Youths vandalize South African H&M store due to racist Campaign AD

An H&M store in Johannesburg
Swedish retail chain, H&M has lost a lot of business since the release of an ad campaign that has been tagged racist, but that's not all they will be suffering.
A video showing teenage looking boys vandalizing an H&M retail outlet has been making the rounds on social media.

The surge of violence aimed at the brand is said to have been provoked by the racist ad which has since been pulled down by the brand and apologised for, albeit, in a lukewarm manner.
An H&M spokeswoman said: “This image has now been removed from all H&M channels and we apologise to anyone this may have offended.”
You would recall the debut of the controversial advert which showed a young black boy wearing a hoodie emblazoned with the slogan 'Coolest Monkey in the jungle'.
