ANCYL instructs Nandos to withdraw Malema advert

Youth League threatens militant action if the company does not comply

ANC YL INSTRUCTS NANDOS TO PROMPTLY WITHDRAW THEIR DISGUSTING ADVERTISEMENTS

The African National Congress Youth League calls for the immediate withdrawal of the disgusting Nandos television and radio advertisements which uses cheap satire to undermine electoral politics in South Africa (see YouTube clip below). Whatever is the lousy explanation of the Nandos advertisement, the ANC YL is fully aware that the advertisement is intended at mocking the President of the ANC YL, and in a racist fashion portrays political leaders as Cartoons.

The ANC YL has commissioned our Lawyers to investigate the legal issues that could arise around the whole advertisement, and they will soon advise us on action. While awaiting the legal advice, the ANC YL instructs the Nandos Company and those who did the advertisement to promptly withdraw the advert from all television screens and radio channels. If Nandos does not withdraw the adverts, the ANC YL will mobilise the people of South Africa to take militant action against Nandos and anything a associated with Nandos.

Statement issued by the ANC Youth League, April 21 2009
