Heritage With a Touch of Pink: Tolokazi to Unveil Newly Formulated Rooibos Berry Cider in Johannesburg
This Heritage Month, Tolokazi Beer (Pty) Ltd, a proudly South African craft beverage brand, will host an exclusive product launch and reveal on Sunday, 20 September 2026, at The Fort on Corlett in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg.
The exclusive gathering of 150 select guests will bring together media representatives, brand partners, loyal supporters, and influential content creators for the official unveiling of the newly formulated Tolokazi Rooibos and Berry Cider in its striking new packaging.
Attendees will enjoy an immersive celebration of African heritage with a touch of pink, the colours of the Rooibos and Berry Cider, featuring an intimate first look and taste of the refined recipe.
Fermented with South Africa’s finest apples, the premium cider is back-sweetened with native rooibos extract and rich berry juice, delivering unparalleled crispness at 5.5% ABV.
By blending the natural, earthy warmth of indigenous rooibos with a vibrant burst of local berries, Tolokazi™ continues to redefine modern craft beverages while honouring local roots.
Tolokazi™ is a multiple award-winning, proudly South African brand founded by Master Brewer Apiwe Nxusani-Mawela.
Inspired by the rich history of the female brewers of the Tolokazi clan, the brand pays homage to African heritage through globally competitive, high-quality beers and ciders crafted with locally sourced indigenous ingredients.
“Our Rooibos Berry Cider represents a true celebration of heritage with a tinge of pink—combining traditional, locally sourced ingredients into a crisp, elevated craft drink,” says founder and Master Brewer Apiwe Nxusani-Mawela.
“We are thrilled to bring this newly formulated flavour profile and fresh packaging design to Johannesburg in such an intimate setting.”
