Nando's has done it again. The beloved fast food chain left South Africans in stitches on 6 August 2026 with a carefully worded Facebook post that said absolutely everything without saying anything at all.
The post shared on the Nando's Facebook account read: "Now delivering everywhere, allegedly." The caption went further, with Nando's adding: "Our legal department has advised us to confirm absolutely nothing. Except free delivery until 11 am tomorrow." For anyone who had been following the news, the joke landed instantly.
The bag that started it all
The post came on the back of a video that had been doing the rounds online, showing EMPD Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi stepping out of a police van after being arrested for the fourth time this year, a Nando's bag clearly visible in his hand. The footage spread fast, and with it came a wave of jokes tagging the brand.

True to form, Nando's did not let the moment pass. Rather than ignore the publicity or issue a straight-faced statement, the brand leaned in with its signature humour, riding the wave while keeping itself at arm's length from the actual controversy. South Africans were not surprised, but they were thoroughly entertained.
