Wimpy’s South African Rhino-Tigers and the Meaning of ‘Just Now’

Iconic restaurant brand launches Two Tiger Deals – R19.90 value meals with an ode to Mzansi jargon

Wimpy, one of South Africa’s most beloved restaurant brands, is serving up something extra lekker with the launch of its proudly local Two Tiger Deals. For just R19.90 – affectionately dubbed “two tiger” in South African slang – customers can enjoy a tasty variety of feel-good menu items, from half waffles with ice cream to filter coffee, soda floats, milkshakes, and more.

But it’s not just about the food. This new campaign is steeped in Mzansi flavour, culture, and humour – tapping into everyday South African expressions that make our country so unique.

To celebrate the launch, Wimpy teamed up with viral sensations Judy and Addi of Logan Fam fame. Known for their hilarious takes on South Africa’s diverse cultures and quirks, the couple stars in a new video filmed at the Mall of Africa, diving into everything from the eternal “chips vs fries” debate to the all-too-familiar confusion around the phrase “just now.”

“At its heart, the Two Tiger Deals campaign is a love letter to South African charm – our sayings, the family moments, the shared meals, and the way we turn something as simple as R19.90 into an experience worth remembering, at a place where everyone’s welcome.”

Cathy Qama, Wimpy’s Marketing Manager, says:

The video captures the essence of Wimpy’s campaign: laughter, connection, and proudly South African moments shared around the table. From “serviette vs napkin” to trying (and failing) to pronounce “tomato sauce” in a Joburg accent, it’s a celebration of our colourful lingo and the joy of being together.

So whether you’re craving a sweet treat or a quick pick-me-up, R19.90 – or two tiger – goes a long way at Wimpy. And maybe, just now, you’ll find yourself there, ordering with a smile.

Watch the video and join the conversation. Because nothing says Mzansi quite like a deal that comes with a story.
