Ecocash is running the “Chakachaya/Ziyawaya promotion for the second time this year. They have lots of prices that include cars and stands. What are the chances of winning you may ask. All we can say is a few weeks back, 54000 people won prizes worth $300000, that was just for the month of April. This Month‘s deadline is today ( 31 May 2018) at 23:59 hours. After that the draw will be conducted in Gweru on the 2nd of June.
Ecocash have also decided to be generous and are giving away a goat to one Pindiula reader as part of their sponsorship of this post.
Why goat?
On one of the social media platforms used to run the chakachaya ne Ecocash promotion one reader actually wrote
“Mbudzi in its nature is drought resistant, its not prone to diseases, its easy to maintain and it breeds fast. This animal has so many uses, as meat, source of milk, its skin as mat, its horn as nhekwe, used in traditional ceremonies, can be found all over Zimbabwe. So Econet chose mbudzi meaning that 90% of everyone living in Zimbabwe uses Econet line and Ecocash. You can transact with Ecocash wherever you are to anyone you wish to do business with”
We agree with this reader to a great extend because in our eyes, Ecocash has been more that a service to the population of Zimbabwe. To some Ecocash has been a problem solver, to some a business and source of living, to some an emergency call and to the rest of the country our currency since we are in a serious cash crunch.
Why has Ecocash become so popular over the years?
Despite the current cash out rates at the few Ecocash booths that will have actual cash, Ecocash came with the label convenience attached to it, it saved us from exorbitant bank charges, bank ques and all the unnecessary hustles we had to go through to send and receive money using the commercial banking system. Besides since a considerable number of people have Econet lines, they just accepted the services attached to the line and it became a hit in a few short years. Who doesn’t remember the “yazviita futi Ecocash Baba’’ adverts that were prominent in 2013 and 2014 always talking about the pros of Ecocash.
Ecocash came into the market at the right time. If we were a superstitious loot we would actually conclude that the Ecocash guys foresaw the cash crunch we are experiencing now back in the days they launched Ecocash. Were it not for this service we would be in a tight deadlock right now that would have frustrated many people. Bottom line is Ecocash has and still is a very viable solution to a lot of our individual liquidity problems. Like what some philosophers believe “feed the masses, eat with the classes’’ Ecocash was bound to be popular for obvious reasons.
Enter Mbudzi Promotion
According to Conrad a reader from one of the websites running the Chakachaya neEcocash Promotion, “…Econet chose mbudzi meaning that 90% of everyone living in Zimbabwe uses Econet line and Ecocash..”
What are the chances of winning you may ask, all we can say is a few weeks back, 54000 people won prices worth $300000. This Month‘s deadline is today ( 31 May 2018) at 23:59 hours.
But like we said, we are part of the promo and one of our readers will walk away with a price courtesy of Ecocash. All you need to do in the comments below is to let us know in a very creative way why you think Ecocash has become so popular over the years, and don’t forget to earn more points while at it.

Convenience I can make a payment for anything, anytime and from anywhere.

Ecocash has become popular because it addressed a need in society and it offered/offers the best service while addressing the needs. Its reliable, convenient and its ability to integrate with most if not every service sector hugely boosted its popularity. Ecocash introduced the Master card and I believe it hugely contributed to its rise in popularity as people could easily purchase things online. The swipe into ecocash functionality is also a brilliant idea that has boosted its customer base thus I can also say innovation has also contributed to its popularity. If it keeps up with its innovation and addressing needs very soon EVERYONE will be using ecocash.

One factor that paved the way for the success of Ecocash was consumers’ confidence and trust, resulting from the services offered by Econet. Econet had already created a good brand image, therefore making it easier to launch the system from their company. Offering services to more than 6 million customers and creating jobs to more people, it’s one of the most recognizable brands in Zimbabwe. Econet is responsible for more than 80% of the mobile market, placing it ahead of its rivals. On top of that, the ubiquity of mobile phones across the country, both in the urban and rural, and insufficient banking services made it possible to use Econet as a substitute for banks so as to reach the unbanked population.
Unlike other plastic transactions, ecocash is VERY ECONOMIC to use as the rates are almost nearer to figure zero.
