Let's go braai some meat at that Shisa Nyama.

Tender Prophet
A Tender Prophet is a name given to a tenderpreneur who can prophecy that s/he will be awarded a tender before it is officially awarded. This name has been used to describe Cat Matlala who rented a clinic on South African Police Service (SAPS) property six months before he scored a tainted R360 million police health services tender.
He rented the property before he was given the tender. Surely he is a prophet. He is a tender prophet.
