Mango Groove headlines Summer Christmas in South Africa

Iconic 67-piece South African Afropop band Mango Groove teams up with the country's grocery retailer Pick n Pay to bring a surprised couple of beach walkers a twist on the genie/lamp story. The woman has no hesitation in stating her three wishes, which are served up in quick succession. Providing a different vibe from the 'white Christmas' festive campagins of colder climes, the ad brings us a dollop of summer warmth and a twist of humour to encourage a fuss-free feast with garnish of fun, all shared with loved ones.
