CTM Sparks New Era at Electric 947 Show – With a Nod to Bob & Nige
Presented by 947, the sold-out event brought together the station's most popular hosts – Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy Poluta – along with show-stopping performances by Matthew Mole, Nasty C, Boity Thulo, Will Linley, Chrizz Beatz, and Anaya Sounds. The crowd described the atmosphere as 'electric,' with high energy, spontaneous moments, and surprises around every corner.
One such surprise came from none other than CTM, one of South Africa's most loved home improvement brands. In a nostalgic twist that delighted the audience, Nige – the familiar face from CTM's iconic Bob & Nige commercials of the late '90s and early 2000s – made a special appearance. Actor Peter Terry returned to the stage to honour the legacy, bridging the gap between past and present.
But this was more than a trip down memory lane — it marked the official launch of CTM's bold new brand campaign, introducing three fresh characters:
Carla , the go-to for More Style,
, the go-to for More Style, Tito , the savvy symbol of Big Savings,

Together, they form the CTM Home-Makers – your partners in all things Style, Value, and DIY. Whether you're planning a full home makeover or simply refreshing your space with stunning tiles, their message is clear: CTM has everything you need, at the right price, with standout style.
And right now, there's even more reason to visit your nearest store – CTM's Tile Sale is on, but only until 17 August 2025. It's your chance to take home premium style and value at prices you won't want to miss.
Launched on stage at this high-energy 947 event, the campaign represents a bold evolution of CTM's brand. It blends the humour and heart of the Bob & Nige era with a vibrant, modern spirit that connects with today's customer – someone looking for more than just a store, but a trusted home partner.
It's not just a new campaign – it's a new chapter for CTM, where heritage meets now, and where Big Savings, More Style, comes to life like never before.

Shock as SA couple 'charge' guests up to R65k to attend wedding
TikTok content creators Tisha and Thabang Mokoena have pranked South Africans into believing their outrageous wedding demand in a post that has gone viral. The couple, who married in 2023, spoofed the country by inviting wedding guests to spend thousands of rands to attend their special day. On the X app, a screenshot of a TikTok prank by the couple quickly went viral. In it, Tisha and Thabiso Mokoena demanded that guests choose a wedding package to attend their special day. The price guide contained three categories for table reservations: Bronze for R20 000, which included a bar tab of R5000, a meal platter, and an Instagram tag by the couple Silver for R30 000, which included first row seating, a bar tab worth R7 500, and a 'VIP pictures' with the couple. Gold for R65 000, which featured a 'VVIP access to pre-wedding activities', a speech, and a bar tab at over R10 000. The X post – viewed almost a million times – had many South Africans gawking at the audacity of the couple. However, it was all for laughs as the TikTokers have been known to post comedic posts about love, marriage, and relationships. One South African who hopped on the gag was media personality Anele Mdoda, who is planning her white wedding. The 947 presenter reposted the invitation, telling her followers: 'Tickets are selling out fast for our wedding. Early bird tickets are done'. In April, Anele announced her engagement to partner, Bulelela 'Buzza' James, with a traditional lobola celebration. They are expected to host a grand wedding celebration in the coming months.
