H&M releases statement temporarily closing all its stores in South Africa following vandalization and recent attacks
Last week, South Africans vandalized H&M
shops in protest of the ''monkey'' H&M advert. Members of
a youth-oriented political movement stormed H&M stores across the
country.
Groups of protesters went to various H&M stores across the
country, including several malls in Johannesburg, in the capital
Pretoria, and in the northern Limpopo province.
In response, H&M has issued an official statement to temporarily close all its stores in South Africa saying,
'out of concern for the safety of our employees and customers, we have
have temporarily closed all stores in the area. We strongly believe that
racism and bias in any shape or form, deliberate or accidental is
simply unacceptable'.
