BREAKING. Nando's fiery new poster targets the SABC after Isidingo burns down two weeks after the SABC banned Nando's TV ad.


"Sorry SABC. We know how much you hate fire starters." Those are the words from Nando's fiery new poster ad Nando's advertising agency whipped up in record-time today after a blazing fire which raged out of control for more than 3 hours last night took SABC3 off the air for a while and decimated Studio 6 at Henley Studios  at the SABC and incinerated the Isidingo set.

Two weeks ago the SABC (followed by MultiChoice's DStv and e.tv) banned Nando's new "Diversity" anti-xenophobia TV commercial. "Pity you can't ban them all," Nando's says in the new poster ad, clearly hinting at both incidents - the SABC banning Nando's and the fire which swept through the SABC and caused tens of millions of rands of damage.

"We'd like to make it clear that we had nothing to do with this. We prefer igniting public debate, not studios," says the Nando's in the print ad.
