Supporters enjoy Vodacom VIP experience

Vodacom and Kaizer Chiefs rewarded six of their subscribers with the ultimate VIP experience at Saturday’s Soweto Derby as they enjoyed a luxury trip that made sure they were #DerbyReady for one of the biggest matches in African football.

The six subscribers and their partners won a VodacomSoccer competition, where they had to share on Twitter their videos or photographs showing exactly how they get #DerbyReady. They were joined by two supporters and their partners, who entered the competition via the Kaizer Chiefs SMS line.

The winners were then treated to an all-expenses paid Vodacom VIP Experience that included flights and transport, accommodation at the Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel and a tour of the Kaizer Chiefs Village, hosted by Amakhosi’s former defender Nhlanhla Kubeka.

Vodacom also ensured that the winners were able to soak up the atmosphere with a walk on the pitch before kick-off and then watched the game in the Vodacom VIP Suite at FNB Stadium. They ended a memorable day with an exclusive dinner at Gold Reef City.

Jabulile Hlatshwayo, a staunch Kaizer Chiefs supporter from Cape Town sent 205 SMS’s after learning about the competition via the Kaizer Chiefs twitter platform. “I really wanted to win this experience, so I could watch the Derby live at the stadium,” said Hlatshwayo.

This was her second Derby experience, but it was Hlatshwayo’s first in a VIP suite with a Kaizer Chiefs legend. She was joined by her partner Paul Ashley, who enjoyed every moment of the VIP experience.
“My boyfriend and I love Kaizer Chiefs. We always watch games in Cape Town, but don’t get to see the Derby there. Watching the game was a dream come true.”

The festivities on the day also included the #DerbyReady Zone outside the stadium, which set the tone for the match as fans enjoyed the music, a PlayStation gaming experience, and a myriad of other games such as foosball and various fun challenges where they could win Vodacom Smartphones, headphones, portable speakers and Vodacom airtime vouchers. And they could record all of their amazing experiences with an instant photo at the Instamax photo booth.

“I like to give thanks to Vodacom and Kaizer Chiefs for this wonderful experience and look forward to the upcoming competitions, as they are all so exciting,” Hlatshwayo concluded.

Vilakazi: It’s Been A While Since Sundowns Tasted Glory

Mamelodi Sundowns’ Sibusiso Vilakazi says that is has been a while since the Brazilians tasted glory but they will try their best to go all out and claim the Telkom Knockout Cup this season. Sundowns will lock horns with Chippa United later this month, October, in the round of 16 of the Telkom Knockout competition, with Head Coach Pitso Mosimane’s side keen to retain the trophy which they last won in 2015. Speaking after the TKO draw took place, Vilakazi revealed that after Sundowns failed to progress further than the quarter-final stages of the MTN8 competition, the Telkom Knockout will be an opportunity for the Chloorkop-based club to dust themselves off. “It’s been a while since we tasted glory, in the form of a trophy on the domestic league. We will try by all means to get this one for the team, for ourselves and for the supporters. But with that said, we aren’t looking forward too much. We will take it one game at a time. First, there is Chip...

We’re Going There For A Win

This week, we hear from Supporters Club Committee Member Masilo Machaka on the TKO last 16 results, as well as the upcoming quarter-final round. On the Telkom Knockout Last 16 results Firstly, I’ll start off with the encounter between Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu. I think the Chiefs players played their hearts out, they showed character on the day and there was unity amongst them. They played for the badge of Kaizer Chiefs and I commend them for that. What really caught me by surprise though was the game between Chippa United and Mamelodi Sundowns. Who would have thought that Sundowns would be knocked out of the tournament in the early stages? I don’t know how their supporters are feeling after the performances of their beloved team over the past few weeks and I’m sure they are asking themselves, ‘What’s next?’ They are out of the Telkom Knockout, but that’s football. Football is unpredictable – you win some and you lose some. Ha...
