One of the main reasons that have seen Safaricom remain a leader in Kenya's Telecommunications Industry is its use of robust promotions, which seem to be broadly categorized in two categories; 'Shinda mamili', where customers win various prices with a jackpot of Cash money and 'Shinda nyumba' where apart from various prices, the jackpot is winning a house.
That is why just weeks after the end of Shinda Mamili Na Tunukiwa Promotion, Safaricom have launched another promotion; 'Maisha Ni M-PESA TU Campaign'.

As a participant of this campaign you can win in two ways, either through surprise rewards including cash prizes airtime or data, or through daily or weekly draws as indicated below:
For the surprise rewards, M-pesa gives you a weekly target, and once you reach this target you will receive an SMS telling you t dial *444*0# to redeem your surprise reward.
Please note that this campaign will run for a period of 70 days, starting from June 18 to august 20 2018. Whether safaricom will extend this period or not, is not a matter of concern right now.
My parting word?
From the way this campaign has been structured, it is clear that safaricom intends to reward it's customers for carrying out mpeasa transactions that directly benefit safaricom and not other companies, a move which might not go down well for Airtel Money and Telkom Kenya's T-Kash.
Its timing is also critical, and while the others are making loud noises about 'mambo ni nyweee' Safaricom is reminding you that you can win when you stick with them.
The other two might just have to sit and watch or try to come up with there own promotions to counter this.
