Malema promises a toy-toy with every Nando's full chicken peri-peri

Apparently ANC youth league president Julius Malema wasn’t too upset about the Nando’s advert which portrays him as a puppet explaining how every time you purchase at Nando’s you get a whole bunch of change. Indeed, so the ad goes, the more money you hand over the more “change” you get. A pun on political change as opposed to the rands and cents variety.

Others in the ANCYL were, however, not as forgiving calling the advert racist and threatening “militant action”.

This I would imagine will make your next Nando’s experience quite lively. If, for example, like me you prefer to eat at Nando’s then the starter liver you order will probably be your own…handed to you on a plate with a roll. Those who order the “very hot” chicken peri-peri will soon learn that ring sting is the least of their problems. With all due respect to the franchise nobody uses their public toilet which means you have to somehow get to your car. Considering that walking to your car with a full “very hot” on board is a precarious exercise at the best of times what do you think the sight of 200 of Julius’s finest charging towards you will do?

Trust me you’ll be Kenitexing half the cars in the parking lot brown – and that’s with your underrods still on.

Shit in your hat and punch it!

Then what about the geniuses who order Nando’s by Mr Delivery? Most of you keep the television volume right down so that you can listen out for the driver at the gate. Now with Nando’s all improved toyi-toyi system all you have to do is listen out for the sound of thousands of outraged youth leaguers congregating outside your home. For those of you who are hard of hearing don’t panic that brick through your window should be a dead giveaway. If not, the driver and his scooter suspended from the tree outside your house should attract enough interest in the neighbourhood to alert you to the fact that your meal has arrived.

Only in South Africa! I love it.

**Guys it really is great to be back. My thanks to Dr Lawrence Dissler and the staff at the Linksfield Clinic who really were outstanding. Dr Dissler performed the operation at the Sunninghill Clinic with Linksfield due to have their own facilities for doing stents within the next two months. It was hairy but it was also rewarding in that I found out how great South Africans really are. Thank you once again for your kind words.

My thanks too to the many people from Derby in England and Pakistan who also sent kind words and wishes.

At least I’m now firing again on all cylinders.
