Gam farmer wins MTC’s million ONE IN A MILLION: A 54-year-old communal farmer from the Gam settlement in the Omaheke Region, Kaaverua Karaerua, yesterday emerged as the overall winner in MTC Namibia’s ‘Wanna Be a Million-yeah’ SMS competition.The competition ran for three months between 6 June and 6 October 2016, with participants urged to apply via text messages, with no limit to the amount of entries per participant.
“The fact that we have a winner from Gam should tell you something about how extensive MTC’s reach is throughout the country,” MTC spokesperson John Ekongo said.
Given the platform to speak, Kararaerua thanked MTC and said he was grateful to be the lucky winner.
The father of six said he planned to plough the prize money into his farm.
