ZAIN African Challenge (ZAC) advances to semi-finals with more winners from Home Viewers
Zain continues to maintain the lead in not only communications but also development and growth and continues to ceaselessly confirm why they are the leading communications network in Sierra Leone. On April 1st 2010, twelve people emerged winners of the Zain Africa Challenge (ZAC) Home Viewers Game. These lucky people each won a mobile phone worth $600 each courtesy of Zain. The show hosted in Kampala, Uganda and aired on SLBC every Wednesday at 6 p.m. and repeated every Saturday at 8 p.m., and has proven to be a very immense challenge between Egerton University of Kenya and University of Maidugurie of Nigeria in which Egerton University emerged as the winners with 710 points, edging past University of Maidugurie who got 650 Points!
Viewers are rewarded too, with the opportunity to win Nokia N97 mini handsets each week by playing the SMS Zain Game.
Each week, three winners emerge. The recent twelve lucky winners were chosen from among local subscribers who answered questions at the end of the inter-university quiz competition that was broadcast over the SLBC TV.
       
Two happy recent winners!
To be a winner, one has to answer correctly to questions asked during the game and the answers can be sent to 600 via SMS. Â Beloved subscribers can also play the game on Facebook which is equally appealing as each winner stands to win 1,000 units of airtime.
From the start of this season’s challenge, a total of 30 people have won Nokia N97 mini hand sets, Zain Africa Challenge is a powerful testimony of the company’s commitment to the advancement of education and development indeed.
