Marketing strategies seem to not be working these past couple days.
First, it was Clicks’ racially insensitive advert, now KFC has been accused of offending the Tsonga culture.
Tweeting a picture of an episode of Family Feud SA, family contestants the Ngubenis were proudly dressed in their Tsonga traditional attire.
KFC captioned it: “When you can’t decide on one colour, so you wear all of them.”
The tweet has since been deleted, however, tweeps were divided on the tweet. Some said it was a joke, while others said KFC was making a mockery of African attire.
One Twitter user said: “I’m Tsonga, and I don’t find that *joke* offensive. Sometimes y’all need to relax.”
