Mboweni was the lucky winner of a nationwide promotion that ran from October 25 to November 9 last year. In order for customers to enter the competition, they had to spend R1000 or more at any Build it stores countrywide and complete an entry form. A local store winner was then announced who was automatically entered into the national draw. Mboweni was the lucky winner at the Letaba Cross branch and went home with a toolbox as the prize.

He could not believe his luck when he also won the national draw! Branch manager, Samson Johani, handed over the keys to Mboweni who was accompanied by his fiancée, Lurdes Hlungwani. “I still cannot believe that I actually won the truck. I had a premonition that the competition was divinely made for me. After entering, I prayed to God to intervene and I’m glad that my prayer was answered.”

Mboweni, who is also an architect and a carpenter, encouraged people to take part in competitions, as it might be their turn to win. Former soccer star and Bafana Bafana player, Bennedict Vilakazi, was part of the festivities. He signed soccer balls and interacted with the excited crowd. A jumping castle kept the little ones busy and live performances from various artists entertained the audience along with giveaways.

Johani thanked customers who entered the competition for their continuous support. “Customers have witnessed that they can become winners with Build it! They benefit by buying from us because of the quality and prices of our products,” he concluded.
