A DANGAMVURA woman is on cloud nine after winning one of the 17 Jeep Compasses that were part of the promotion prizes of the TM Big Brands Bargain Bonanza promotion.
The lucky winner, Mrs Nyasha Muparutsa (50), of Area 15 was all smiles about winning the car and emphasized that promotions held by various supermarkets were aimed at empowering customers.
“I am still shocked that I won this car. I did not expect to win a brand new car when I don’t even own a second hand one. I only bought a bottle of salad cream, tomato sauce and a few other items which cost me about $9. It was on Thursday and that was the last day of the competition.
“I was reluctant to fill in the competition coupons because I did not have time, but the till operator persuaded me until I complied. I was called on Monday by people from TM Harare telling me that I had won a Jeep Compass. I was excited and shocked, but I also figured out that these competitions are real. There is absolutely no corruption involved,” said the jovial Mrs Muparutsa.
Mrs Muparutsa also described the car as a blessing from God saying she now has transport to carry her ailing sister around.
“God answers prayers in different ways. This car comes as a blessing to me and my family because I have a sick sister and carrying her around was proving to be a challenge. We had to hire transport to ferry her to hospital most of the times. Now that we have a mode of transport, mobility will be easier,” she said.
The mother of three urged people to participate in competitions as everyone was capable of winning.
The Big Brands Bargain Bonanza was an idea by TM and Pick n Pay supermarkets to celebrate the nation’s biggest brands and some of the prizes included 17 top-of-the-range Jeep Compasses and a Jeep Cherokee.
