JOHANNESBURG - Trouble may be brewing this coming week for retail giant Clicks after Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema tweeted an instruction for members to "attack".
We would like to issue an unequivocal apology. We have removed the images which go against everything we believe in. We do not condone racism and we are strong advocates of natural hair. We are deeply sorry and will put in place stricter measures on our website.In statements released on Friday and Saturday, the EFF said the portrayal reinforced a racist narrative of the abnormality of blackness as opposed to whiteness.
It issued a number of ultimatums for the retailer, calling for the sacking of those responsible for the advert, among other things.
