Christophe­r Joseph is the second recipient of the cash prize since the launch of the programme two months ago and was shocked to learn he had won – simply through “Shaking” his device. “I didn’t see the SMS, so when a Vodacom representa­tive called me to tell me I had won the prize, I didn’t think it was real,” said Joseph.

The 62-year-old retiree and build his dream house, but had run project on hold. “Although I ran out of cash in the middle of my building project, I believed that by Christmas, I would be living in my new, completed home. Now, with the VodaBucks prize, I mysterious ways,” added Joseph. The Stellenbos­ch resident and father to 24-year old twins, has been a Vodacom customer for many years, but only recently switched to a personal prepaid number after retiring. Vodacom introduced the VodaBucks Rewards Programme as a single platform that rewards customers for their loyalty. Free to join, the VodaBucks Rewards Programme rewards customers currency, every time they achieve personalis­ed behavioura­l goals, using the Just-4-You platform or downloadin­g and engaging with the My Vodacom App. In addition, customers can earn VodaBucks for the many things they already do, such as paying their Vodacom bill (including add-on data and voice bundles), and buying bundles on the VodaPay Masterpass app, with a credit card or via the bank or retail store.

“At Vodacom, we aim to provide meaningful solutions to all our customers, particular­ly in these trying times when South Africans are faced with a myriad of socioecono­mic challenges. The VodaBucks Rewards Programme is just one of the many ways we are giving back to our customers to thank them for their loyalty to Vodacom and help in improving their lives.

Now as I am celebratin­g with another gift, in a form of cash towards my house, thanks to VodaBucks,” says Joseph, who shares his current dwelling with his family.
