Next time you are booking a room to chill at Protea Hotels or any of its franchise outlets scattered all over Nigeria, then have it in mind that you are patronizing a South African business.
7.) Panarottis Pizza
This is another popular pizza brand in Nigeria and its owned by another South African company known as Spur Corporations, I got to know about their ownership through a South African during my first and last ever visit to South Africa some time ago when we were talking about SA businesses in Nigeria, I jokingly told him that why his people act funny towards Nigerians was because South Africans dont go to Nigeria to live permanently or invest big except MTN, DsTV and Stanbic Bank, he laughed and said I am speaking out of limited information, and that was when he told me about some of businesses in Nigeria owned by South Africans and I was shocked to hear about them. Anyway, lets move on guys.
8.) International Breweries Plc also known as SABMiller / AB InBev aka Peter Obi Alcohol Brewery cheesy
This great and wonderful globally renowned brewery which Peter Obi brought to Anambra Nigeria is owned by South Africans, Obi only invested his own money and Anambra money into it as a way of attracting and encouraging them to come to Anambra to invest with security and assurance, today they are employing thousands of Nigerians and their permanent staffs are one of the biggest earners in Nigeria when it comes to FCMGs in Nigeria, I stand to be corrected anyway lol
