Leading brewery company in Cameroon, Les Brasseries Du Cameroun is always in the heart of action across the country. During celebrations for this year’s feast of the Tabaski (Aïd-El-Kabir or feast of the ram), the Muyuka agency of Les Brasseries Du Cameroun like in other parts of the country, joined Muslim faithfuls in prayers and feasting.

9:00am, Friday, October 26 2012, next door to the Mosque in Muyuka, the Chief of Outdoor Activities in the Muyuka agency of Les Brasseries Du Cameroun, Richard Mukete, the Chief of Sector, Achille Boniface Ndi and their hostesses had setup a tent composed of some of the company’s finest soft drinks.
According to Mukete, his company is out to feast and accompany the muslim community in Muyuka as they celebrate the feast of the ram. “We’re a citizen oriented company and so we’ve decided to join the muslim community in celebration by bringing closer to them some of our finest soft drinks to spice their entertainment session after long hours of prayers and meditation,” he said.

He added that their hostesses have been moving around the neighbourhoods in Muyuka, especially Muslim dominated areas to take the soft drinks, at affordable prices, to potential buyers. “This is a period of joy and thanks giving to the Muslims, so, Les Brasseries Du Cameroun cannot be out of it. We are interested in sharing in their happiness,” Mukete noted.
The Chief of Sector, Ndi, corroborated. “Before the D-Day, we have been criss-crossing the various neighbourhoods in Muyuka, distributing our products to the citizens and the Muslims in particular, who had been in feverish preparations for the feast of the ram. We’ve recorded good sales recently. We thank our customers for the support and confidence. Les Brasseries Du Cameroun will not stop offering them quality products at all times,” he said.
After the afternoon prayer session, Mohamadou Bello, a delighted and Muyuka based Muslim faithful, was one of the many, who walked into Les Brasseries Du Cameroun tent and bought a variety of soft drinks. “I love Les Brasseries Du Cameroun and their products. At this time of celebrations, I go for their products, which will spice the joy in my home. Many friends have been invited, so my family and I have to entertain them,” he mentioned.
