What a prize! A family visit to an idyllic island. This is what happened to the winner of the WIN BIG with Senwes Equipment competition during the 2016/2017 holiday time, Charl Fourie and his wife Raisa and their twins, Daniel and Lilene. The picturesque Mauritius with sun and sea is something of which most people can only dream.
Charl won the prize after having gone flat-out with e-mail entries, thereby increasing his chances of winning the prize. And it worked! His name was the lucky one to be drawn from a massive number of 12 738 entries.
Charl and Raisa say that the holiday was like a second honeymoon. They got married on 3 December 2010 and celebrated their sixth anniversary at the end of 2016. The only difference was that their family was now bigger with the twins, who were born on 12 August 2015 and who are almost a year and a half.
They had a lovely holiday and the swim, eat and sleep routine worked out well with the children. However, they confessed that it was their second Mauritius holiday, after they visited Mauritius in 2015 as well.
More information about Charl is that the Pretoria-born man farms between Bothaville and Hoopstad with his brother Johnny and father Anton. He lives on the farm Lambrechtsfontein, approximately 35km from the maize capital, Bothaville, on the Hoopstad road and he farms on the farm Hendrik Theron.
Managing Executive of Senwes Equipment, Ferdie Pieterse, said that it was nice that Charl, a producer like the other two winners, won the prize.
One thing is for sure, Charl and a number of other clients will not forget the name Senwes Equipment after all their e-mails! Exactly what Charl said when the prize was handed over to him by Ferdie Pieterse (Managing Executive Senwes Equipment) and Jacques Stander (Senwes Marketing Manager) at the end of 2016.
