Advertising

Australian refugee advertisement

In , Nando's ran an advertising campaign in Australia based around a political controversy regarding the mandatory detention of refugees.

The detainees had been waging a hunger strike campaign, even resorting to sewing their lips closed. Nando's adverts proclaimed that the strikers "decided to unsew their lips after hearing the news that with every Nando's quarter chicken combo, Nando's are giving away an extra quarter chicken free." Melbourne's Sphere Advertising said that the ad was designed to spark controversy, saying that they knew that "there's a section of our audience that's going to be uncomfortable but we want to evoke a response."[65]

Malema advertisement

During the South African national elections of , Nando's made an advert lampooning African National Congress Youth League then president Julius Malema by using a puppet that resembled him.

Malema's lawyers sued Nando's and the original advert was removed. However, an altered version was released, with the puppet's face pixelated and the voice altered. The puppet used in the advert was later sold at auction for , rand, which was donated to an educational charity.[66]

"Last dictators" advertisement

In , Nando's launched a "Last dictators" advert in South Africa.[67] The second commercial shows a sad Robert Mugabe dining alone at Christmas in a large mansion while he reminisces about "happier times" with former dictators, such as playing water tag with Muammar Gaddafi, singing karaoke with Mao Zedong, making snow angels in the sand with Saddam Hussein, pushing P.

W. Botha on a swing set, and riding a Covenanter cruiser tank with Idi Amin in a similar fashion to Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet embracing each other from the film Titanic, while the music from "Those Were the Days" is played.[68]

Musekiwa Kumbula, holder of the Nando's franchise in Zimbabwe, said his group "strongly feels the advertisement is insensitive and in poor taste." The advert also offended Chipangano, a Zimbabwean youth militia loyal to Mugabe, who then demanded an apology from Nando's, threatened to boycott the South Africa-based chain, and demanded the advert be withdrawn or the restaurant face retribution.[69] Nando's South Africa subsequently withdrew the advert citing threats to its staff in Zimbabwe from a youth group.[70]

Corporation tax bill

Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.(July )

Both The Guardian newspaper (UK) and the American non-profit publication ICIJ received documents in July revealing the details of past and present offshore clients of wealth managers Kleinwort Benson, including the Nando's restaurant group.

The Guardian published its belief that, through the use of businesses in Malta, Guernsey and the Netherlands, Enthoven legally reduces the group's UK corporation tax bill by "up to a third." According to the British newspaper, Enthoven's profits eventually accumulate in the Kleinwort Benson-managed "Taro III Trust" that is based in Jersey and contains at least £ million.[12]

While no member of the Enthoven family agreed to speak with The Guardian, a company representative explained that UK tax laws are not applicable to Enthoven, as "he is not resident in the US or the UK." The spokesperson also stated that, in the UK, Nando's paid corporation tax of £ million on a profit of £ million for the year ending February [12] In its tax strategy, the company states that "Nando's policy is to maintain its tax affairs responsibly and transparently.

Nando's doesn’t enter into transactions simply to secure tax advantages."[71]
