Malema calls on EFF members to be combat-ready, Clicks vows to stay open

JOHANNESBURG - Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has called on his members to be combat-ready this week to close any Clicks store that may reopen as the retailer was grilled for its racist advert.

A number of Clicks stores nationwide have been damaged and forced to close by EFF members who heeded the call by Malema on social media to attack. Glass walls were smashed at the Lemon Tree Shopping Center in Alberton and there was an attempted petrol bombing at a store in Emalahleni.In the Western Cape, seven EFF members were arrested during Monday’s demonstrations.

“So, today is the beginning of rolling action against Clicks. Everyday fighters, you must be combat-ready when you are called that there is a store opened, you have to respond quickly.”“Stop provoking people who are not fighting against you. Black policemen, start respecting yourselves. When you are called, you should ask the question of what the problem is and if there’s any crime being committed.
