Uganda’s dance hall diva Sheebah Karungi on Tuesday left revelers at the Uganda Breweries Limited (UBL) headquarters roof top asking for more as she performed her hits like Nkwatako, Kisasi kimu, and Wadawa among others that made the crowd dance their bones out. This was at the launch of the biggest ever under the crown consumer promotion to-date, “Tubbaale”. The SMS based promotion will feature three of UBL’s renowned beer brands; Bell Lager, Tusker Malt Lager and Guinness.
Tubbaale, which will run for the months of August and September, will see customers across the country being rewarded for drinking their favorite beer.
Announcing the promotion, UBL’s Managing Director, Mark Ocitti Ongom said, “UBL has staked the biggest prizes in the history of beer promotions. The prizes are in two categories; instant prizes like airtime and giveaways to be won in the bars; and redeemable prizes of up to 3 billion shillings which will include plots of land in Kampala, vans, motor bikes, flat screen TVs and so much more.”
Bottle tops of all the three participating brands will carry a code under the crown for the duration of the promotion. “It’s pretty simple; when you buy a Bell, Tusker Malt Lager or Guinness, check under the crown for the code. SMS the code to 6050 and you stand a chance to win,” he added.
Ocitti also mentioned that the Tubbaale promotion was part of 70 year anniversary celebrations. He said the company is happy to be able to give back to their customers and thank them for supporting the business through the years.
“70 years is a huge milestone for us. As one of Uganda’s oldest and most celebrated companies, we are using this anniversary to spread cheer. We invite you all to celebrate with us,” he said.
On the same event was the bootylicious Winnie Nwangi who wiggled her waist and hips for the fans. The party ended at around 9pm as some of the guests went home with prizes to their names.
