My gratitude extends to the efforts you make to better our nation through social/
charity responsibility. I am deeply saddened, though, by the way you conduct your Grand Challenges. As a resident of a small city, with one OK Supermarket, which by any standards makes sales that beat other Supermarkets in bigger cities like Harare, we (plus my fellow citizens) expected that one of us would walk away with one of the prizes at stake, even the least in value, but alas, we were in dreamland.
Get me right because I am not saying your draw was a fleece on us, no, all I am saying is one of us expected to win at least a lollipop.
Right now with seven cars won in Harare, it means we are not on your map, as far as winning is concerned, and for your own information, people who buy at such branches have developed an attitude, because they know even if you entered a hundred times at OK you won’t win. This is the same feeling your customers in Mutare and other branches are feeling.
The best approach you can do is categorise prizes by provinces i.e. Masvingo
province our car, stands, cash etc and so on for Manicaland, Matebeleland,
Mashonaland etc. We need everything to be fair. Follow what Econet did the last
time they conducted a national draw. They came out to us their customers and held
their provincial draw and guess what, someone from Mpandawana won himself $5 000 in cash. – LOYAL CUSTOMER, ¬by e-mail
