“Airtel believes in empowering Malawians by coming up with meaningful promotions whose prizes change their lives. We conduct promotions that impact positively on people’s lives and it is for that reason that the response from people has always been high,” said Kadango.
Kadango said following the success of the Yabooka mega promotion, the country’s leading telecom decided to increase the number of people winning in Airtel Yabooka by introducing the SMS promotion to the tune of K29 million.
