Karel and his car welcomed by the community and family

"I felt welcomed by everyone, and I was immensely happy that my parents and family members supported me with their prayers throughout the competition and journey to Windhoek," shared Kandjimi. His journey is one of gratitude, opportunity, and the power of community support. Karel Kandjimi took a leap forward when he emerged as the fortunate winner of a brand new Polo Vivo through Letshego Namibia's 'Transact and Win' campaign.

The news of his triumph spread rapidly throughout his community in Rundu, where he was welcomed with jubilation and celebrations. Even his learners joined in the excitement, offering warm congratulations on his remarkable achievement.

Now, three months into being the proud owner of a Polo Vivo, Kandjimi reflects on the profound impact the victory has had on his life. "Letshego has significantly improved my life as it is now much easier for me to get around without worrying about hefty transportation costs," he shares. The car has provided him with newfound freedom and allowed him to assist his father, whose health issues and age made operating his current vehicle challenging. "This will earn my dad more days," Kandjimi remarked, highlighting the comfort and opportunities the win has brought to his family. Moreover, his family members are thrilled at the chance to learn how to drive, further enhancing their quality of life.

The win has shifted Kandjimi's perspective on life. He now sees life as an opportunity not just to receive but also to give back to others. Inspired by Letshego's generosity, he is committed to extending the blessings he has received to his loved ones and community.

Karel Kaliki Kandjimi is a dedicated teacher at Tondoro Junior Pre-Primary School in Rundu who emerged as the overall winner of the "Transact and Win" campaign car draw. The event, held in Windhoek on November 13, 2023, featured three finalists eagerly drawing individual keys. Kandjimi, selected as the second finalist, successfully unlocked a brand-new Volkswagen Polo Vivo valued at N$250,000.
