WATCH: Lucky Oxford Freshmarket shopper walks away with R250 000

Oxford Freshmarket hosted a competition which saw a giveaway of more than R500 000 to lucky shoppers.

OXFORD Freshmarket was abuzz on Saturday as they gave away prizes of over R500 000 at the Waterfall Store which opened its doors last year.

The store ran a competition and chose 11 shoppers. Hlengiwe Mchunu from Welbadatch in Savanna Park was the lucky winner of R250 000, and the other 10 finalists won R25 000 each.

“I am very happy and shocked at the same time. With this money, I will fix my mother’s house. It is something I have been praying for for years. I am more than happy; words cannot describe the feeling I have; it feels so unbelievable,” said a teary Mchunu.

Oxford CEO Brett Latimer said it has been a long road at Oxford, but the next mountain is ahead of them, coming up in Amanzimtoti.

“In all sincerity, Oxford Waterfall has been unbelievable for us; the community has been incredible. We are honoured to serve the community. This next year, we are committed to being the cheapest full trolley in Durban.”

He congratulated Mchunu and said they were delighted to be able to change her life to the extent of a quarter of a million rand.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
