Mlondolozi Mjekula, whose name was pulled as the first winner in the Daily Dispatch Festive Shopping Spree draw, walked away with an early Christmas gift this week.
Mjekula, a Transnet employee, said when he received the call on Tuesday notifying him that he had won R10 000, he was oblivious to his name being in the newspaper.
“I was sitting with the paper in front of me, but I hadn’t read it as I was still busy at work. When I was told that my name was in the paper, I couldn’t believe it,” he said.
The married father of two excitedly said the early gift was a Christmas bonus for him and his family.
“It’s that time of the year where one has to spend on gifts and having a good time, and this money is really going to come in handy. I will be taking my family out so they can enjoy themselves.
“The money will also be going into my children’s school fees for next year. Thank you Daily Dispatch for this great honour.”
The competition, which started on November 18 and runs until December 16, has a total of R60 000 up for grabs.
Three lucky readers will win R10 000 while one will walk away with the grand prize of R30 000. Continue buying the paper for the entry form and to find out who the next winners will be. – nonsindisoq@dispatch.co.za
