Alicia Keys

Frederick Moonga Chinza, from Kabwe, has won a once-in-a-lifetime trip to meet singer, songwriter and philanthrophist, Alicia Keys, in New York City, thanks to MTV Base and MTN.

Frederick, a 27 year old secondary school biology teacher, won the all-expenses-paid trip after participating in the pan-African MTV Base Meets…With MTN contest in which MTV and MTN asked young Africans to indicate what important questions they would like to ask Ms Keys.

“MTN Zambia is ecstatic that one of our loyal customers was selected among thousands of entries to win a fully paid trip to New York to meet International singing sensation, Alicia Keyes. At MTN Zambia we believe in continuously providing our customers with World Class experiences, and obviously this occasion stands out as an exceptional one” says MTN Zambia Chief Marketing Officer, Ernst Fonternel.

Frederick will travel to New York City on 10th August 2011 to meet with Alicia Keys and to participate in the final episode of the current series of MTV Base Meets…with MTN – the TV programme and youth empowerment initiative that hooks up young Africans with influential business, political and cultural leaders.

A delighted Frederick said, “This is the most exciting day of my life – I am trembling all over. It is a dream come true for me. I cannot believe I will be going to New York to meet an icon like Alicia Keys – I am a huge fan! Thanks to MTN and MTV for making this possible!”
The episode of MTV Base Meets Alicia Keys with MTN, featuring Frederick on the questioning panel, will premiere across Africa on MTV Base (DSTV channel 322) on 5 September 2011 and on terrestrial channels STV (Nigeria), Muvi TV (Zambia), Clouds TV (Tanzania), WBS (Uganda), Canal 2 (Cameroon), TV3 (Ghana) and NTV (Kenya).

  1. Well, let’s hope Mr Chinza has a passport. Hahaha! No vama travel document to go to BBA! Yaba. Good job MTN Zambia. :d:d

  2. Mudala hurry up & get that passport like # 1 has put it.Come to Madison Square,am jealous,you cant meet anyone better than Alicia.

  3. Man congrats, Alicia keys is hot. I would like to meet her too. Am jealousy man!!!! kekekeke any way congrats my friend, take as many photos as you can, you might just auction them and become a millionare too.(:)>-

  4. well done young man and well done to mtn for making people’s dreams come true i’m sure he’ll have great things to share with his class we he returns

  5. Also remember to ask her to come to ZED esp in October if she is free! She can also learn a few things. Pass through ZTB for material. yEess!!

  6. BETTER TV! WHEN YOU PAY IT WILL SHOW! OUR OWN ZNBC IS NOT EVEN AMONG THE TV STATIONS THAT WILL SHOW THIS PROGRAMME. NO WONDER LAZ IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY ZNBC IS OPERATING! BWEZANI WAMU YAYA

  7. I’ve been to Arcades, been to Manda Hill, walked cairo road, but I’ve never seen a woman in Zed this Sexxy ( with a capital S mind you).

  8. Congrats, Man. Like many have said, I envy you. Represent us (Zambia) to your best of your abilities as you interact with Alicia. As one blogger pointed out, sell Zambia to her, and to Americans through her. Make a PACT with her that she visits Zambia before the end of the year. She may be reluctant to visit Africa (Zambia) because of what happened to Cheryl Cole who caught Malaria in Tanzania, but prevail on her that Zambians will take good care of her. (There will be a stand-by aeroambulance to evacuate her to South Africa if need be!). All the best, Man…

  9. Great work! This is the kind of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on Google for now not positioning this submit upper! Come on over and discuss with my website . Thank you =)
