Nando’s have taken things to the next level this time, with the appointment of their new “CEO.” His name is Kagiso and the whole ad rips off every ounce of the Trevor Noah Cell C ads.

Living in the Cape comes with many bonuses, not least of being some of our local population’s tradition of knocking out their front teeth. Personally, I think it’s very sexy .

Movember is a special time for men the world over. For exactly one month of every year, we claim the unreserved right to sport that most princely of accessories – the mustache.

RSA Web is on board with that vibe, and what’s more, they want to reward you for it.

To help raise awareness around the Movember initiative, RSA Web is running a ‘Uniquely South African’ initiative. And by “uniquely South African”, we of course mean “awesome”.
