EFF leader Julius Malema has vowed that party members will ensure that Clicks stores remain closed for the whole week over the controversial advert suggesting that black women's hair was inferior. Clicks has found itself at the centre of a storm over an advert its chief executive labelled, "insensitive and offensive".

WHY DOES EFF want to shut down Clicks?

EFF threatens to shut down Clicks stores across the country from Monday. This comes in the wake of an offensive hair advert by Clicks South Africa. The political party had recently given Clicks a list of demands to meet within 24 hours.

Why is Clicks closed?

Clicks closes stores due to looting and vandalism of stores. Retailer Clicks has announced that it would close 110 of its stores in KwaZulu-Natal and 130 in Gauteng, due to the vandalism and looting of stores in shopping centres and its distribution centres across the country.
