Coca-Cola has announced a 17 percent price reduction on its popular 500ml glass bottle in Nyanza and Western as part of a new regional campaign dubbed ‘Shika Mzito’.
Consumers in the region can now enjoy their favourite Coke, Fanta or Sprite for just KES 50—down from KES 60—in celebration of the community’s hard work, resilience, and vibrant spirit.
The three-month campaign will roll out across ten counties: Kisumu, Homa Bay, Migori, Siaya, Kisii, Nyamira, Kakamega, Bungoma, Vihiga, and Busia. It honours the region’s deep sense of community connections by making their favourite pack affordable and available to be enjoyed by all during this campaign.
“Nyanza and Western are known for their strong community bonds, Coca-Cola’s iconic 500ml pack has always been a part of these connections,” said Weslene Orwoba, Senior Marketing Manager, Coca-Cola Kenya.
“Whether it’s after a long day in farms, during a break, or while cheering on a favourite football team, these are moments that bring people together—and nothing complements them better than an ice-cold Coke. ‘Shika Mzito’ is our way of celebrating those moments and making them even more enjoyable with an affordable refreshment.”
Popularly known as ‘madiaba’, the 500ml bottle is being positioned as a symbol of pride and recognition—an everyday reward for the region’s unsung heroes: farmers, fishermen, football fans, boda boda riders, teachers, artisans, and many others who uplift their communities in meaningful ways.
Coca-Cola has long been part of the region’s vibrant football culture and community celebrations, in a place proud to be home to legendary teams like Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards, Kakamega Homeboyz, Shabana FC, and many more.
“Community is everything in Nyanza and Western regions, and celebrations big or small, are part of the culture. ‘Shika Mzito’ is our way of joining in those moments and creating even more reasons to come together,” added Ms Orwoba.
With this price reduction, Coca-Cola is not just offering value—it’s reaffirming its commitment to the traditions, passions, and values that define Nyanza and Western Kenya.
