FIFA 2010 WORLD CUP SEASON IS HERE!

On the wave of the recently announced Coca-Cola promotion, Nairobi Bottlers Ltd engaged their staff and delighted them with a lucky draw for a pair of all-expenses-paid trips to the 2010 FIFA world Cup this morning at the Bottling plant in Embakasi. Josphat Ijegi Mavunde, a hardworking Production Line Electronic Bottle inspector and soccer fan who had just finished the night shift, won the coveted prize.
Nairobi Bottlers Ltd is kicking off the 2010 World Cup Football Season with their consumers at a Family football funfair at Nyayo Stadium this Saturday 27 March 2010 that will be the passport to South Africa for 10 lucky winners.

The odds are very good for fans who will attend the event. To win they simply have to be there; Its an event to enjoy with friends and family with performances by Jua Cali, Nonini, Daddy Owen, Mejja, Ala Hola, Jimw@t, Cutta C, Kendi, Linet, Raudy and the MOB DJs.
