The Chief Corporate Affairs of Africell Sierra Leone, Joe Abass Bangura, on Friday 4th September 2020, at the Company’s Headquarters, officially unveiled Afrimoney ‘Korbor Korbor’ show, which amounts to one billion Leones as Star Prize.
Speaking to journalists, Joe Abass Bangura said, apart from the one billions Leones set aside as star prize, millions of Leones will be won daily in the final draw, which will take place on 4th November 2020.
According to the Corporate Affairs, the live show will start from Monday 7th September 2020 and end on Friday 30th October, adding that the show will be live on AYV TV, FTN, Star TV, AfriRadio 105.3 FM and every other major radio station in every region across Sierra Leone.
Joe Abass Bangura revealed that the show will officially start on Monday, and will hold on Mondays to Fridays from 9:00pm, adding that, for customers to qualify, they should conduct any transaction using Afrimoney and get a chance in the daily draw.
He went on that the customer should also conduct any transaction by sending money, cash in, pay EDSA or DSTV, by airtime or data bundles from now to the 30th of October 2020.
Joe Abass continued that one lucky Afrimoney user will be selected daily for the next 40 days for the grand draw. He informed that a bonus draw will also be made on the 31st of October 2020, from which one Afrimoney user will be chosen to join the 40 days for the grand draw.
The Chief Corporate Affairs of the company pointed out that, there is also the surprise element, which captures their agents who will also win millions daily. He intimated that a team will stop by any agent outlet and ask them to do a transaction of an amount to be mentioned by the team. “If the agent is ready with the float, either hard/electronic, he/she will be the lucky winner of millions. There will be 5 winners (Agents) per day in different regions in Sierra Leone,” he said.
Mr. Bangura encouraged customers to dial *161# and sign up for Afrimoney now, if they haven’t done so, and conduct any transaction and they could be the lucky billions winners.
Africell Assistant Media Manager, Nancy Toure, said the Afrimoney show is geared towards giving back to customers of Afrimoney users, and that those who are using Afrimoney, especially those buying data, DSTV bills and those cash-in and cash-out, stand to win millions of Leones daily.
She said a road show will be undertaken by Afrimoney team; and they will be meeting their customers in their doorsteps and on the street.
“The customer only needs to spend a minimum of Le2000 to be entitled to the electronic draw,” she said.
Nancy Toure encouraged customers to register with Africel and that the daily draw will commence on Monday. She also encouraged customers to dial *161# and sign up for Afrimoney now, if they haven’t done so, and conduct any transaction, adding that they could be the lucky billions’ winner.
Tamba B, aka Chief Koblo Koblo, in his submission, said the entire draw and other prices could bring more than two billion Leones. He added that everyday customers will win prices and the draw will last for 40 days. He detailed that a customer will win one million leones daily, adding that for the 7 daily winners, the first 5 will win one million and the 6th winner will win 15 million leones, but the 7th winner will wait for the one billion leones on 4th November 2020.
