Do you live in South Africa? Do you have a baby with a v-name who was (or will be) born between December 25, 2024, and January 1, 2025 (inclusive)?
If so, you may want to get in touch with Vodacom. For a limited time, the South African mobile communications company is giving away thousands of rand to parents whose newborns have v-names.
Just send your information — full name, province, baby’s birth date, and baby’s v-name — to the company via WhatsApp by January 1.
All who qualify will receive at least R15,000 (about $814 U.S.); parents who happen to be Vodacom customers will receive R25,000 (about $1,357 U.S.).
Though any v-name is acceptable, Vodacom did offer the following list of suggestions:
- Vuyisile
- Vuyani
- Vumani
- Vuyelwa
- Vaughn
- Vincent
- Virgil
- Veronica
- Valeria
