Nandos distances itself from Mugabe fall meme ad

South African fast-food chain Nando's has distanced itself from an advert currently circulating on social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook.

The ad, which started circulating early this week, shows a meme of President Robert Mugabe's fall.

Nandos with branches in more than 30 countries said in a statement yesterday it had been alerted of a fake Nandos' advertisement depicting Mugabe's recent public fall being shared on social media.

The fast-food outlet said this constitutes an abuse of their brand and trademarks and they distance themselves from this material.
