43 - SABC TV Licences Competition Winner
On Spring Day, 1 September 2023 SABC TV Licences launched the Win A Holiday Experience competition campaign in an effort to encourage South African customers to pay (or renew) their TV Licences.
For their efforts, customers would be rewarded with weekly prizes such as smart TVs, Bluetooth speakers, wireless headphones and laptops. This was done by a random selection automated by a dedicated microsite that was set up to monitor the competition entries.
In order to qualify for the prizes, the customers needed to pay their TV Licence between 1 September 2023 and 15 December 2023. A random winner would be selected each week from the valid entries.
To sweeten the deal, the overall winner for the competition would get to choose an international experience: either the Coachella music festival in California or a Bundesliga match in Germany.
In this episode Gino chats to the winner of the grand prize, Thabo Batshe, who has just got back from California. We get to hear his experiences of winning a big competition and what it was like being whisked across the world to the U.S. Thabo is a Communication Assistant at one of the big banks and had never been overseas before.
Let us know what you think, what movie or series you would like to see featured, or just to tell us how brilliant it all is:
