Xolisile Guquza, a man accused of fraud, appeared in the Specialised Commercial Crime Court on last Wednesday. Xolisile donned a smart outfit for his big day, sporting a blue suit and a pink shirt.

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.

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.

Nando’s Does Not Want To Advertise On DStv

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.

Khoisan Propose New Name For Cape Town – Nando’s Jumps On Board

BREAKING: TopTV To Flight Banned Nando’s Advert

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.

EXCLUSIVE: Yesterday’s Nando’s Advert

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.

Nando’s Predicts Julius Malema’s Fate Three Months Before The Fact

Last night saw the expulsion of Julius Malema, along with some of his brothers-in-arms, from the ANC. Now might be a good time to sit back and reflect on this prophetic Nando’s poster, released in November last year, that now rings truer than ever. The headline reads: “Juju, you’ve been served.” While the body copy […]

Schools Set To Axe Zulu And Xhosa – Nandos Strikes Back

You may have heard recently that former Model C schools – with English as the medium of instruction – may be scrapping African languages. Naturally, Nandos had something to say about this malarky.

Anything Goes In The Parallel Universe Of The Mill Street Engen

Regular readers and longtime citizens of Cape Town will be familiar with the Mill Street Engen garage, AKA “Club Orange”. A reader sent this photograph in this morning.

Nando’s Releases ‘Last Dictator’ Commercial, Feat. Mugabe, Gaddafi And Hussein

I was a big fan of the Vodacom ad some time ago, which featured the African-dictator-type character, laughing as he abuses his power, repeatedly delivering the catchphrase “We’ve been having it!” The central idea of Nando’s festive season campaign follows that trend and revolves around a Robert Mugabe lookalike, as he reminisces about the good […]
