We are familiar with the hustle. It is the need to make something of ourselves. To make enough money to improve our lives and that of our families. One of the most popular ways to do this is with boda bodas.

At the moment, there are over 700,000 boda boda riders registered in Kenya who generate more than Sh400 million daily. However, becoming a rider is not always easy. Motorbikes can be expensive and for many, out of reach.

Safaricom is giving you a chance to change that. In line with their Shinda Mamili na Tunukiwa promotion, aspiring riders have the chance to win 400 brand new TVS brand HLX 125cc motorbikes.

"Who wouldn’t want a brand new serviced bike that comes complete with a Log book, in their name and fuel to drive off from the show room and straight into their hustle?"

"Even if you don’t ride bikes, you can always sell it and get at least 95k into your pocket which is the current value of these bikes from Car and General, one of the most trusted motorized deals in the country. The campaign comes as Safaricom’s goal to provide prizes that not only help their customers but are socially impactful." They said.

“We realized that customers never really believed that they could win the millions. They wanted items that were much more tangible and in the spirit of enabling our customers, we went for boda bodas, school fees voucher and even shopping vouchers.”

They added, “By giving prizes other than just millions, we are ensuring that more Kenyans have an opportunity to win something. Simple math, if you give one person Sh1million, that would be one person who won. With the same Sh1million, you can give out 10 bikes, to 10 winners, 10 families who will definitely benefit from long-term income generating machine.”

All you have to do to have a chance of winning is dial *444# and buy any of the calling, SMS and browsing bundles to be awarded entry points. Customers get 10 points for daily bundles and 500 points for monthly bundles. Customers can also double their airtime by buying Tunukiwa bonus airtime.

The campaign which will run till the 27th of March will see more than five million people win with Tunukiwa – That’s one in 5 Safaricom customers! Prizes includes, eight grand draw winners of Sh2million per region, 80 winners of Sh500,000 every week per region, 1,200 school fees vouchers and 2,000 neon smartphones. The offer is open to both post pay and prepay customers.
