Our brothers and sisters from Zimbabwe... Much love from Zambia... Thank you for Mazoe as it gives us a shared experience as though we grew up as neighbors. 🔥 The orange flavor now has an aftertaste and causes throat irritation but I currently enjoy the cream soda flavor 🔥

Mazoe is a cherished drink that brings back fond childhood memories. Zimbabwe will never fall. Watching from Lusaka Zambia

Quite nice seeing a good production quality on our local stories, the only disappointing thing is you did not give the manufacturers a chance to respond. We also need to hear their side of the story.

Mazoe is R50 in Namibia. It's found in all shops Pick n Pay, ShopRite, OK, Woermanbrock. I have tasted all diluted drinks and nothing comes close to Mazoe. It's the best. My favourite are Orange Crush, Pineapple, Cream Soda and Black Current. They are all good including Raspberry.

As a Zambian, particularly one that grew up in Livingstone, Mazoe holds dear memories for me. We crossed over to Vic Falls town in Zimbabwe countless times and Mazoe was always an item purchased. That and margarine will always remind me of Zimbabwe. Much love my brothers.

@@Enielm so how do explain the differences in prices by 100% between Zambia and Zimbabwe. According to your documentary the product sold in Zambia is labelled made in Zimbabwe and not made in Zambia meaning its exported to Zambia. So why does it cost less there. Could nt have been better to travel to Zambia to ask the same questions and also talk to Mazoe management and not field pickers. The economist wanted to talk about legislation but was cut off why

What I don’t understand with Schweppes it doesn’t even pay their workers well.Their workers are the most underpaid in the market not even a single benefit.They work on zero contract hours whilst the management are dripping in gold. What a shame hey for such a big and long standing company.Not sure if it is still Schweppes international or what. Lest not forget the receipe changed from the Mazoe we used to take to boarding school back in the 1980’s

Mazoe is N$39 this side, but we stopped buying them, they now taste the same with Oros. Leaves a bitter and after taste in your mouth and irritation on your throat. Heard pane eku Zambia. We just had to part ways and accept kuti its no longer the same.

You're drinking what's called Mazoe Orange Squash, check your bottle, it' not the original, Zimbabwean orange crush, I bought it in South Africa (the squash) at one time, very excited to find Mazoe in SA (around 2014-16) but soon to discover the difference. Our Mazoe orange crush may be more expensive than most people can afford, but I guarantee you the taste is the same as I grew up knowing.

In Zambia in the 90s one would import Mazoe from Zimbabwe which we thought tasted better, now our neighbors are buying from us. At least it is still better than SA Oros which is the 2nd best.

this is some good work.. keep it up

In Zambia Mazoe is one of the more expensive brands of juice, we still love it. However, the average buyer will simply get one of the many cheaper local brands from Trade Kings, Big Tree Beverages or Californian Beverages.

In botswana its less than 3 US Dollars. And I love it more than oros. By the way one of the berry brands are the ones which are expensive here.

How can I you have a documentary without even a single spokes person from Mazoe (ç)

As Zimbabweans we need to understand our situation. 1 We need our own currency which would be used to the exclusion of all other currencies for local transactions. As long as we insist on using foreign currencies, we will remain subject to the cost of foreign currencies. The Chinese are at the centre of our problems as they are using Zimbabwe as a source of their own forex. 2 We are not exporting anything, simply because we are too lazy to work hard. too lazy to vote for viable governments and too lazy to take steps to outlaw corruption. 3 We have had finance ministers who are lawyers instead of economists. 4 All the 75-90 million USD per month sent by our diasporans and coming into our pockets is not invested in any way. We just buy day to day supplies and live hand to mouth. 5 We are not fighting crime which is rampant throughout the nation, with police being the biggest criminals. We are contributing to our own hardships.

People who are Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 👇

It would have been good to include a comparative analysis of the products from Zambia and Zimbabwe as well for a deeper insight into the pricing. Is it exactly the same product? Sugar content? Fruit content? Plus inputs from the company to explain the differences. Nicely shot

Mazoe is unmatched

Iam from Zambia, my late dad always bought Mazoe for us when we were younger. It brings back memories for me. I like the raspberry flavour now, very much. Keep pushing Zimbabwe and stay blessed as always.

It's not only about the price though. Even the taste has changed. When that "Original" band was removed something changed.

You should have asked about the decreasing quality of Mazoe yet they are getting expensive.

The documentary was very one sided. It did not include an outline on the production of Mazoe in Zambia or Zimbabwe and how this may affect the price. Additionally there was no official comment from Schweppes Zimbabwe. Lastly the aspect of legislation was not adequately tackled to explain the product price differences between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

We no longer buy Mazoe in Zambia. Maybe that's why it's cheaper when imported from Zambia. It leaves a bitter after taste and irritates the throat. Our popular and affordable Zambian juice is 'JUST' juice.

When I clicked on the video I thought I will hear about the history of the company and its founders and l was also expecting to hear from the company owners

Mazowe in SA is 11% orange juice hence it’s cheaper.The one 1️⃣ in Zim is 50% orange juice

Here in malawi we have sobo squash which has changed over the years from company ownership to ingredients being changed to prices being increased to consumers having health complications by drinking it like we all turned to mazoe at some point when our squash was recalled off the market by our bureau of standards today we still drink the same squash (sobo)that has not been the same one that we used to know coz sobo has been part of the Malawian heritage and lack of competition since other squashes taste terrible and coca cola malawi which now owns sobo(southern bottlers limited)doesn't seem to care what the are putting out for us to buy coz sobo squash nowadays it's known to be gassy and cause Constipation in other people and the taste of just feeling the flavor but not the feel of the fruit like how mazoe tastes

Apart from differing economic policies which inturn impact the cost of production, the Zambian Mazoe is cheaper because it has non-nutritive sweeteners - its not the original Mazoe

Where is this wholesale in Harare?

In botswana there is mazoe 20% it's not that nice though.its better than oros though😮😢.

The taste of mazoe has changed aswell. Ukamavhura you must refrigerate them otherwise anowora.

You need to fully address the issue of the "sugar tax" introduced by the govt, looking at what it means to the health system ultimately. Do also speak to the producer of the product locally, you left them out in this documentary they will have a say and govt as well as to why they introduced the tax and who stands to benefit.

The guy who said we compromise on quality is sharp

Zimbabwe is going back to 2008 hard times of zimbabwe economy

This is why it has always been said that using USD was always harmful to countries. The rising cost of production in Zim is amplified by the fact that it is in USD whereas in Zambia it is in local currency. So their cost of production and exportation is much lower than Zim. There's much more to this but this is one factor to take into consideration.
