EFF members protest outside Durban H&M store
KZN police are investigating after the EFF protested outside an H&M store at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping on the Umhlanga Ridge, north of Durban, yesterday.
SAPS spokesperson, Thembeka Mbhele says no one was hurt.
"There was a group of about 60 members who went there. It was an unlawful gathering. No one has been arrested for now and police are investigating," she says.
The EFF gathered outside the store following the release of an apparent racist advertisement for a hoodie.
