The world’s leading international premium beer, Heineken®, is teaming up with Mak1One and ThingKing in Cape Town to create the experience of a lifetime – but it is your vote in the #SHAPEYOURCITY competition that will secure this memorable city shaping event for the Mother City.

Heineken®’s global campaign to transform the cities of the world sees three of South Africa’s biggest metropolises Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban competing to win an amazing experience. Heineken® has teamed up with ‘City Shaper’ teams in each city to bring this vision to life.

Heineken® selected a graffiti artist and top design team, handpicked for their cool creative credentials, as Cape Town’s ‘City Shapers’

Woodstock based creative design agency ThingKing, can best be described as a wacky designer-maker consultancy, led by Lyall Sprong and Marc Nicolson, who excel at creating ‘cool stuff’. Through the medium of design, the agency has won numerous awards and achieved success in creating quirky experiences for consumers and building unique installations for top South African brands.

Adding his stamp to Team Cape Town is Mak1One, who was born and raised in the Mother City. Not only is he a self-taught graffiti artist with twenty years’ experience, Mak1One also has the ability to bring his freehand images to life with just a wall and paint; he is also a master at painting with light, 3D chalking and 3D wall installations. The graffiti guru has received recognition for his work on an extensive range of projects throughout South Africa and abroad.

“We cannot think of a better ‘City Shaping’ team for Cape Town. Both Mak1One and ThingKing speak the universal language of art and design. They have their fingers firmly on the pulse of the community and know how to inspire them. Get voting for Team Cape Town – they are ready to shape your city!” says Themba Ratsibe, Marketing Manager, Heineken® South Africa.

The free-spirited, authentic Mexican beer is here! Sol, the truly independent and adventurous global beer has hit our shores, just in time for summer. Inspired by the rising sun and the celebration of “Espiritu Libre” – the spirit of freedom – this refreshing beer is sure to make its mark in South Africa.

“South African consumers are seeking adventure and are looking for a beer that allows them to explore new tastes and support their thirst for self-expression and individualism. Enter Sol. Free-spirited and adventurous, Sol is sure to make an impression with those looking for a little bit more,” says Marcel Swain, Marketing Manager for New Brands at Heineken® South Africa. “We are thrilled to bring Sol to South African beer fans!”

This gift from the heart of Mexico brings with it generations’ worth of knowledge and expertise in beer brewing. Sol’s journey started in a brewery near Mexico City in 1899. Named in honour of a beam of light shining through the roof - Sol, the Spanish word for “sun” – Sol is brewed with the supervision of Cerveceria Cuautemoc Moctezuma with passion and soul for a refreshing taste and bright colour.

It may be a newcomer in South Africa, but with its no nonsense boldness, Sol is ready to make new fans from local beer enthusiasts.

“Sol is a great companion for the summer months. Whether you’re out looking for adventure or simply lazing by the pool, it promises the perfect balance of refreshment and inspiration. Energised by the sun, the iconic, transparent bottle is filled with the charm of Latin imperfection with the Sol stamp glowing confidently at its heart, captured inside and outside the bottle. Kick-back, taste and savour ‘Espiritu Libre’,” concludes Swain.

Sol is available at leading retailers nationwide. Recommended Retail Prices: R79,95 for a 6 pack and R289,95 for a 24-bottle case.
