Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – 25 Sept – Bolt Tanzania is proud to announce a new discount code, SIMBU, in celebration of Alphonce Felix Simbu, who made history as Tanzania’s first gold medalist at the World Athletics Championships.
Simbu’s remarkable achievement has placed Tanzania firmly on the global athletics map, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with powerhouses such as Kenya. His triumph is not only a personal victory but also a national symbol of excellence and possibility.
“This year we committed to trying again, and it turned out to be a huge success. I was amazed because we competed against Kenyans, Ethiopians, and even they could not believe a Tanzanian had won.” Felix Simbu told reporters during his airport arrival in Dar es Salaam yesterday September 23rd.
His win sends a powerful message to young Tanzanians that with discipline and persistence, more gold medalists can and will emerge from the country’s soil.
“Talent deserves recognition, and as Bolt, we see Simbu’s win as more than a medal. It is proof that Tanzania’s youth can rise to the world stage and shine,” said Dimmy Kanyankole, General Manager of Bolt Tanzania & Kenya. “Just as Simbu pursues excellence and arrives first with speed and precision, Bolt is committed to helping Tanzanians move efficiently, affordably, and on time every day.”
According to the Country Public Relations Manager Gilbert Ginono, Bolt raised the special discount code as a way of locally amplifying Simbu’s brand for the historic win that he brings home. Every ride booked using the code celebrates not only a proud national moment but also Bolt’s investment in recognizing and uplifting Tanzanian talent.
Through this initiative, Bolt continues to champion efficiency, opportunity, and celebration of excellence—values embodied by Simbu’s golden run.
