Vodacom Group

Vodacom Yebo Millionaires has over the years changed the lives of many South Africans, be it by giving away cash, cars, cellphones to individuals or the many computer centres to schools all over South Africa.

South Africa's latest millionaire hails from a village in the Limpopo province. Lebo simply SMSed 9 letters to 32082 and won a million!  The longstanding Vodacom customer was shocked when he received the news.  "I couldn't believe that I had won so much money. I immediately wanted to share the good news with my parents," said Lebo.

This is not the first time that Lebo has won with Yebo Millionaires; the 23 year old won some airtime just a short time ago.  "I thought that I might win more airtime, not a million rand!  I would like to thank Vodacom Yebo Millionaires for giving me this life changing win. I would also like to thank my parents for looking after me since I still live with them."

Lebo plans to use his winnings to redecorate the family home, where he lives with his parents and his brother, and further his education. "I want to go back to school and complete matric.  Then I will use some of the money to pay for my studies to become an electrical engineer. My father has been the bread winner in the family for many years, but now I can help provide for the family."

Other than the hard work that lies ahead in building a career, Lebo will also have some time, and the funds for his favourite pastime:  watching Jean-Claude Van Damme movies with his friends and supporting his favourite soccer team, the Kaizer Chiefs.

Joe Dlamini, ME for the Limpopo region comments, "The prize couldn't have gone to a better winner. Lebo celebrates his birthday on 27 July and we are delighted to present him with a million rand gift. From Vodacom we say happy birthday and many more."
