Clicks said it will now use the shelf space created by the removal of TRESemme to support more local brands.
Pretoria – The Clicks Group, owners of Clicks stores, and United Pharmaceutical Distributors have committed to increase spending on small, micro and medium enterprises in South Africa and their support for local beauty, hair care brands and other products, as the businesses make concessions after a massive racial fallout.
The fallout in South Africa over the publication of a racially offensive advert for a hair product by TRESemmé on Clicks’ digital platforms continues. The material originated from the supplier Unilever, the makers of TRESemmé. The product has since been removed from Clicks shelves. Clicks also committed to involve their supplier base to mentor SMMEs across the company’s value chain.
