The actors from the latest Vodacom Player 23 ad, ‘Elton and Jan’ (Malcolm Ferreira from Going Nowhere Slowly and Merlon Balie, formerly of 7de Laan) are causing quite a stir and gaining recognition– the ad even features on the FHM website.
Vodacom’s support of the Bokke continues when ‘new’ fan, Elton, competes with original superfan, Jan, to show that HE is the ultimate Springbok supporter. The two meet up often, comparing the boerewors they purchase constantly attempt to ‘outdo’ each other – ultimately ending up as friends.
Directed by Alan Irvin of Picture Tree, the follow up ad has been dubbed ‘hilarious’ – what do you think? For me, it’s all in the typically South African accompanying song. Proudly South African and patriotic, I think it works well.
