Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has spread early Christmas joy to eight lucky winners of its 2023 Christmas promotion, each receiving a brand-new house complete with a solar system and Econet Smart Home security. The grand prize giveaway ceremony occurred on Wednesday at Penrose Estate in Nyabira, approximately 30km northwest of Harare. The event was graced by a team from Econet, led by the company’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Kezito Makuni.
The promotion, themed “iKhisimusi Sifikile, Kisimusi Yatosvika — Tapinda Sesingenile,” ran from November 2023 to February 2024 and had a total value exceeding US$350,000. Econet customers needed to recharge their airtime with at least US$5 to enter. Throughout the promotion period, hundreds of participants won various prizes, including smartphones, gas stoves, airtime, cash, and branded merchandise.
At the ceremony, the winners expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Econet, Zimbabwe’s leading telecommunications company, for the transformative gifts.
Ropafadzo Msida, a 25-year-old from Chiredzi, was overjoyed as she received the keys to her new smart home. “I never imagined I would win something so monumental. This house is more than just a prize; it’s the foundation of my family’s future. I am beyond thankful to Econet for making this possible,” she said, visibly emotional.
Rebecca Mushuku from Gutu initially doubted the legitimacy of her win. “I thought it was a scam until I saw the house and signed the ownership papers. Winning something this big was beyond my wildest dreams. I’m so thankful to Econet for turning my dream into reality,” she shared.
For Memory Chinyama, the timing of the win was perfect. “I’ve been renting for years, and owning my own home seemed like a distant dream. When I got the call, I was overwhelmed with joy. Thanks to Econet, I now have a place to call my own, and it has completely transformed my life,” he said.
In addition to the houses, Econet also awarded home solar kits to several other winners, addressing the region’s persistent power challenges. Rachidi Julius from Raffingora expressed his appreciation: “With the ongoing power issues, this solar kit will make a world of difference. I can now rely on consistent power. Thank you, Econet, for this life-changing Christmas gift.” Five other winners enjoyed exciting holiday packages, including all-expenses-paid trips to Victoria Falls. Leon Masamba, one of these winners, was thrilled: “My family and I haven’t gone on a holiday in years, so this trip feels like a dream come true. God bless you, Econet!”
During the event, Mr. Makuni highlighted the success of the promotion and reaffirmed Econet’s commitment to its customers. “We are thrilled by the overwhelming participation and customer engagement we’ve seen in this Christmas promotion. Our customers are at the heart of our business, and this initiative is about more than just rewards — it’s about making a tangible difference in their lives.” He added, “We believe these gifts will bring joy and meaningful change to their lives, just in time for the upcoming Christmas holidays.”
