When Coceka Nqatyelwa and her family attended the Kaya 959 #25OnTheAir event on Saturday, 03 September, no one believed her when she said, “I’m driving off with the car today, just wait and see.”
The Eastern Cape born mother fell to her knees when she was announced as the winner of the R750 000 Mitsubishi Triton Extreme, courtesy of Kaya 959.
Out of thousands of ticket holders, Coceka’s number was drawn after a live wheel spin selected her ticket.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw my ticket number on the screen and I ran to the stage. I have to thank my ancestors and God for this blessing.”
An emotional Coceka told Sizwe Dhlomo before she fell to her knees and cried
When asked how she knew she would win the car, Coceka told Kaya Drive presenter, Sizwe Dhlomo that she just woke up and something just “told” her that it would be her day.
“My family didn’t believe me when I said the car will be mine. They just laughed and said there’s no way. There are thousands of people entered in the draw. Now, look at me with the keys in my hands.”
It was at that moment that Coceka realised that this wasn’t a dream and when reality kicked in, she fell to her knees and prayed.
Speaking to Kaya 959 presenter Mablerh, Coceka said that she owns a Polo Vivo and worked so hard to be able to afford a car.
“Moving from the Eastern Cape to Johannesburg to find work, it’s been tough you know to build a life for my kids. But I did it and I have always prayed and I thank my ancestors and God for this blessing.
This has changed my life, it’s a beautiful sign that one must never lose faith and always believe their prayers will be answered.”
Coceka Nqatyelwa will receive a driving course from Mitsubishi which will equip her with all the tactical training so she can make the best of her new car.
Kaya 959 wishes Coceka Nqatyelwa many happy and safe kilometres ahead!
