MTN8 Wafa Wafa rewards Women with their share of R8 million in prizes

Passionate female football fans are in for a generous reward and recognition during this year’s Women’s Month. MTN SA is giving away R8 million in fan prizes during the MTN8 Wafa Wafa tournament and female fans stand a chance to pocket R16 000, R8 000 of which will go to a charity of their choice that caters for women and children, for dressing up in spectacular fan regalia at the stadiums during the 2013 edition of the tournament.

Senior management from MTN will select the winner at the stadium at each game. The winning female football fan will be announced at half time including a presentation of a cheque. The social responsibility element of the competition is in line with MTN’s vision that football must leave a legacy amongst the communities in which it operates.

 “This year, we continue our efforts to go the extra mile to connect fans with their passions by bringing not only R8 million in amazing prizes but also continuing to stage incredible MTN8 Wafa Wafa experiences,” says Brian Gouldie: Chief Marketing Officer at MTN SA.

“In the spirit of Women’s Month of August, we encourage fanatical female supporters to come to the stadiums clad in unconventional fan gear. The best dressed female supporter of the day will take all the winnings, in line with the winner-takes-all theme of MTN8 Wafa Wafa, to share it with her charity of their choice.”

“As South African football fans are among the most colourful supporters in the world,” we want to continue rewarding female fans that come in numbers to support football in colourful ways while supporting a worthy cause,” Gouldie concludes.
