Tuesday has never been better to Kenyan after it emerged that giant telecommunication company Safaricom had a glitch in the system that was awarding surplus bonga points to its subscribers.
However, Safaricom has been informed of the technicality and they have been quick enough to halt the bonga point service, now when you dial the *126* all you get is a pop message telling you the system is under maintenance.
Here are some of the messages from Kenyans who benefited from the challenge.
