EZULWINI – A fire officer had the best Christmas ever when he won an Opel
Corsa car worth E170 000 from MTN Swaziland.
Sifiso Shongwe who is based at the Siteki Fire Station received a call informing
him that he had won the car on Christmas Eve.
The 32-year-old father of two said he was at home at Luve, but had to return to
Manzana, Mba-bane, where he lives in preparation for the presentation which took
place at the Ezulwini MTN Swaziland offices yesterday.
He entered the MTN Win-A-Car Competition about a mon-th ago. "I had accumulated
1 007 points, which means I had spent over E400 on airtime over the past two
months," he said. Shongwe said he makes a lot of calls using his mobile phone.
This would be his first car since he has never owned one. Shongwe added that his
wife, Thenjiwe, who is also participating in the competition, was very excited.
Acting MTN Swaziland CEO Wandile Mtshali said the purpose of the promotion was
an effort to interact with its customers and to also provide them with an
opportunity to win great prizes during the festive season.
"We wish to also confirm that we have observed a positive response from our
clients towards the Win-A-Car promotion. We are excited to report that in
keeping with our promise to give away three cars in the promotion, this is the
second car we are presenting to a winner today," he said.
Mtshali said they would continue with the E5 000 weekly presentations and urged
customers to continue participating in the promotion as they still have another
chance to win the last car.
The car has features including power steering, ABS, radio and an aircon. MTN
launched this coPPmpetition last month.
On another note, the acting CEO said the company has taken action to ensure that
customers were not affected by network interruptions or blackouts in busy areas
this season.
"For December 31, we have identified two areas which may experience network
congestion which are Esibayeni Lodge and Tums Water World. Our engineers have
set mobile base stations at these two areas to increase the capacity and ensure
network availability at all times," he said.
