At Nonesi Mall, centre manager Yolanda Moss said a woman, in her early 30s, was about to pay at the till when more than six people dressed in EFF outfits attacked the outlet.
Moss said the group had earlier attacked a second Clicks store in the town situated on Cathcart Road in the city centre, where a video of the incident was captured, before proceeding to the sister store at the mall.Clicks workers 'unfortunate collateral' - EFF's Floyd Shivambu vows to protest the whole week
At Nonesi Mall, Moss said the shopper fell down and injured her ankle after possibly slipping on a hand sanitiser which was thrown on the floor by the protesters, or after she was hit by a shelf. The attack on the Komani branch is one of many demonstrations targeting Clicks stores countrywide. Some have gone by without incident, while some have turned violent.
A case of malicious damage to property has been opened with the police following the incident, confirmed Eastern Cape police spokesperson Colonel Sibongile Soci.
