Tamamah added that this is the first time in her life that she has won such a big prize. "Actually, I am not really interested in the match itself but I have always wished to attend one of the carnival-like and fun-filled inauguration and closing ceremonies of the World Cup. I am immensely pleased to have the chance to visit South Africa with my husband who is fond of watching soccer matches in general and the World Cup matches in particular" she said.
Tamamah indicated that it is not unusual for NBK, with its unyielding and multi-faceted social responsibility approach, to support, foster and promote sporting spirit amongst ordinary citizens". I feel that I am really lucky to win this big prize but moreover I am luckier to be an NBK customer".
