Nando’s remains very popular around the world, but a new study paints a less-than-pretty picture of the peri-peri chicken giants.
Yesterday, everyone was having a good chuckle at Nando’s and their #YouPeople advert. Then Chicken Licken and Big John entered the fray.
‘You know what the thing about you people is’ is one of those phrases that fills South Africans with dread. Nando’s decided to have a little fun with it.
Absa are already feeling the burn from the backlash to their latest rebrand, and now Nando’s have added further fuel to the fire.
With their latest round of ‘Western with a South African twist’ adverts, Chicken Licken have laid down the challenge. So, who rules the roost?
Everyone’s always raving about Nando’s and their politically savvy marketing, but let’s not forget about Chicken Licken and the stories they tell.
There are a few things around these parts that could do with a little tidying up, but Nando’s reckons that with a little hard work we can turn things around.
Nando’s has long been a fan of South African street art, so much so that they got King ADZ to create a doccie on the subject. You won’t be disappointed.
In an effort to keep their product proudly South African all the way, these peeps insist they only use local goodies. Sounds tasty.
It’s always rough when you get booted from the top of the pile, although Nando’s probably wouldn’t have seen these guys as much of a threat.
You would never think that the UK’s first time daters are lapping up one of SA’s finest exports.
Yoh, but people can get their knickers in a knot quickly these days – and all over a seemingly innocent comment from a multi-national company.
That day Mugabe fell. Haha. That is all. The memes have been phenomenal. Whilst Bob’s officials scrambled to delete all images, some clever kids got their creativity flowing.
Nando’s is known for their incredibly funny, quick-witted advertising, so it’s quite surprising that they would go ahead and do this. Someone has a lot to answer for…
Nandos have nailed it, once again by channeling the age old philosophy that you ought to at least buy someone dinner before you screw them. This ad was in most of Johannesburg’s daily papers this morning. [Pic : Twitter]
What does Beyonce do after headlining V Festival? Go to Nando’s obviously. Go to Nando’s and order 48 chickens – of course. It wasn’t all for her if you were wondering, no, this was not an epic case of the munchies, although that would have been terrific.
The blood has barely dried on the floor, and already Nandos is ripping the Lance Armstrong/Oprah Winfrey interview a new one
South Africa’s most, err, stared-at-with-a-raised-eyebrow celebrity Nonhle Thema co-stars in the latest Nando’s TV commercial; the chicken takes the leading role, of course.
Unlike McIntosh Polela’s jokes, Nando’s flamed-grilled Peri-Peri chicken is always tasteful.
Last month we shared with you the first video in the Nando’s “25 Reasons Why South Africa Is Awesome” campaign. It was dedicated to South Africa’s car guards. Their new advert, however, is even more endearing: it celebrates all those people temporarily turning into Zula warriors when they hear Mandoza’s “Nkalakatha”.
To celebrate their 25th birthday, Nando’s is asking South Africans to give them 25 reasons why South Africa is awesome. To kick things off they have made this hilarious advert, dedicated to the country’s car guards.
There is a good chance that you may not be aware that “Coca Tea” has been for sale in Limpopo, and Jozi. Nando’s knows, but it doesn’t approve.
The last time we discussed Nando’s Souperstars on 2oceansVibe, the campaign had only just begun. Since then, more than 800 South Africans have signed up to join the cause!
As we all take time out to honour a man who is surely one of the most inspiring leaders the world has ever known, Nando’s shares their appreciation of Madiba.
DStv has recently graciously lifted its self-imposed suspension of Nando’s “Diversity” anti-xenophobia ad. But it seems this incredibly generous move by DStv has gone unappreciated by Nando’s. The restaurant-chain says it won’t be spending any money to have that advert flighted on DStv.
After Nando’s brought to everyone’s attention that the Khoisan are the only true inhabitants of South Africa, this seems appropriate. The suggestion of a new name for Cape Town comes after the memorial service of Khoisan traditional leader, Dawid Kruiper, who passed away earlier this month.
Not one of South Africa’s TV channels have had the balls to show the new Nando’s TV advert. So TopTV has decided to step up and teach the rest a lesson in freedom of speech. They say it should be up to the public to choose whether or not they want to watch it.
Yesterday, Nando’s made a decision to hit back at our nation’s broadcasters. They published a summary of their pro-diversity advert in the Sunday papers in response to the SABC, DSTV, M-Net and e.tv banning the advert.
They say: “They’ve made the decision for you. Unlike our broadcasters, we’re giving you the right to choose.”
That’s how we feel too, because nobody should treat you like a child.

It’s been a few months since Nando’s has graced us with one of their viral hits, but the long wait is over. Hot off of the video presses, their latest offering is a cunning spoof of an all too familiar ad. Click through for the video.
The above is in reference to Helen Zille’s recent “refugee” Twitter snafu. Keep up the fine work, ladies and gents.
