Advertising Controversy
Nando's is known in South Africa for its humorous but often controversial adverts. One such television advert from 2000, involved a blind woman being led into a pole intentionally and knocked unconscious by her guide dog, which then proceeded to eat the chicken that the woman had just purchased. This caused an uproar within the blind community and caused the South African Advertising Standards Authority to call for the withdrawal of the advert[6].
In Australia, Nandos ran an advertising campaign based around the 2002 political controversy regarding the mandatory detention of illegal immigrants. The detainees had been waging a hunger strike campaign, even resorting to physically sewing their lips closed. Nandos adverts proclaimed that the strikers "decided to unsew their lips after hearing the news that with every Nando's quarter chicken combo, Nando's are giving away an extra quarter chicken free"[7]
In 2007 there was further controversy in Australia when Nando's aired a sexually explicit advertising, centred around a family whose mother figure was also a pole dancer. Despite complaints to have it removed, the Advertising Standards Bureau ruled that it did not contain excessive nudity for its M rating.
The Nando's Bike Club
In the UK, the NBC is a cycling club founded in 1994 with the aim of uniting people, cycles and Nando’s restaurants. The NBC travels to many places, always eating at a Nando’s restaurant along the way. Uniting feathers and fitness, poultry and pedals, the group is unaffiliated with Nando's but exists through Facebook to promote copious chicken consumption and healthy living among people of all races, ages and affiliations.
