After being informed about her win during the draw, Kandodo could not believe her luck and she asked several times if the information was true.
When told it was true and the event was live on television and other platforms she said: “Thank you Lord, thank you Jesus.”
The minister then urged the mobile phone provider to be more involved in initiatives that help communities such as construction of health centres and roads.
Commenting on the draw, Airtel Marketing Director Thokozani Sande said the winner was known through a fair process.
“It was a game of chance, we could not know who was going to win,” she said.

Sande said they are excited that the promotion ended without hitches and the company will continue to organize promotions to engage customers.
