Vodacom Gauteng regional marketing manager Prince Kutama said the initiative aimed to reward customers with memorable events alongside standard network services. “Today is a great day. We are here to reward our customers, whom we value so much, who have won tickets to one of the greatest rivalries in rugby,” said Kutama.

He explained that entry was automatic for clients who upgraded or took out new contracts at participating outlets. “It was an automatic entry for them to win this great experience with the Springboks, which Vodacom is a partner to in terms of the sponsorship that we have with them.”

Kutama said offering double tickets allowed recipients to bring a guest to the stadium, adding that the campaign focused on providing meaningful value while catering to consumer budgets. The recipients will attend the match on September 5.
