Jack Applin sends this in. “Chicken tenders are food. Also, “tender” means to offer, as tender a bid. I live in Colorado, but the strip taught me that corruption in South Africa is rampant. Do the foolish Floyd & Julius think that bids for public works are for sale, instead of a fair bidding process?”

“Tender” can also mean a vessel that tends, such as a ship employed to attend other ships (as to supply provisions), a boat for communication or transportation between shore and a larger ship, or a warship that provides logistic support. It seems likely that one of these meanings is the intended one, but I expect that knowledge of South African political news is needed to confirm this.
This is the ‘tender a bid’ sense of the word, but not for government contracts, probably something like construction.
Based only on Googling, it appears likely to mean “obtaining a government contract.” There seems to be a trend called being a “tenderpreneur” where you obtain such contracts, outsource the actual work, and skim a salary. I’m willing to assume they intend to pay a bribe to get two juicy ones. It tracks.
Purely trivial and not intended as criticism: McDonald’s doesn’t actually sell chicken tenders. They famously have their Chicken McNuggets.

They’re called ‘Strips’ in the US, but ‘tenders’ elsewhere.
My mistake. I should have checked. I’m not especially familiar with the McDonald’s menu, but I am surprised. It seemed very natural that they wouldn’t start competing with their own nuggets, but maybe that’s why I’m not an executive at a major fast food corporation.
Andrew, I hope that’s not the only reason!
