Zimbabweans really deserved a Mazoe Documentary

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.

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 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.

Great production....but for us to get the proper answers we should ask the right people running the company ..assumptions won't solve a problem

never knew i needed a documentary on Mazoe but im glasd i watched it. need a documentary on SOBO next

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.

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

Absolutely love the vision with this production, i am a young visual artist and creative director myself and i wish there was a way i could work with you on a documentary or documentaries!

Wow as a Zambian this has been an interesting and eye opening documentary. I like the transparency, and makes me more cautious of what happens in my own country.

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.

Wow We Zimbabweans are very intelligent.I love the comments from the interviewees….Thank you so much for this documentary.You are doing an awesome job!

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

I'm South African and I love Mazoe. I was telling my colleagues last week about how hard this brand is to find in our stores lately.

Was waiting for someone to the documentary, and you exceeded my expectations. Wow great work people. One sub added and I’ll definitely share

🎉. Great investment. Thank you so much for the information

Well done!! Keep up the good work. Great research, great presentation ❤

Wow. Thank you for the information. Very great production

the presenter is beautiful shesh

this is some good work.. keep it up

This is a beautiful production and presenting. well done guys

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.

Excellent production!

There are only 2 things that every Zimbabwean needs to know , the reason why born in Zimbabwe and reason why Zimbabwe is what it is today .

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

Zimbabwe Mazoe is 50% orange crush. Zambia and uther countrys is 4% orange crush so don't compare Zimbabwe products with those from Zambia.

Loved the details in documentary.

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 would've been great to know how the company is structured today. Knowing if it still has foreign ownership or not. Good video!

Well done documentary. Excellent editing. We did not hear the side of management though(not field workers). Let's have a fully balanced story

Where is this wholesale in Harare?

Thanks for reminding me I hadn't drank Mazowe Orange in months going to shop around for the cheapest mumakona muhudu

Great documentary 😢Cry 🇿🇼 Mnangagwa ukuzviona here zvauri kuita Nyika? Haa Maiporonga Baba.. matirwadziswa ende matibaya moyo

I like how you put this together. Good production guys

Great documentary

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)

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

Good video

It's the Garwe Gvt, they have their fingers in everything, vachingodya mazino😢

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

Mazoe was my daily juice in school from Grade 7 up to Grade 9.

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.

The guys in suits in the offices didn't have anything meaningful to say. The people in the streets, especially the guy in the White T-Shirt, were the ones who said things that had substance. Grt video by the way

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

Mazoe has become scarce in South Africa. Always preferred it from Oros

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 accent is excellent,?,the presenter is beutfull 😊

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

Thanks for Mazoe Zim family form your ZAM SISTER ❤️🙏🏽

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

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

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

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.

would be more powerful to end the video with all the ndange ndichikumbirawo clips played directly after each other, from all the different people

Please make your videos downloadable

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.

Ahyas. Zimbabwe is a pro case of mismanagement in literally every aspect of the country

I didn't know in Zambia we made mazoe i thought it was imported after the plant in ndola was shut down..either way mazoe was a popular drink back then before we had variety from the many companies making similar products

The journalist accent was off putting I didn't enjoy the documentary... And watsup with the action movie score in the background. It's just oros 😂

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.

Zimbabwe is being destroyed by lack of jobs not expensive , because in namibia mazoe cost 42rand which is $2.50USD

Zimbabwe is going back to 2008 hard times of zimbabwe economy

If someone can be employed in same company for 22 years... What about a 22 years old boy or girl when are they going to be given a chance 🤔

The product is on demand both home and away

People who are Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 👇

I see what you did there😊 Mazoe to the people hhhh💪🏾

It's not climate change. Has the production methods improved? From just eye view they haven't put much efficiencies there. Also heavy taxation is too much in Zimbabwe.

Mazooiiii kuita sei futi?

Mwana akanaka hake uyu mmmm❤❤❤

its the corrupt who makes these expensive, levies and taxes are there to fill in their pockets

Thats the money being used to build roads so that SADC think Zimbabwe is being developed and the leaders.in Zim are doing.a good Job

I think the All Blacks have been dominant for the last 20 years. But this is changing. The great history between the two nations has swung left and right in terms of dominance. It has favoured the All Blacks last two decades. Nobody stays on top forever. Anywhere. In any discipline. All Blacks! Start getting used to losing. Not only to the Boks!

The guy who said we compromise on quality is sharp

Nice documentary Are you able to atleast increase the narration parts. Its very difficult to be reading sub titles for 75%of the video for those of us who can't speak Shona.

We also enjoyed mazoe until the price also increased From South Africa

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

Here in Cape Town, we buy Mazoe for around $2,50.

If the bunch of packed oranges is not expensive, what more can be expensive from the orange juice

Zimbabwe really is something else😂😂😂 Crying for a health hazard like Mazoe Juice settles the debate.. Zimbabwe is on another planet

The green one lol ❤

E ma Zimbabweans kwesekwese zwinhu zwadura cost of living is very high every where ku urope warse pakaila kani hama dzangu dozwiripo pamberi nekushiga pamberi nekushanda zwakaoma chikamu ichochi chinophuura don't shake mirai padzwimbo be strong

In Zambia, most of us regarded mazoe as that special drink which found itself as one of the special Christmas drinks, but it disappeared go or some time, when it came back, the taste hasn't been the same

The video is great but the color grades aren't giving 🥶

The stock is widely available from street vendors than in retail shelves

Zambian Mazoe has 20% orange juice and Zimbabwean Mazoe has 50% orange juice in it,, so definitely Zambian Mazoe is going to be cheaper.. but zimbabwe Mazoe is always the best of the 2 ..

Eish pronounce it as it is, “Mazo-way” kuita sei??? its “Mazowe”🤦🏾‍♂️

In 2018 mazoe akatombonetsa kuwana

I stopped buying it when they changed the packaging. I do not like change. 😂😂😂😂

We can’t be blaming climate change. Chinhu chisiri real. We know what the problem is, tisazvinyepere because climate change is just something chinotaurwa nevanotonga kuti vawane something to blame for their incompetence, or for them to tax us even more. Vanhu vanofanha kuchangamuka

a well packaged product

Mazoe is unmatched

Mazoo Mazoo 😅

We did not hear the history Mazoe

These are the long term effects of Zim using a stronger currency in the region

Yeah in Zambia we buy for less than 2dollars

Makanganwa Pane sugar tax muZimbabwe,Zambia hakuna!

Well I can't believe I just watched a documentary about Mazoe lol

Production cost in Zimbabwe is way too high , taking cognisant of high taxes , high operating costs i.e fuel .... Greed by Management etc
