Day two of EFF Clicks protest in Richards Bay

Clicks stores in Richards Bay are closed, but no trouble has been reported

WHILE Clicks stores have agreed to remain closed, at 11am this (Tuesday) morning EFF Regional Chair for the King Cetshwayo District, Sibusiso Mthiyane, was awaiting reinforcements to join him at the store inside the Boardwalk Inkwazi Shopping Centre in Richards Bay.

At present, there is no trouble of any sort at the shopping centre, and Mthiyane granted entry into Clicks to an elderly man who needed to urgently pick up a prescription.

Elsewhere in the region, while Clicks stores are closed, there have been no reports of violence or intimidation.

The party is adamant that all Clicks branches will be closed until Friday.

The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has launched an investigation into the incident.

Clicks stands accused of racism after allowing the publication of an offensive TreSemme advert on its website.

The brand has since apologised for the error.
