A SOLWEZI based fire technician Moses Simukanga has become the second winner of K200,000 in the MTN Yako ni Yako competition.
According to a statement from MTN Zambia, this comes barely a month after a Kitwe based metallurgist Anthony Phiri claimed the same prize.
Meanwhile, MTN Zambia chief marketing officer, Clement Asante has described the Yako ni Yako service as life-changing.
He disclosed that since the service was launched in March 2014, more than 13,000 MTN customers across the country had won various prizes in the form of MTN talk-time and money.
“We have spent K553,728 in prizes so far which has seen more than 13,000 customers win various prizes since the inception of Yako ni Yako. Today, I am pleased to announce the second winner of the K200,000, Mr Simukanga of Solwezi,” said Mr Asante.
He also pledged MTN Zambia’s commitment to developing products and services that inspire positive development in customers’ lives as a way of giving back to the community.
Yako ni Yako is a pre-paid service on MTN that gives participating customers a chance to win daily prizes with their MTN number.
And commenting on his prize, an ecstatic Mr Simukanga said he still did not believe he had won K200,000.
“I am happy and anxious. As for my plans, I am not going to stop work. I will use the money to build a house, buy a small car and start school,” he said.
