As one of the largest private sector operators in Africa, Coca-Cola, is having to step in where the state has failed to provide an adequate water supply…[T]ogether with development partners US Aid, the Global Environment and Technology Fund and a local NGO, Coca-Cola took over and rebuilt the dilapidated water treatment works of a former textile factory in Chimoio [Mozambique]. When this project is completed later this year, it will be the primary source of safe drinking water for the town…Coca-Cola has [also] helped repair or build new water infrastructure in Angola, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Rwanda…Like Coca-Cola, SABMiller has funded two projects in Maputo, both with the Mozambique Foundation for Community Development, designed to provide clean water for more than 13,000 people whose needs the government so far has failed to meet. [also refers to Cervejas de Moçambique (part of SABMIller), Impala Platinum, Lonmin, Frater Asset Management]
