Lilongwe man Amon Mbewe carts MK1m in Chibuku Shake-Shake Bonanza
Amon Mbewe, a low income earning resident of Area 50 in Lilongwe, has emerged the first grand winner of MK1 million in the on-going Chibuku Shake-Shake Bonanza.
Chibuku Products Limited (CPL) Operations Manager, Barter Chunga, officially presented the cheque to Mbewe at a function that took place at the company’s Lilongwe Brewery in Area 28 (Roberts) on Thursday.
In December 2023, CPL invested MK10 million into the bonanza to demonstrate its gratitude to its customers across Malawi apart from the usual niceties and parties, including music shows and gigs, that the company organizes periodically to recognize and appreciate its customers.
The bonanza has been running since 15thDecember 2023 and will end on 31st January 2024.
So far, over 200 customers, drawn from all corners of Malawi, Northern Region through Mzuzu Brewery, Southern Region through Blantyre Brewery, Central Region through Lilongwe Rrewery and Eastern Region through Mangochi Rrewery, have won monetary prizes ranging from MK20, 000 and upwards.
Speaking when he presented the cheque to Mbewe, Chunga said the company recognizes and appreciates the support its customers give through consumption of its beers – Chibuku packets and Chibuku Super.
“Hence, the main aim of this bonanza is really to celebrate with our customers and we’ve got customers the whole of Malawi. We’ve a footprint across the country in as afar as sale of the cleanest and healthiest opaque beer is concerned in Malawi. So, we organized this bonanza to celebrate with our customers during these Christmas and New Year festivities,” he said.
Chunga thanked the company’s Managing Director, Gerald Bowler, for prioritizing the economic welfare of the customers by introducing a bonanza that will, not only enable the customers celebrate, but also cushion them from the economic shocks of devaluation.
He said the monetary prizes the company is giving away will go a long way in cushioning lucky customers.
“Take for instance, Mr. Mbewe now is MK1 million richer. This is not a mean amount of money. He can do greater things with this money, especially considering that this is January,” emphasized Chunga.
In his remarks, Mbewe said the monetary prize he had received will help him settle school fees for his children, who include one in the university and another one currently in Form 3.
“I have no better words to thank CPL than to pledge my allegiance to its beer brands. I am so grateful,” he said as he smiled broadly.
