To celebrate 25 years of connecting South Africans, Vodacom customers will share over R100 million worth of prizes through its 2019 ‘Shake!Up Summer’ promotional campaign.

Available exclusively to customers on the country’s leading network, Vodacom customers will simply need to “Shake” their devices to win a share of over R100 million in prizes including cash, data, cars, vouchers for a year, international holidays and much more.

This year, for the first time ever, Vodacom has introduced functionality that allows customers to interact, engage, as well as ‘Shake’ using WhatsApp as a platform. Vodacom is a digitally-led telco that is constantly evolving and seeking innovative ways to improve customers’ communication lifestyle needs. This cements the company’s purpose of connecting millions of South Africans, ensuring inclusion for all and ultimately enabling a digital society.

“This being a special year for Vodacom, we decided to give customers even more. We always strive to deliver great value through the innovative products and services that we launch into the market. ‘Shake!Up Summer’ is yet another way of showing our appreciation to our customers in an entertaining and interactive way,” says Vodacom’s Chief Officer: Consumer Business Unit, Jorge Mendes.

To claim their daily free prize, customers need to shake using one of the three engagement channels (MyVodacom App, USSD and WhatsApp). To win bigger and better prizes, they will need to unlock a MegaShake, through earning VodaBucks by simply purchasing and enjoying the vast range of products and services on any of the three engagement channels.

Furthermore, customers can redeem their VodaBucks at the new VodaBucks Store (e-store), which will house a multitude of products such as electronic appliances and various other products, exclusively on the MyVodacom App.

Prizes up for grabs include:

  • 200 x R5 000 cash prize (R1 million in total)
  • 4 x Audi A3’s
  • 10 x international holidays
  • Uber for a year
  • Uber Eats for a year
  • 1 million MBs of data per day, to a single customer, every day for 90 days
  • 2 million ice creams and much, much more.

The 2019 “Shake!Up Summer” commercial features renowned DJ, Prince Kaybee and a throwback to Vodacom’s beloved character, ‘Mo’ the Meerkat, to many a household name associated with Vodacom, to celebrate 25 years.

This year’s “Shake!Up Summer” campaign follows the popular and successful Shake Every Day promotion that Vodacom customers became accustomed to over the last two years.

For those that are not on SA’s Leading Network, it is never too late. Move to summer, move to Vodacom, shake and win your share of over R100 million in prizes.

Download the My Vodacom App and join in the Shake revolution or chat to TOBi on WhatsApp via 082 009 8624 [082 009 TOBi]. Alternatively dial *133# to start shaking now.

      You get 1 FREE shake every day plus the chance to earn VodaBucks to unlock even more prizes.
      You need 30 vodabucks for a Mega Shake (This entitles you to perhaps winning these prizes):
      200 x R5 000 cash prize (R1 million in total)
      4 x Audi A3’s
      10 x international holidays
      Uber for a year
      Uber Eats for a year
      1 million MBs of data per day, to a single customer, every day for 90 days
      2 million ice creams and much, much more.

      1 million MBs of data per day, to a single customer, every day for 90 days.
      I would imagine that this is data that can be used to download / Facebook / YouTube etc.
      (Who could ever use up 1 million megs in one day)?
      It would NEVER be actual cash money.

    I sometimes wish you guys gave is options on what to win course some of the things I win become complete useless to me like the tickets I don’t know how to use them and it doesn’t help the fact that I also don’t have the Vodacom app since my phone can’t download

    Reply
    • Melody Owen on 2020-01-08 09:15

      I totally agree.
      I don’t have the time in a day to use 1GB of data for Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Music etc.
      I would also prefer to choose a prize that I can actually make use of.
      The 1GB of data to use as you like is probably the best option so far.

    It’s a scam. I have since October won hundreds upon hundreds of entries into these so called draws for these fantastic prizes. However all these entries expire prior to the draw taking place????!!!!???.

    What a scam. Hoe can you win entries for a draw that will never be applicable as they expire before the draw date. What a load of hog.

    Here you go… you have women 500bentries to win an Audi A3 for the draw on 03.03.2020. However they expire on 27.02.2020…. hahahahaha there is vodacom laughing at us idots thinking we gonna win something that is impossible to win.

    Like you all say, it’s just a marketing ploy to keep the average consumer I retested in the Vodacom application or sms ploy. It distracts the consumer from identifying with other service providers. Also when do these draws happen and where. Is it ethical to have private draws happen behind the scenes and then post a bunch of names as winners . Like these people really exist or they must have really spent a lot on airtime or wasteful contracts to actually qualify for any such prizes, like we said if they exist. I figured this out the hard way. Been playing the game every day for 2 years now and never received nothing more than R70 clothing vouchers at edgars if u spend R500 or more. I received 100 entries once or twice for an Audi but like I said , it’s just an imaginary prize, how can one never win a decent prize if I played twice a day for 365 days for 2 years. That’s 1460 chances minimum which never materialized. I’d rather try my luck fishing .

    The is nothing like that….vodacom is playing us. Today I received a call from this other number and the person said I am a winner therefore I need to buy 110 airtime and then after they will send me 4000 and a phone. How can you identify a winner and then ask him to buy before winning. This whole thing is a scam. I am disappointed in Vodacom🤭😟😟😟
