Nando’s is on top when it comes to advertising, their adverts are always a little tongue and cheek and sometimes down right to the point, this time they mix things up.
In light of the racial tension that followed after the Spur incident, Nando’s have released an advert all about ‘mixing’ things up. They are opening the racial conversation by getting people talking.
There have been fake Nando’s ad’s in the form of posters circulating social media since the Spur incident but they are in no way associated with the chain, some bored chop made them at home. So here is the real deal advert.
At first you watch it and think, “hang on, this is super racist!” but as always Nando’s gets the laugh in the end! They have cleverly found a way to get everyone talking.
Whether you’re a Xoliswa van der Merwe or a Susan Dlamini, South Africans like to #MixItUp. https://t.co/62JEc0Z61s pic.twitter.com/FCqDVX2003

Social media has been ablaze with responses to the advert, everyone had a ‘what am I watching’ or ‘have they lost their mind’ moment before reaching the end of the video.
When HER boyfriend sat down, I thought, wait, where is this going to go? Brilliant. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
