The Streets Got the Scoop First

Before the press release.
Before the media briefing.
Before the agency decks.

There was @Marambu on TikTok.

A KFC employee accidentally revealed the brand’s upcoming ?5+5 Tuesday promo online, instantly triggering national chaos among hungry South Africans.

The now-viral TikTok can be viewed here: https://www.tiktok.com/@marambu53/video/7643886037370080530

KFC’s response?

The internet has since declared the employee:

  • “Minister of Information”
  • “The Plug”
  • “Employee of the Month AND a promotion to Head of National Announcements”

At this point, South Africans trust TikTok cashiers more than official announcements.

Hulking, Resilient Giant

As of 2026, the Carlton Centre remains caught in a tug-of-war between its past glory and its future potential. There are ongoing discussions about converting portions of the massive office tower into affordable residential housing—a move that would reflect the broader “residentialization” of the inner city. It stands today not just as a skyscraper, but as a barometer for Johannesburg itself: a hulking, resilient giant that has survived economic crashes, political revolutions, and urban neglect, yet still offers the best view of where the city is going.
