Nando’s & Julius Malema’s Ad

Nando Ad – Julius Malema 

If you have not already watched the Nandos advert everyone is talking about then you need to watch it!  The ANC Youth League has quickly jumped on their high horses and asked for this advert to be taken off air or else it will “mobilise a militant action against Nandos and anything associated with Nando’s”.  Now does this mean they will attack every Nandos shop in South Africa like the war veterans did in Zimbabwe?

There was also a prank call not so long ago when Malema apparently spoke to Barack Obama. I am trying to find if i can get my hands on it and post it here.

The ad by Nandos depicts , Julius Malema, as endorsing the chicken products.
Malema is heard saying that Nandos is in favour of change and the more money you pay with the more change you get.
From the Sapa story:

The television adverts feature a puppet named Julius — which
could be a reference to ANCYL leader Julius Malema — who demands
“change”.
The league said it has commissioned its lawyers to investigate.
“While awaiting the legal advice, the ANCYL instructs the
Nando’s Company and those who did the advertisement to promptly
withdraw the advert from all television screens and radio channels.
“If Nando’s does not withdraw the adverts, the ANCYL will
mobilise the people of South Africa to take militant action against
Nando’s and anything associated with Nando’s.”
Nando’s marketing manager Sylvester Chauke said Nando’s went
with the political theme because “it is what is happening in the
country at the moment”.
“Our advertisements are not a stab at Julius Malema at all. What
is it that Nando’s said in the advert that is negative about
him?… If only I could have an answer to that.”

 

South Africa’s next president

His election rallies burst into a song called Bring Me My Machine Gun, swaying and jigging. Jacob Zuma has been acquitted of all charges!

He was alleged to be taking campaign money; faced 783 counts of fraud, racketeering, tax evasion and corruption which somehow never came to court; and had been acquitted of rape!
This fast-approaching catastrophe is a source of shame and apprehension to millions of honest people, white and black, in South Africa itself.

South Africa dominated the nightly news for weeks on end. Now the media barely mention anything. Why not? Because post-apartheid South Africa is a failure.
Here is terrifying crime, corruption and the absurd purchase of needless submarines and aircraft for a country with no serious enemies except its own elite.

The huge epidemic called AIDS, given the acres of graves that the government’s moronic policies, to do nothing but follow folk remedies (including beetroot). Electricity blackouts are now frequent as Koeberg is beginning to fail, raising fears of an African Chernobyl.

Then there are the railway system, costing millions for the 2010 World Cup. Taxi strikes from the millions of illegal drivers saying that their jobs are being taken away! The man who will lead it there is called Jacob Zuma.

Zuma has four wives and 18 children. He has for years avoided standing trial on fraud and corruption charges. Nobody seriously believes he ever will: his approaching election is already spreading fear in South Africa’s legal establishment.

On April 22 he will become President of one of the world’s most important countries.

Schabir Shaik, has just been released early – on medical grounds, from a 15-year sentence imposed in 2006 for fraud and corruption.

Jackie Selebi is currently suspended, accused of having a ‘corrupt relationship’ with a convicted drug smuggler and also ‘defeating the ends of justice’.

The once-admired Scorpions, a police anti-corruption squad symbolising the country’s determination not to follow the rest of Africa ,have been disbanded, helping the country further into the dark cave it already is in.

A breakaway, called the Congress of the People (COPE), has just scored surprisingly well in council by-elections, putting fear in the face of ANC. They are one of the only true oppositions for the elections.

We will have to wait till the 22nd of April 2009 to see who will live happily ever after.
