After staring on a dark screen in her living room
for more than a month, Nancy Mudecha, 35, a green grocer from Musasa village in
Chavakali, decided to borrow five hundred shillings to top-up and buy a set top
box.
“I had only five hundred shillings and so I borrowed
another five hundred from a friend as it was getting boring in the house without
a television. I was only listening to radio but missed TV news and programmes,”
said Mrs. Mudecha.
On 24th March 2015, the mother of five
went into a friend’s shop and asked
for the decoder on credit as she didn’t have the total amount of Sh1, 399.
“I talked
to the shopkeeper and he allowed me to take the decoder and pay the balance
later,” Mrs. Mudecha explained. “I had overheard on radio a discussion that was
promoting GOtv saying it was the best for local and international channels,”
she said.
The
shopkeeper allowed her to take the decoder home after she paid Sh1, 000 and
allowed her to pay promised to pay the balance of Sh400 in two weeks’ time.
“He helped
me register the decoder using my mobile phone and also connected it,” she said.
However, it was an unexpected call from GOtv
that surprised Mrs. Mudecha who explains that her husband could not help her pay
up the debt due to other family commitment.
“I was
called on Tuesday by GOtv staff and informed I was the lucky winner of
Sh1million. I was shocked and couldn’t believe it,” she said excitedly. “They explained
to me that it was true and helped me book a bus to Nairobi to receive the
cheque,” she added.
When asked what the money will be used for, Mrs.
Mudecha explained, “God comes in various ways. I will first buy a bigger flat
screen TV. Then I will buy a bigger shamba, build a house and educate my five
children.”
Mrs.
Mudecha, who’s already fond of her GOtv programming, likes it all but
identifies local news and
comedy programmes as her favourite shows.
She
becomes the fourth Kenyan to win a million shillings in the 8 weeks competition of GOtv’s ‘Dunga
Milli’ competition which launched four weeks ago. The competition
coincidentally has seen 3 previous winners who are all winners, will see
Kenyans rewarded for going digital with GOtv, while enjoying the instant
