Kampala — KAMPALA businessman Grace Mwanje is the first winner of a free ticket to the soccer World Cup in the ongoing MTN fever 2010 promotion.

The once-in-a-lifetime trip, will enable Mwanje to watch football's biggest event to be held in South Africa next year. "I cant even express how I feelm" Mwanje said on Friday.

"MTN has given me this great opportunity and I will take it with both hands. The 33-year-old Mwanje, whom is a father of two, says he sent over 400 test messages to MTN and didn't even think about the outcome.

"I just sent messages and did not know I could win until they called me" he says. Asked which matches he will pick to watch, the resident Namasuba on Entebbe road, singled out either Brazil, Spain and England fixtures.

But he did not rule out any other games. "I like Brazil, Spain and England but any other matches would do"

Over the next 12 months, winners will get tickets. The winners will also be entitled to fully paid accommodation, meals and internal travel while in South Africa, the first country on the continent to host the World Cup.
