Did President Jacob Zuma bite off more than he could chew when he filed an application to interdict the release of the state capture report and then withdrew it? The latest Nando's ad suggests so‚ and the chickens may now be coming home to roost.

"It was a long night for No.1‚" reads the heading of the advertising poster from South Africa’s famous flame grilled chicken restaurant.

It goes on to say: "JZ you’ll need more than a cold shower to shake off this heat… 3hundred and 5thousand and 55pages”‚ poster reads referring to the state capture report".

The company confirmed it is an official Nando's advertisement.

This follows a historic week in which political parties‚ religious groups and the private sector gathered across the country on Wednesday calling for Zuma to resign. It also saw a High Court ruling ordering the public protector to release the state capture report.
