manufacturing plant in Kenya to compete against Coke for market share of the continent. And Yum! Brands is expanding quickly, adding another 50 stores in Africa this year alone. Google is also investing in a solar plant in South Africa and developing high-speed internet access across the continent.”
