What began as a simple favour of borrowing a sibling’s car to run errands has turned into a life-changing moment for 34-year-old Koketso Motshegwe of Mochudi.

With just a P300 fuel purchase at a Shell service station in Pilane, Motshegwe unknowingly set in motion a journey that ended with him driving away in a brand-new Toyota GD6, the grand prize of Shell Botswana’s 19-week Bozza Tsa Tsela promotion.

The campaign concluded on Saturday morning at the Shell Mmamashia Service Station, bringing to a close nearly five months of excitement that saw customers rewarded with cash, fuel vouchers, Volkswagen Polo Vivo vehicles, and the coveted GD6. Motshegwe, who does not own a car and relies on borrowed vehicles and public transport, said the win came as a complete shock. “I was just helping my sibling by using their car that day. I only bought fuel worth P300. I never thought something like this could happen to me,” he said.
