Safaricom has announced a new promotion dubbed ‘Shine Kenya Shinda Mamilii Kama Bingwa Promotion’ to celebrate customers with daily and weekly cash prizes.
The eight-week promotion will reward over 2.5 million Safaricom customers across the country with a range of prizes and support community projects.
Beyond individual prizes, the weekly millionaires will receive an additional KES 250,000 each, and the grand prize winner will receive an additional KES 1 million courtesy of the Safaricom Foundation to support any community initiative of their choice. This ensures that the benefits of the promotion extend beyond individual winners to uplift entire communities.

There will be one millionaire weekly from each of the above regions for a period of five weeks, spreading excitement and rewards across the country.
Additional prizes include, instant M-PESA cash prizes, content (Baze Radio and E-Newspapers) and GSM (data, voice, SMS) bundles.
