Off to Cairo
The MTC Africa Cup of Nations SMS competition produced two winners who were announced yesterday by MTC's Tim Ekandjo.
Uti Tjiriange and Paulus Petaya each received a prize for two to Egypt to watch the Namibia vs South Africa match on Friday, as well as the Namibia vs Ivory Coast game on 1 July.
The trip is worth N$30 000 per person, all inclusive, plus allowances.
Tjiriange said she will take her 11- year-old son along, while Petaya will be accompanied by Lessyn Kalwenya.
“It's my first time to win such a competition. There were quite a lot of questions,” said Petaya.
The winners will be accompanied to Egypt by Fikameni Matias and Fermeru Makhubela from MTC.
Participants had to SMS the word “AFCON” to 999 to receive a question. Thereafter, the customer received a question from the short code 1999. SMSes were charged at N$3 each.
Ekandjo said the second phase of the competition will be announced at a later stage. The winners will be provided with an opportunity to watch the third/fourth-place playoff as well as the final.
“The reason for the competition is to make sure that people have an opportunity to go watch a great tournament. We are optimistic that they will enjoy the matches,” Ekandjo said, who predicted that Namibia will draw both their remaining group matches.
