Thokozani told Daily Sun: “I won a brand new car. What makes this special is the fact that I’ve never won anything my life. This was my first ever prize and I’m excited about it. I won the car on Wednesday, 31 August but I only collected it on Friday. On Sunday I took it to church and I enjoyed the ride. It still feels like a dream come true. When I entered the competition I didn’t really expect to win, but I was doing it for the fun of it. Little did I know that I was in for a huge surprise.”
He said he will be using the car to travel from Joburg to Eastern Cape, especially on holidays.
“I had an old car and it was already giving me some problems. But now God has smiled my way and I’m grateful for this. I live in Joburg but my home town is Mqanduli in the Eastern Cape,” he said, adding that the car comes with no terms and conditions.
