New Vodacom Advert with Idi Amin type-dictator
The new advert with the Idi Amin character is seriously lacking tact and sensitivity

Substitute Hitler for the Idi Ami-type character portrayed, and the world would be up in arms, but an African dictator responsible for bloodshed and African deaths is ok to link your brand to?

jees - which genius approved this campaign, let alone "concpetualised" it?
