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.
