Looks like Nando’s decided to pull their Last Dictator Standing Advert because Robert Mugabe’s supporter have been threatening Nando’s Zimbabwe employees.
Very unlike Nando’s, I have to say. Very suprising since the advert has apparently received a bit of international attention online. And not only from Mugabe’s supporters.
Nando’s have been known to hit the market with funny – if sometimes controversial adverts – and then pulled them shortly afterwards. So they either made the impact they intended or the advert hadn’t generated the business they expected.
They seldom use the same advert for a long time.
Not so long ago Julius Malema threatened militant action if Nando’s didn’t pull their 100% Julius advert.
Not to mention print media ones with Joost and Amor.
Remember this?
