Fashioning Modern Africanism

The Festive summer is upon us, and with the The ong hot days, and busy social schedules, there is a need for us to get out the trusty, old cooler box. Or do we? Introducing the limited-edition Savanna Summer Chill Pack. You get twelve 500ml Savanna Dry in a waterproof box, that just needs ice, turning your newly acquired yellow box of crisp and dry beverages into a cooler box filled with ice-cold, deliciousness.  Simply open the handy pre-perforated opening on the top of the box, add in some ice, and relax while science gets your Savanna’s nice and ice-cold. To introduce the pack to South Ahh, meet the ‘Ice Boys’ South African comedians, Ebenezer and Mo, here to ensure this summer isn’t ruined with warm Savivi’s. This new innovation showcases how Savanna understands South Ahh with a simple ice pack that ensures everyone’s favourite cider remains crisp and dry this Summer.   "When we say Siyavanna South Ahh, we always seek to add value. With the new Savanna Chill Pack, we introduce

In March this year, Savanna Premium Cider partnered with local fashion superstar Wanda Lephoto to introduce some dryness to an ever-wetter world, a limited-edition fashion collection of Savanna 'Dry Goods,' waterproof apparel for a world underwater, available for sale to persons over the age of 18.   This premium, sustainably produced range went beyond the aesthetics of ‘cool’ and made a meaningful statement about sustainability by creating awareness on the inevitability of climate change. As the ultimate dry brand, it only makes sense that Savanna would bring you a clothing range that would allow you to stay dripping and dry in a world of rising sea levels, melting icebergs, and unpredictable weather. All the profits from the 'Dry Goods' premium waterproof apparel range collaboration between Savanna and Wanda Lephoto were donated to GreenUp, a leading organisation focused on circular economy, environmental education, and community resilience. The donation handover occu

South Ahh, do you remember the Savanna 330ml 12 Pack? The people spoke, and, again, Savanna listened in true Siyavanna fashion. Your favourite value pack is officially back on shelves. We know some days are best spent outside, but on other days, the perfect setting is in the comfort of home with your people. And it’s for those days that 12 crisp, dry Savanna Premium Ciders are best suited to qualify you as the host with the most when the squad links up at the home base.  Think braais, house parties, pizza nights, boys’ nights, girls’ nights, and those movies and series marathons – you set the occasion with a dozen reasons to love Savivi. “We know there are countless reasons to love Savanna, but we’ve highlighted 12, packaged in value for Savanna’s loyal fans and the social settings we enjoy. We’re excited to bring back the Savanna Dry 330ml 12 pack, and of course, with the same crisp and dry taste of the Savanna Dry we know and love.” says Kayla Hendricks, Brand Manager of Savanna Cide

From the Mzansiverse to the world! In true South Ahh fashion, Dillan Olliphant and Savanna Premium Cider have a favour to ask of Trevor Noah when he stops over at home for his Comedy Tour between the 30 th of August and the 16 th of September 2023. The Skhaftin Courier Service, powered by Trevor's jet (fingers crossed), aims to deliver some of our special items from home to some of Trevor’s famous friends?! Why Trevor’s jet? Because he’s one of us, and we really, really think that he will be totally cool with it!   What’s a Skhaftin? You may know it as a ‘tupperbakkie,’ an ice cream tub with anything but ice cream, or sometimes just something special transported by someone for someone else. And because Savivi does the last number things with last number people like M’Trevovo, The Skhaftin Courier Service wants to bring the best of South Ahh to the best of the States . Think a goat for the G.O.A.T.? Like Yonce and Jay, or a personalised Rasta painting for the Met, or your

We are counting down the days until Trevor arrive for the “Trevor Noah Live in South Africa” tour from 31 August to 15 September 2023, presented by Savanna Premium Cider. We hope you are too. You will be pleased to hear that almost every show is sold out. Yes, you are reading correctly; almost every show in South Ahhh is sold out! And, as you know Trevor, just like a crisp and dry Savanna, the tickets are only for people 18 years and older. Since Trevor left Mzansi, we know he have had too many highlights to count, including hosting awards and even won iconic global award! In the ‘darkness’ of all things we have been going through, Trevor's pending arrival is the light at the end of the tunnel. You know t he people of Mzansi cannot wait to hear his opinions and stories, and they are excited for that lekker sense of humour he will be bringing with all the way from NYC. But we can’t lie, Trevor know the saying: The more things change, the more they stay the same? …Well, not in Sout

Yes South Ahh, we can herd together again at our favourite watering holes while enjoying our favourite crisp and dry cider, because, after all, #SiyavannaSA. Savanna Premium Cider continues to give us a unique, crisp and witty perspective on daily life in South Ahh, and highlights that when we socialise, most of us identify as part of our herd or a tribe. The popular cider brand’s latest TVC, Herds, paints a picture of some of the different group identities we experience in South Ahh. There’s the Skhotanes (a group of cool guys in flashy outfits with captivating dance moves) the Moghels, (also known as the ‘IT’ Girls), the Boets (usually quite big in build, users of terms like “yarra boets”, “my brutha” and of course “my Bru”), and the Content-Creating Influencers. The new campaign celebrates these groups with a National Geographic-type narration that colourf
