WHERE ARE YOU ALL GOING? Nando's makes the news - literally - by using Mariëtta Kruger and people dashing for parliament's doors.


Nando's latest video advert employs news studio footage of famed newswoman Mariëtta Kruger - her voice dubbed - with images of parliamentarians all in a mad dash for the door, as they flee the apparently terrible food in the hallowed halls of South Africa's parliament.

"Today in parliament there was an uproar when it was suggested the national assembly order anything other than the Nando's full pack meal," starts the ad with a voice-over over the image of Mariëtta Kruger as if she's reading the news once again on television as she once really did for years on the SABC.

The voice however is clearly not hers.

Then there's footage of a massive number of people heading for the door and filing out of the benches as a perplexed would-be speaker or chairperson keeps monotonously asking: "Where are you all going? Where are you all going?"
