1. Who is behind Cape Cola?
Cape Cola is a trendy new drink from Cape Town. Behind it currently are Palle, Julian, Janosch, Michael and me (Lasse). I started about two to three years ago with a fixed idea and the people I’ve just mentioned have supported me for about a year now.
I grew up in Göttingen, Germany, and about five years ago I landed in Cape Town. I immediately felt very comfortable here and met Michelle, a beautiful South African. For these reasons, I stayed in Cape Town. Michelle and I are now happily married with two wonderful children (two and four years old) and Cape Town is our home.
Palle, Julian, Janosch and Michael study or work in Germany. Although they support me from a distance, they have all visited Cape Town and share the same vision of making Cape Cola a reality. With their support, Cape Cola is taking steps of being able to stand on its own feet.
