Dar es Salaam, Tuesday, June 9 2016. Vodacom Tanzania has today


launched a mega promotion dubbed Kamata Mpunga that will see one lucky
customer win 100ml/- cash prize and change their life for the better while
others stand a chance to walk away with either 1m/-, 5ml/- or 20ml/- through
out the promotion that will last 140 days whereas a total of 615m/- is to be
won.
Vodacom Tanzania is expecting to make life better for Tanzanians through the
Kamata Mpunga promo as those who will win the money will be able to
invest the amount in any lucrative entrepreneurial project and therefore
manage to generate more income.
The Kamata Mpunga promo is a continuation of Vodacoms mission to make
life better for Tanzanians as the leading telecom company conducted a
similar promotion last year known as Jaymillions.
Previously Vodacom Tanzania has also conducted a number of promotions
like Timka na bodaboda and Mahela which saw a student of Kigoma
Education College walk away with 100m/-.
Vodacom Tanzania is determined to help Tanzanians change their lives for
the better by giving them a chance to win millions which if invested wisely
for instance in M-Pawa so as to earn interest can improve peoples lives.

Besides the 100m/- grand prize to be won at the end of the promo, every
other day from Monday to Saturday 3 Vodacom customers will win 1m/- in
cash, while every Sunday one lucky customer will win 5m/- and at every end
of the month through out the 140 days of the promotion one customer will
walk away with 20m/-.
To subscribe to Kamata Mpunga promotion a customer is required to send
an SMS with a word GO to 15544 and will thereafter receive an SMS
informing them that they have successfully entered the promo.
From this point, the subscribed customer will start receiving questions that
will come along with correct and incorrect answers. If he/she picks a correct
answer she will collect more points, bringing him/her closer to winning the
cash prizes. However, should he/she picks an incorrect answer she/he will
still gain points, only less.
For every SMS that a customer will send to number 15544, a customer will
collect 100 bonus points, and will gain even more points by answering the
questions, 20 points for correct answers and 10 points for incorrect answers,
said Matina Nkurlu, Vodacom Tanzania Public Relations Manager.
She added that to encourage customers to participate and stand a chance to
win, they will randomly give subscribed customers bonus points for half an
hour or thorough out a day.
One can also increase their chances of winning by sending an SMS with a
word WIN to the same number. This will cost 200/-.
For every SMS that a customer will send, from subscribing to the promo and
answering the questions will cost 300/- which will come from their airtime.
Notes to editors:
About Vodacom Tanzania
Vodacom Tanzania Limited is Tanzania's leading cellular network offering
state-of-the-art GSM communication services across the country.

It was

launched in 2000 and is a subsidiary of Vodacom Group (Pty) Limited, South


Africa, which is a subsidiary of Vodafone Group UK. Mirambo Ltd. is a
minority shareholder.

Vodacom is the market leader in Tanzania and has introduced many firsts in
the market. One of the most popular is its M-PESA money transfer service
with close to 7 million active users. This total payment solution does not
require users to have bank accounts -

an important consideration

in

Tanzania where millions of people do not operate bank accounts or do not


meet the minimum qualifications to open an account. With M-PESA, Vodacom
customers can deposit up to Tsh 5m/- for free, send and receive money and
withdraw cash from any agent in the country. They can also access their
bank accounts from the comfort of their homes. M-Pesas reach is further
augmented by over 85,000 Mobile Money agents across the country.
Over 500 organisations have integrated their payment systems with M-Pesa
for collections, disbursement and distributor services. M-Pesa was enhanced
last year to include a saving facility M-Pawa. Over 1.5 million customers
have subscribed to this service with Tshs 6.8 billion/- retained in deposits and
over Tshs 500 million/- disbursed in loans every month.
M-Pesa is integrated with 26 banks in Tanzania and was declared a Super
Brand in 2013.
