Protests over an advertisement viewed as racially offensive forced the closure of at least 60 outlets of a chain of drugstores.
Leaders of the leftist opposition party Economic Freedom Fighters led the protests against the nationwide retailer Clicks, in which some of its supporters vandalized some stores.
The Economic Freedom Fighters will not let the company return to normal operations until it takes specific measures to rid itself of racism, said the militant party's deputy president Floyd Shibambu, who led the protest at the Clicks store in Johannesburg's posh Sandton suburb. “We are not going to agree to allow racist institutions to be allowed to continue existing as if nothing is wrong,” said Shivambu.
