Nando's

Nando's is an international casual dining restaurant chain originating from South Africa, with a Mozambican/Portuguese theme. Founded in 1987, Nando's operates about 1,000 outlets in 30 countries.

Nando's specializes in chicken dishes with lemon and herb, mango and lime, medium, hot, extra hot or extra extra hot peri-peri marinades (properly known as Galinha à Africana). In some countries, Nando's has other flavour options such as Mediterranean.

History

The restaurant was founded in 1987 in the Johannesburg suburb Rosettenville when Portuguese-born audio engineer Fernando Duarte took his entrepreneur friend Robert Brozin to a Portuguese takeaway called Chickenland for a meal. After trying the chicken – cooked in peri peri, a chilli sauce originating in Mozambique – they bought the restaurant for about 80,000 Rand (equivalent of about £25,000 at the time). They renamed the restaurant Nando's, after Duarte. After two years the restaurant had four outlets – three in Johannesburg and one in Portugal. By 2013, around 1,000 Nando's branches are located in 35 countries.

Two Ghosts in the Graveyard

by: Nine Days

Two ghosts in a graveyard
Two stones in a row they are
Two lost in a blue car
Can't boast about who we are
New streets and iron bars kept behind the walls
Two ghosts in a graveyard
Down on a corner
A breeze of autumn
There's no tomorrow
The past forgotten
Well who writes the poem then hides it
Who lights the fuse then smothers it
Again, again
Two ghosts in a graveyard
Two stones in a row they are
Two lost in a blue car
Can't boast about who we are
New streets and iron bars kept behind the walls
Two ghosts in a graveyard
Words on pages
Birds in cages
The fall on the page
You're in a message
Well, who writes the poem then hides it
Who lights the fuse then smothers it
Oh, again, again, again
Oooh again yeah
Two ghosts in a graveyard
Two stones in a row they are
Two lost in a blue car
Can't boast about who we are
New streets and iron bars kept behind the walls
Two ghosts in a graveyard
In a graveyard
Ghosts in a graveyard
Oh no, no
Oh no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
