SA Celebs React to the Recent BMW Advert

SA Celebs React to the Recent BMW Advert. When it comes to selling their products and services via advertising, many organizations go all out. They do this to attract new clientele as well as retain their current customers.

One organizations which has been doing well in that department over the years is BMW. The car manufacturers always find creative ways to show off their latest car models. As the car industry is very competitive, BMW makes sure that clients see them as way ahead of their peers.

Their recent advert, has however received different views from social media users across South Africa. The advert is captioned “We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams” with the word ancestors crossed out. This has been regarded as a slap in the face of Africans by some people.

Another celebrity Anele Mdoda also expressed how impressed she is about the advert. As much as she loves BMW as a brand, Anele feels the advert is insulting more especially to the black community.

Dear BMW. Whilst I have mad love for you, your at agency does not get it. AT ALL pic.twitter.com/OEubiamwXJ

Not everyone is offended by the advert though. Siv Ngesi responded to an angry tweep, insinuating that they are just too sensitive. What’s your take on the issue.
