Businessman Malcolm Wentzel and domestic worker Sis Thembi Ubisi, popular TikTok content creators known for their entertaining skits, were at it again. After Sis Thembi sneakily test-drove the bakkie that Malcolm's company, FKN Army, was giving away, she took matters into her own hands to promote it in their new skit.

On 7 November, 2025, while driving to an unknown location, Sis Thembi looked for ways to advertise the competition where one lucky person could win the roughly R1 million Toyota Hilux GR Sport. She also refers to the bakkie as a black mamba. The competition, with an entry fee of R300, closes on 14 December, 2025, and the winner will be announced on 15 December, 2025.

While Malcolm stopped to get snacks at the garage, Sis Thembi supposedly worked her magic and made a phone call to secure a billboard advertising the giveaway.

When Malcolm got back from the shop and into their vehicle, the pair were back on the road when they saw a billboard with their faces on it. The massive sign also read:

"We don't buy cars, we give them away."

Sis Thembi said to her employer:

"I told you I was busy with marketing, and you thought I was joking?"

At first, Malcolm wasn't too pleased and thought the billboard would get them in trouble. However, after parking his car and having a better view, the entrepreneur said to Sis Thembi:

"Out of all the things in life you have done, this is brilliant!"
