JUST days after being involved in a car accident, Westville resident Phumzile Ngcobo received news that she had won a brand-new Grand i10 Auto Sedan in the SPAR Car competition.

A regular shopper at the Westville SUPERSPAR, she said at first she thought the phone call was a scam. “I even said, ‘They are now coming for me, I am being scammed’,” she recalled.

It was only after her pastor’s wife spoke with the caller that she believed it was real.

Still nursing an injured hand, Ngcobo said she was thankful.

“The call came a few days after I had an accident which left my car beyond repairs. I am so happy and so grateful, words fail me.”

Westville SUPERSPAR owner Rael Laurie shared in the excitement. “This is a national competition and we are privileged that one of the winners is from our store. It’s even more special because Phumzile is a regular shopper, known to all our staff,” he said.

The store celebrated the handover on Friday with vibrant decorations, music, dancing, and a large cake for all shoppers to enjoy.
