Nando's says Oscar ad is fake

Nando's South Africa would like to place on record that any advertising purporting to be from Nando's and making light of the Oscar Pistorius trial is not official in any way.

“Our attention has been drawn to fake Nando's ads doing the rounds on the internet. The visual identity used in these fake adverts bears a remarkable resemblance to that of Nando's and sometimes even uses the Nando's corporate identity. This makes it difficult for the public to determine the origin of the advertisements and therefore distinguish between an original Nando's advertisement and these fakes.”

The Nando's logo and font are the registered trade marks of Nando's, and thus protected in terms of the Trade Marks Act 1993.

“This fake material also has the potential to cause damage to Nando's reputation and as such we do not endorse this unauthorised and irresponsible use of our brand.”
