A Shake of a lifetime brings one lucky VodaBucks winner R500,000 closer to his Dream Home

SA – Vodacom customer Mbaa Malolo’s life has changed overnight!  
As the first lucky recipient of a R500,000 cash injection towards a Dream Home, Malolo didn’t quite believe it at first. As part of the VodaBucks Rewards Programme, Malolo says he would ‘Shake’ his device every day and continued to do so until he received a notification informing him, he had won R500,000 towards a Dream Home. “I didn’t believe it, until a representative from Vodacom called me to confirm my luck,” he says.

The 45-year-old father of four and sole breadwinner says the winnings will help to alleviate the pressure of paying back the loan. “Thanks to Vodacom’s Rewards Programme, VodaBucks, I am going to build my castle and live comfortably ever after.” 

The Turfloop resident has been a Vodacom customer for more than 15 years and with two active SIM cards on the network, visits the My Vodacom App every day without fail, to ‘Shake’.
Vodacom introduced the VodaBucks Rewards Programme last month, as a single platform that rewards customers for their loyalty. Free to join, the VodaBucks Rewards Programme rewards customers with VodaBucks, which is a unified virtual currency, every time they achieve personalised behavioural goals, such as buying specific bundles using the Just-4-You platform or downloading and engaging with the My Vodacom App. 

“South Africans have their own distinctive set of socio-economic challenges. This means our customers are looking to brands like ours to provide meaningful solutions that ease their daily lives and offer financial relief. The cash prize towards improving Mr Malolo’s life is one way of giving back to our customers for their loyalty to Vodacom,” says Vodacom Consumer Business chief officer Jorge Mendes.

In addition to the Dream Home, VodaBucks has given away over R2.5 million in grand prizes. VodaBucks Rewards Programme rewards customers for doing the things they already do. 
To join the programme, customers need to visit the My Vodacom App or dial *133#.
