Ntsie Mafatle is the latest grand prize winner of M200 000 from Econet Telecom Lesotho’s (ETL) Baso200 Campaign, joining the growing list of those whose world has been changed by the telecommunications giant.
The Baso200 Campaign, launched by ETL in November 2024, is a celebration of Lesotho’s bicentennial. The campaign showers Econet customers with incredible prizes while offering unmatched value to new subscribers.
Mafatle was proclaimed the big winner during a recent prize-giving ceremony held in Maseru, and he was full of joy and gratitude to ETL for making his dreams come true.
“This win means everything to me and my family it will help us achieve things we never thought possible. To anyone who is hearing about this campaign for the first time, trust me, this is real. If you are an ETL subscriber, don’t hesitate to participate. You could be the next lucky winner,” Mafatle said.
Speaking at the event, Ketja Nhlapo, ETL’s acting General Manager of Marketing, Communications and Customer Experience, expressed his excitement for the latest winner and celebrated the ongoing success of the campaign.
“We are thrilled to congratulate Ntsie Mafatle as the second recipient of the M200 000 grand prize.
This campaign has already seen close to M900 000 in cash prizes alone being won by our valued ETL customers since its launch. This is a true testament to our commitment to rewarding loyalty and transforming lives,” Nhlapo said.
He also encouraged ETL subscribers to continue participating for a chance to win even more prizes.
“There are amazing prizes still up for grabs before the campaign concludes in March. Daily prizes include M2 000 in cash, and weekly prizes offer M10 000 in cash or a smartphone. The final M200 000 monthly prize, appreciation prizes symbolising Basotho culture, and the ultimate grand prize – a brand-new Toyota GD6 – are still to be won.”
“To participate, new ETL subscribers simply need to buy Nalane bundles starting from M10, which unlocks 200 local seconds, 200 ETL-to-ETL daily minutes, and 1.3GB of data. These data benefits are valid for 200 minutes, and the calling benefits last for a day. Once unlocked, subscribers qualify for daily, weekly, or monthly draws depending on additional bundle purchases,” Nhlapo explained.
Nhlapo also highlighted ETL’s extensive outreach through location-based activations, taking the Baso200 campaign directly to communities across the country. This on-the-ground engagement is complemented by virtual activations to ensure everyone, no matter their location, has access to the opportunity.
“By the end of the campaign, at least 3,000 Basotho will have directly benefited, making Baso200 a truly inclusive and life-changing initiative,” Nhlapo added.
