Idols SA judge Somizi has weighed-in on the Clicks hair saga causing South Africa trouble.
The star took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the issue.
He said: “They are not the first ones and they are definitely not the last ones (to do this) because black people are so forgiving.
“The reason the world disrespects us is because we tolerate sh*t. We forgive. What I am saying is that what you allow continues and this will still continue”, he said.
While he made it very clear that he felt the advert was racism, he also said there was some truth to it.
“However, there’s a little bit of truth in what they said because people treat you how you treat yourself.
“Our hair is naturally thick and curly and coarse and lovely and rich.
“The hair that they showed is the hair that looks like what happens when we relax our hair.
“My hair right now is not natural, it has chemicals, it’s damaged.
