CORONA, SIBEBE, FLYING FISH SET TO ENERGISE BUSHFIRE 2026
Eswatini Beverages is raising the bar at the MTN Bushfire Festival 2026, bringing back fan favourites Corona and Sibebe, while introducing an exciting newcomer, Flying Fish.
There is a unique energy at Bushfire, something organic and deeply rooted in the Swati spirit. It lives in the music, the people, and the shared moments that turn strangers into friends. For Eswatini Beverages, that energy feels like home.
This year’s presence is both a celebration of tradition and a step forward. Corona and Sibebe return as familiar staples, while Flying Fish makes its much-anticipated debut, adding a fresh twist to the festival experience.
A Blend of Global and Local
Corona remains synonymous with Bushfire, a globally loved beer that perfectly complements the festival’s open-air, laid-back atmosphere. It represents connection, shared moments, and easy celebration under the African sky.
Sibebe, on the other hand, is proudly local. Named after one of Eswatini’s most iconic landmarks, it embodies national pride and cultural identity. At a festival that honours heritage and creativity, Sibebe resonates deeply with the spirit of home.
Together, the two brands strike a balance between global appeal and local authenticity — a pairing that continues to define Eswatini Beverages’ Bushfire presence.
A Fresh Arrival: Flying Fish
Stealing the spotlight this year is Flying Fish, a fruit-infused beer making its first appearance at Bushfire. Light, vibrant, and contemporary, it caters to a new generation of festival-goers seeking something different.
Its introduction reflects Eswatini Beverages’ evolving portfolio and commitment to meeting changing tastes, ensuring every attendee finds a drink that matches their moment.
More Than Just Beverages
Speaking at the 2026 launch, Country Director Doreen Tumureebire highlighted the deeper connection:
“Bushfire is more than a festival. It is a movement, one that celebrates creativity, unity, and purpose. These are values that deeply resonate with us.”
With over 50 years in Eswatini, the company’s impact extends beyond beverages, supporting local industries, agriculture, and employment across the value chain.
Ready to Celebrate
As Bushfire 2026 approaches, one thing is certain: whether it’s the crisp familiarity of Corona, the local pride of Sibebe, or the refreshing taste of Flying Fish, the experience promises to be unforgettable.
The fire is lit. The drinks are cold. Eswatini, it’s time to celebrate.
