Crazed mobs of people belonging to a militant socialist political party called the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) spent Saturday morning vandalizing H&M stores at malls across South Africa over a monkey sweatshirt advertisement that the internet deemed to be racist.
The EFF is currently the third-largest party in both houses of the South African parliament.
A declaration from the EFF states that the party draws inspiration from the broad MarxistLeninist tradition and Fanonian schools of thought in their analyses of the state, imperialism, culture and class contradictions in every society.
The party has been repeatedly accused of racism against people who are not black.
We [the EFF] are not calling for the slaughter of white people at least for now, the groups president, Julius Malema, said during a political rally in 2016.
Malema has previously been convicted of hate speech for repeatedly singing dubul ibhunu, which translates to shoot the boer [white farmer]. White farmers in South Africa are currently being murdered at a rate that many are deeming to be genocide.
The group is confirmed to have targeted stores in Sandton City, Menlyn and Mall of the South and are believed to be planning to attack more.
The destruction was over an advertisement by the company in which a young black child was wearing a sweatshirt that read, coolest monkey in the jungle.
Following backlash over the image being deemed racist the company apologized and removed the image from all of their platforms. They also pulled the sweatshirt from their shelves and have said that they will be recycling them.
That wasnt good enough for socialists however corrections and apologies are never enough.
Terry Mango, the mother of the child model has also begged people to stop protesting the stores and crying wolf. She was present at the photo shoot and saw no issue with the slogan.
Am the mum and this is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modelled, Mango wrote. Stop crying wolf all the time, unnecessary issue here
get over it.
Fact is that they will hate and blame white people every second of the day, but really only want to live in white created governance. The white race had its problems obviously yet there’s selective amnesia about the wrongs committed with other races.
This group needs to be rejected by the people as destructive and racist (anti-White) Zulu’s and Whites need to take over—The King of the Zulu’s should be crowned king of South Africa. A well educated man running a constitutional monarch!

There’s a reason blacks travel in groups in the cities where they live...and it isn’t because they’re afraid of non-blacks.
