Lerato Sengadi recently took to her Twitter handle to voice out on the Clicks store advert.
In her statement, she called out the EFF’s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi for disrespecting former public protector, Thuli Madonsela.
He said Mbuyiseni could not preach about respecting women while being rude to an elder.
This is coming after an advert from Clicks stating that African women’s hair are “dry and damaged” while that of a white women is “fine and flat”.
Immediately the health and beauty store realized the advert has caused a lot of damages among social media users, they brought it down and apologized but the EFF held protests at Clicks stores across the country on Monday.
It was also reported that almost 40 Clicks stores were affected by the protest action, with five people arrested in connection with the destruction of a Clicks outlet at the Lemon Tree shopping centre in Alberton.
Thuli claimed the advert was a “textbook case of unconscious bias that needed to be called out but anarchy and violence undermine the cause”.
Mbuyiseni responded to her comments, saying she should “find the nearest hell”
Lerato find the tweet from the former EFF spokesperson to be “rude”
“You can’t preach about respecting women and then respond to an elder like this, in such a disrespectful manner.”
“Even if you do not agree with her stance and view on this, this is absolutely no way to address her. Do better, Abuti. This ain’t it!”
This response is utterly rude! U can’t preach abt respecting women and then respond to an elder like this… in such a disrespectful manner… even if u do not agree with her stance and view on this, this is absolutely no way to address her. Do better Abuti, this ain’t it! https://t.co/j7q3bUHco6
