Kizza Rogers Joins Linglong’s Growing List of Electric Car Winners
By Kayiira Jackson
Mandela Group, in partnership with Linglong Tyres, has conducted the fifth raffle draw in its Linglong Tyres EV Promotion, with Kizza Rogers emerging as the lucky winner of a brand-new electric vehicle.
The draw was held on Wednesday at Mandela Group’s head offices on Sixth Street, Industrial Area, Kampala, with Tina Wang, Linglong Sales Executive Manager for the Middle East and Africa, serving as the guest of honour and conducting the draw.
Rogers, who purchased his Linglong tyres from the City Tyres Bombo Road branch, was selected after the first draw failed to produce a successful winner.
The first draw landed on Ssemakula, who had purchased tyres from the Namirembe Road branch. However, after attempts to reach him by telephone went unanswered, the opportunity was passed on and another draw was conducted.
Tina Wang subsequently conducted the second draw, which landed on Rogers.
Rogers will officially receive the keys to his electric vehicle on Thursday morning at the same Mandela Group premises in Industrial Area.
Speaking during the event, Wang praised Mandela Group for its partnership with Linglong and thanked Ugandan customers for supporting the tyre brand.
“We have the best partner in Africa, Mandela Group, and I thank the customers for supporting us. We at Linglong shall continue improving the quality of our products,” Wang said.
The Linglong Tyres EV Promotion gives customers who purchase Linglong tyres through City Tyres an opportunity to participate in raffle draws for electric vehicles, alongside other prizes.
The promotion has previously produced several electric-car winners. Among the early winners are; John Bosco Mugisha, the first winner, Godfrey Kyeyune, who was announced as another winner in January 2025, and Florence Nandede of Mbale, who was also among the beneficiaries of the electric-car campaign.
Meanwhile, Wang also launched the inaugural Mandela Group Linglong Dealers’ Football Tournament, aimed at bringing together external Linglong tyre dealers through sport.
The tournament was launched at the Mandela Sports Arena and is intended to become an annual event.
The inaugural edition has attracted nine teams, with participating dealers battling for trophies, medals and other prizes.
The tournament is part of efforts by Mandela Group and Linglong Tyres to strengthen relationships with their dealer network while creating opportunities for interaction beyond business.
