Nando’s: Malema Sets The Record Straight
Nando’s probably had no idea how much mileage their elections marketing campaign would get out of the 100% Julius advert that flighted during the elections.
Maybe they are paying Julius Malema a fee after all, because he won’t stop talking about chickens.
Questioned by journalists about the Nando’s situation, Julius replied: “I don’t know what’s happening with Nando’s. We are running this country and we cannot be concerned about chickens.”
Running the country, heaven forbid!
Malema said before that he had no problem with Nando’s but wanted to be paid for use of his image.
After meeting with Nando’s, they agreed to pull the advert, but flighted a similar ad with the image blurred, voice distorted and no mention of the puppet’s name – for one night only.
In case anyone was wondering, Malema set the record straight “I eat chicken, it doesn’t matter which chicken, whether it’s one from the streets, cooked …”
