Safaricom brings joy to Machakos residents with Sambaza Furaha caravan

The Safaricom Sambaza Furaha caravan traversed Machakos County for the second day as the giant mobile service provider continued celebrating December festivities with its customers.

The caravan snaked through Machakos, Kathiani, Tala, and Kamulu areas, giving residents a chance to interact with their favorite presenters from Musyi FM and Radio Citizen and benefit from the gifts.

The caravan was well received in Machakos town as the team camped in the Lower Eastern region.

Musicians from the Ukambani region entertained residents, who were later sensitized on Safaricom's services, including voice and data offers, and educated on how to detect fraud.

"Watu wanatapeliwa wakisema wao ni wa Safaricom… we are creating that awareness," Eunice Kanini, Safaricom's Territory Business Lead, Machakos, said.

Residents also received goodies, including goats, chickens, food hampers, and airtime.

"Nimezawadika kwa kuku, hongera kwa Safaricom." Phoebe Muli, a Machakos resident, said.

"Nimekutana na watu wa Safaricom nikashinda mbuzi, nimeshukuru," Billy Mwangani, another resident, said.

The caravan later toured Kathiani, Tala, and Kamulu areas.

"I want to thank all of you for getting us to 34 million customers. We want to do a lot more. To the merchants and customers, there is e-commerce going on," Esther Waititu, Chief Financial Officer, Safaricom, said.

Safaricom also launched outlets in Machakos and Kathiani towns as part of the company's effort to bring services closer to the people.

"It's all about celebrating 24 years of service to Kenyans... they should expect a lot of prizes. We are celebrating as a partnership between Royal Media... tukisema asante na telling people Merry Christmas," Fred Afune, Director of ICT at Royal Media Services (RMS) said.
