Nando’s launches ‘Tin for Tjips’ campaign

This time last year, as the country was preparing to go into lockdown, thousands of South Africans rushed to the store to stockpile on tinned foods in case of an apocalypse. Now, Nando’s is asking South Africans to do the same – but do donate them in exchange for free chips!

What exactly do you do with all those tins of pilchards, baked beans, and peaches that haven’t expired? Nando’s has a solution.

Nando’s has partnered up with non-profit organisation, Joint Aid Management (JAM), who will distribute the tinned food to those who need it around the country through its well-established network of charitable organisations that focus on taking care of pre-school children through Early Childhood Development centres.

Doug Place, Chief Marketing Officer for Nando’s South Africa says that the brand is incredibly excited about making a difference with this new campaign. “At Nando’s we believe that all South Africans deserve a life well fed. We hope that Tin for Tjips will play its part in making that belief a reality. After all, the government isn’t looking to put chips in you, but we are happy to.”

Claiming your free PERI-PERI or salted chips is pretty simple and can be ordered with any Nando’s meal on the app (Android or iOS) or web.

To qualify, make sure that the tin has its original label, the food item hasn’t expired and won’t for at least another three months, the tin is not damaged in any way and remember to select the “Tin for Tjips” option before checkout. Easy, right?
