Coke misleading us. Consumer Protection Violation

Coke are purposefully misleading people into buying this less sugar that they claim has the same original taste. You literally have to inspect the bottles thoroughly before finding a tiny less sugar written in fine print on the bottles. I’ve spend hundreds of rands already and after the first sip I can immediately tell that this disgusting ‘original taste’ doesn’t even resemble the coke we know and love. I know coke benefit from this as the opened bottle gets thrown in my dustbin adding to their billions of revenue. I’m sure this is contravening consumer protection. They’ve raised the price due to sugar taxes, reduced the sugar so they don’t pay sugar taxes and mislead us to believe we’re buying original coke. I genuinely believe this is a breach in consumer rights. I went into a store the other day and the sales lady told me the coke rep told her they are trying to trick people into buying the less sugar stuff intentionally. I’m actually going to take this further and find out the coke reps name.
