To be eligible, the customers will be expected to produce a purchase receipt.<\/p>\n<p>Powertex Chief Executive Officer, Itayi Chidzero, said they decided to run the promotion to give back to their customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree lucky winners will receive fuel cards loaded with 100 litres of fuel. Each winner will however, be entitled to redeem 20 litres of fuel a month from June to November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll we are asking for is a receipt which we gave them when they bought a battery. The promotion is open to everyone who bought batteries from us. In case they lost the receipt, they can bring the battery and we will check the serial number if it is from Powertex so that they should qualify to enter the draw,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Chidzero said the promotion is being run at Powertex outlets situated at Lilongwe City Centre, in Blantyre along Haile Sellaise Road and in Limbe along Churchill Road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur customers appreciate that our products are durable.
