Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Association of Accredited Practitioners in Advertising (ZAAPA) has warned Mambo\u2019s Chicken, a local fast food eatery, against using what it calls sexualised advertising content in its online advertisements.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated 4 October 2021, ZAAPA president Barry Manandi ordered the chief executive officer of Mambo\u2019s Chicken to immediately stop the practice and use \u201cwit and satire\u201d to promote their brand instead of using sexualised content. The letter reads:<\/p>\n

RE: SEXUALIZED ADVERTISING CONTENT IN MAMBOS CHICKEN ONLINE ADVERTISING<\/p>\n

It is with great dismay that we write to you about the above matter that we have been tracking for some time now.<\/p>\n

We have noted with concern, that in recent times your business has been exclusively using sexualized content to promote your products.<\/p>\n

While it is your prerogative to create the brand that you desire, the introduction of lewd and course innuendo has come to the Association\u2019s attention and members of the public have raised concerns around this.<\/p>\n

Your latest piece of work has been of most concern, as not only does it centre on your chosen sexual slant, but it further, insinuates the violation of women, using your chicken.<\/p>\n

The inference is around your suggestion as a brand, that at the purchase of Mambos Chicken for a woman, sex must be the immediate reward.<\/p>\n

In a society that has made it a policy to promote, elevate and empower girls and women, this is not only against Government policy but flies in the face of womanhood.<\/p>\n

While your material has been of concern generally, it is this latest piece of work that is most worrying.<\/p>\n

We now implore you, your marketing team and those handling your brand, from a creative perspective, to assess whether your desire is to promote great-tasting chicken or to tear the moral fabric of the nation, through advertising work that borders on the pornographic.<\/p>\n

As you are aware, the latter is illegal in this country, and action will be taken by this Association, in tandem with its line Ministry, to ensure that our cultural fabric is not further denigrated.<\/p>\n

We would urge that you and your marketing team stop this practice forthwith, and use wit and satire to promote your brand, rather than this base, crass innuendo you have been using.<\/p>\n

We hope to hear from you, or at the very least, see a change, as our mandated role of protecting the integrity of our profession will be executed without flinching.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your cooperation.<\/p>\n

Seemingly responding to Manandi\u2019s threats, Mambo\u2019s Chicken released an advert today on their social media handles, which read: \u201cMambo\u2019s Chicken Pfee!, Very Mnandi\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
