Sugar King, the leading sugar brand of Namib Mills, last year partnered with Luis Munana’s Waka Waka Moo, Namibia’s first-ever children’s educational puppet and animated television programme, and launched an upliftment and empowering promotion nationwide where we want to reach out to schools and learners.

We want to give every school and learner across Namibia the opportunity to elevate their school and uplift themselves, as education is the key to success and the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.

Therefore, we would like to encourage learners and schools to partake in this promotion,

All you need to do is:

· Buy any Sugar King white or dry brown sugar nationwide at any outlet to stand a chance to win cash for yourself or for your school;

· To enter, simply SMS ‘Sugar King and School Name’ to 24442;

As part of our corporate social responsibility, we want to invest in education, learners and schools and encourage them to partake in this promotion, as one of our key focus areas is nutrition education. For Namib Mills, it is not only about being a socially responsible corporate citizen, delivering good services to consumers and customers, as well as great quality products, but we also feed the mind, body and soul by living in accordance with our brand promise of ‘Feeding the Nation’.

Waka Waka Moo is a series for children aged between four and 12 years old. The show entertains while educating children on topics which touch on a variety of subjects such as mathematics, science, history, safety tips and Namibian folklore stories.

The show is based on imaginary characters called the ‘Waka Waka Moo’, who live in the land of the Waka.

Each Waka Moo character speaks a different local Namibian language.

The show features local Namibian personalities in radio, television, fashion and other sectors, who visit the Wakas to teach children lessons by singing the alphabet, dialoguing and doing a unique song matching a scenario.

Waka Waka Moo is both entertaining and educational, because it focuses on displaying different cultures, traditions, spelling, basic math and other genres in the form of song, dance and storytelling, presented with hand puppets and in animated cartoon form.

Sugar King’s brand promise is to provide every Namibian with a sweet, energetic experience, and we believe that with this promise we are not only empowering a young Namibian entrepreneur, but it allows an opportunity to teach our Namibian youth about our countries beautiful heritage, while educating them with this unique proudly Namibian programme.
