Santam respond to Nando's spoof advert and Nando's equally responded to the challenge- both scored positive points from social media fanatics.

Social networking site Twitter is buzzing with conversation about Santam since the new advertisement broke on YouTube on the 24th of April.

It was not surprising why Santam was trending on Twitter, becoming the most talked-about brand in South Africa on the social media site for the day.  The same could be said about Nando’ s.

It was in fact unprecedented that the response to the advertisement has been overwhelmingly positive with comments ranging from "#Santam's Brilliant response to Nando's spoof of the Ben Kingsley advert" by Mike Stopforth to "Marketing win (seriously)!" by well-known South African science fiction author Lauren Beukes.

#Nando's has since accepted the challenge and agreed to deliver food to the Johannesburg Children's Home. In addition, they have agreed to deliver a meal a month to the Johannesburg Children's Home for the next year.
