A super shady fake Nando's 'advert' has social media users raising their eyebrows. The satirical poster encourages customers not to buy from the food retailer, throwing shots at their "overpriced chicken" and "dusty buns".

Heading online, Twitter user @Gentlements shared the two posters. One poster even suggested that Nando's SA has political factions in the ANC. It seems the Twitter user is really trying to stir up some controversy.

"Don't buy Nando's no matter what!!!!" he passionately captioned the post.

Mzansi took to the comments section with mixed reactions While some agreed that the food retailer's buns were definitely super dry and their chicken overpriced, others expressed concern over the smear campaign against Nando's.

Many especially wondered how many people would be left unemployed if Nando's was brought down.

"You guys take everything to heart. Thina siyayithanda iNandos haaabe."

@promoise said:

"I'm not particularly a political person but it seems to me... If you sabotage @NandosSA then what of the people it employees? Do we buy from them for the adverts or for the quality of their products? Are you really sure you wouldn't rather take it back?"

Shots fired: Nando's shades Piet Rampedi & Tembisa 10 in hilarious new advert

In related news, Briefly News previously reported that Nando's SA has social media users fired up after sharing their most recent TV advert online. Known for throwing some serious shots in their commercials, this time Piet Rampedi and his now-infamous story about the Tembisa woman who gave birth to 10 children were the subjects of Nando's spicy joke.

Heading online, @NandosSA shared the shady advert along with this caption:

"There’s fake news everywhere, heh Jessica we are live. Just get our new Prego & Chips for R49 nje, and it won’t leave you feeling Pietrayed. #Ekurhuleni11"

South Africans had mixed reactions to the clip. While many people found the cheeky commercial super funny and accurate, others really did not enjoy that Rampedi was being poked fun at yet again.

The ad has however reopened a can of worms with many people wondering what Rampedi's been up to since his widely publicised story was uncovered to be false.
