SABMiller will invest R61-million in a new brewery at its Ugandan subsidiary, Nile Breweries, doubling the company's design capacity to 3,6m hectolitres by 2013.

The company said yesterday the new brewery would be constructed in Mbarara in western Uganda, the fastest-growing regional beer market in the country.

The Mbarara site would employ around 140 people directly.
