On Friday October 14, 2023, at a ceremony which was held at the company’s Limbe offices in Blantyre, the company handed over ten tricycles to ten people who emerged winners in the grand draw of the promotion which was conducted recently.
According to Illovo Sugar Malawi’s Managing Director Lekani Katandula, the promotion name of Tseketseke Kuma Last signified the fact that they have come a long way in their efforts to become the sugar brand of choice.

“Today, we are here to hand over the fantastic prize of tricycles to ten lucky winners. Each of these tricycles is valued at MK9 Million Kwacha, and Illovo will provide insurance cover for a period of six months.
“Out of the ten winners, we have four winners from the Northern region, two from the Central region, and another four from the Southern region of Malawi. This is a testament to the diverse and wide-reaching impact of our promotion as well as the fact that our brand is loved across all corners of the country,” said Katandula.
