CAPE TOWN: Clicks will offer five scholarships to black women to earn pharmaceutical degrees in 2021.
It is part of an agreement reached between the company and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) after a meeting on Thursday.
Clicks and Unilever are at the center of a controversy surrounding a racially offensive ad for a hair product. The retailer apologized.
“Clicks expresses its remorse to all South Africans, black women in particular, for the racist TRESemmé ad it posted on its websites,” the EFF and Clicks said in a joint statement.
There have been suspensions, a resignation and Unilever has taken TRESemmé products off the shelves nationwide for 10 days.
Clicks said it would also store more locally produced products.
