The countries which lost their franchises can be roughly split into categories: Closed recently: These are Lesotho, Malawi and Nigeria. Each saw their franchises disappear in the last 5 years, and the reasons are mostly unclear. Lesotho possibly closed due to mismanagement and new customs laws in the country, but even that is just newspaper rumour.

Closed a while ago: Angola, Ghana and Kenya. During Nando's history of internet presence, they have never even confirmed the existence of these restaurants. We only know about them from first-hand accounts of people who visited them, and a few old articles such as this one. Each only has one known restaurant, and they were in the respective capital cities of Lusaka, Accra, and Nairobi.

Unknown: Only Uganda falls into this category. Was there or is there a restaurant in the capital Kampala? This certainly suggests there might be, but a Nando's which sells pizza certainly sounds questionnable to me.

Which was fine, except for the fact that I had phoned that day and made a reservation. Whatever: we found the excellent Copper Chimney a few doors away, heaving with Indian Durbanites on a family night out. Wandering over to the karaoke bar after dinner, we found that it, too, had closed down - and again, I had rung them that very evening.

Either the people I spoke with were too polite or embarrassed to tell me their business had folded, or Coffee Bay voodoo had kicked in. I must have been walking with a bit of a sashay, because when we asked a security guard where to go for a drink, he directed us to B-Zone, the oldest gay bar in Durban.

It was a quiet night, with no sign of their occasional beauty pageants like Miss Back To School. Ernest behind the bar mixed gin and tonics that would have stopped a rhino, and we chatted with some of your actual African queens. For what it's worth, this was the only place I saw a mixed race couple. Two guys in their 50s, one black, one white, discreetly held hands in an alcove in 4play, and I bet they had a story to tell. Strong words and a few tears in the tour group this week.

The paying customers are not happy with some aspects of the tour, specifically the lack of guiding and information, and the fact that we have bought our own tickets for some things that are supposed to be included in the tour price. As the freeloader, I am in a funny position, so I kept mostly quiet. But they have a point: the itinerary promises an introduction to the history, culture and nature of South Africa, and although we are seeing some breathtaking scenery, we are getting no context or information through which to experience it.

Well, it finally emerged that neither guide had done this tour before, and that the main guide had been brought in just hours after finishing another tour.
