It is already Christmas for Chisukulu Community Day Secondary School teacher in Phalombe, Marion Bester Maganga, who has won a grand prize of K5 million in the First Capital Bank’s ‘5 Mita Ipite’ promotion.
The bank on Friday 16th December at the Blantyre offices conducted a grand draw together with other two draws, for November and December, where ten lucky customers won various prizes including one million Kwachas to two customers.
The grand draw saw Bester Maganga winning the K5 million grand prize, which he said will enable him to go further with his studies as he is eyeing a Masters degree in education.

“I am so grateful to have won this amount and I would like to thank the First Capital Bank management for introducing this promotion. I have been trying to get a masters degree but I was financially so weak, so with this money, I am seeing myself getting the masters degree. I am encouraging people to open accounts at FCB, they will not be disappointed, FCB offers excellent servises,” reacted Maganga.
In the other two draws, Grace Ngauma and Makata Francis Luwambo won one million kwacha each for the months of November and December respectively, while A. Mola and C. Wiston won K500,000 each for November and December and in consolation prizes, six other customers won a smart phone each for the two months.
