and clothes.

One of the guests, Ms Margaret Ngoma from Zambia told BOPA that before introduction of Western Union, she used to travel home to pay her children’s school fees and give her mother some money, adding that things have been made easier as she can now go to the post office and transfer money.

Ms Ngoma said the event also afforded her an opportunity to interact with fellow Zambians.
Ms Tonoto Chireye from Omaweneno in the Kgalagadi District said she was also happy about the services from Western Union.
She said through Western Union she can now transfer money to wherever she wants, even to her grandmother in Namibia. BOPA
