Nando's Withdraws Mugabe Advert

Nando's South Africa is no longer airing a TV commercial that pokes fun at Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, after receiving threats from a loyalist Mugabe youth group.

"We've noted with concern the political reaction emanating out of Zimbabwe, including perceived threats against Nando's Zimbabwe's management, staff and customers," the fast food chain said in a statement.

The video depicts a Mugabe look-a-like reminiscing about the 'good ol' times' with other dictators around the world. Youth group Chipangano's leader Jimmy Kunaka however believes that the video "reduces our president to be someone without values."
