The lucky winner for the voter's competition was Sabelo Nkwinika from Nkomazi in Mpumalanga, who had voted for Ligwalagwala FM. In his radio interview on Ligwalagwala FM's afternoon drive show, Asambe Drive Show with Fortune and Buhle, Sabelo shared that he would get to the office and start with the voting; and before he slept, he would continue until he passed out. Sabelo says he may have sent anything between 1500 and 2000 SMS' for the competition. Upon receipt of a call from the CEO of Liberty Radio Awards on Friday afternoon, 5 April, Sabelo says he just knew that that prize money was his.
