Santam spoofs Nando’s for spoofing Santam

Posted by: admin

The fast food chain is famous for its brazen television adverts, but now Nando’s is getting a taste of its own medicine.

Earlier in April Nando’s released a spoof of insurance company Santam’s latest television advert featuring actor Ben Kingsley.

The Nando’s advert pokes fun at this set-up and shows a local actor addressing the audience while the Nando’s meals on the counter next to him obviously change.

For those abroad its best to watch the ads in sequence.

The title was revealed after a property firm tried to advertise for an apprentice handyman.

A woman Jobcentre worker suggested that the word was sexist and so would prevent young women from taking part in the selection process.
