What better way to describe the prizes offered by Boxer Superstores in their national ‘Win a bakkie Stokvel competition’ which ran from November to mid December last year.
Boxer Kokstad was the scene of a gathering where people were singing and dancing – and it certainly wasn’t in protest but to celebrate their massive win of a brand new – out of the box Toyota Hilux bakkie, valued at R150 000.00 as well as R30 000.00 (Thirty thousand rands) worth of stock.
This national competition was divided into six regions with the Kokstad branch falling into the Eastern Cape region. Six lucky draws took place and it was the Dumsi Stokvel from Bizana that won the main prize in this region.
After the handing over of the prize in Durban, delighted
members of the Dumsi Stokvel met again at the Kokstad branch to take possession of the vehicle and they once again could not contain their pleasure and broke into sporadic song and dance both inside and outside the store before returning to their rural homesteads near Bizana.
THREE staff members of Boxer Superstores in Mt Ayliff, were among the ten people who died in a horrific head-on collision, which occurred on the N2 between Mt Frere and Mt Ayliff, recently. They were also part of the Boxer Superstores Football Club that was on its way from Tsolo, where they were playing a friendly game.
BOXER Superstores has allocated R1, 2 million towards a food relief programme in acknowledgement of the support that it receives from the community. Every month, Boxer stages a trolley dash at which customers get to shop for whatever they want, for three minutes. This effort is part of Boxer’s 33rd birthday which started in July and will continue until the end of August 2009.
Boxer Superstores and W&R SETA have, for the last 8 years, been in partnership providing further education and training to unemployed individuals, as well as employees from Boxer Superstores.
IN celebrating its 31st birthday, the Boxer Superstores group has initiated another community endeavour in which over R1 million in food is being given back to winning consumers and non-profit organisations.
