Nando’s, Cele have SA smiling

- LUTHO PASIYA

WITH the government implementi­ng a national lockdown in a bid to curb the spread of coronaviru­s, many people were left devastated that they wouldn’t be able to get fast food during this period.

If there was ever a time when South Africans collective­ly could use delicious fast food, now would be it.

Over the past few weeks, though, people have been sharing hilarious memes on social media of how they missed their favourite fast foods.

This week, a Twitter account by the name @TMbuzi shared a meme of a man crawling through a tunnel with the caption, ‘#Day19ofLoc­kdown.’

“If my calculatio­ns are correct, @NandosSA should be right above me.”

Which got Nando’s and Police Minister Bheki Cele exchanging hilarious responses to one another.

In response to @TMbuzi’s post, Nando’s tagged Cele and said the man was using them as a front to break into the Tops liquor store next door.

“Hello @GenBheki_Cele… This man is using us as a front to break into the Tops next door.”

Now, what got South Africa cracking up is that Cele responded, saying they must send him a direct message of their recipe and he will send officers thereafter.

“DM me the recipe I’ll send the officers. – Gen. Bheki Cele.” – (@GenBheki_Cele)

“Open essential bottle stores

1st then nandos will share recipes with you.” – @Madlinkosi (@madlinkosi)

“GENERAL U can also make joke?” – Antonio (@Antonio_The1st)

“The General has spoken.” – Asazani™ (@Caramelize­dAndy)
