Muammar Gaddafi shooting Robert Mugabe with a gold water gun in South African restaurant chain Nado's Last Dictator Standing ad
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's youth militia has seen the South African restaurant chain Nando's new "last dictator standing" ad, and they are not amused.
The commercial for its six-piece chicken combo depicts Mr. Mugabe reminiscing about his times with departed dictators to the song Those Were the Days.
He is shown having a water-gun fight with Muammar Gaddafi, making sand angels with Saddam Hussein and riding in a tank with Idi Amin, before awakening from his dream to find himself at a dinner table, alone at Christmas, The Associated Press reported.
The Zimbabwe youth group, Chipangano, has demanded an apology from Nando's, threatened to boycott the South Africa-based chain and demanded the ad be withdrawn or the restaurant face retribution.
Under Zimbabwe law, it is an offence to insult Mr. Mugabe or undermine the authority of his office.
