🇿🇦S-Africa Outraged by :Racist' Dove Ad

Personal care and beauty brand Dove found itself in the midst of a social media storm on Sunday after it released a series of images that showed a black woman turning white after using its soap.

The Facebook campaign showed a series of three images, in which a black woman takes off her T-shirt to reveal a white woman underneath. In the last image, the woman is revealed to be Asian.

Dove has since apologised for the series of "racist" images and removed it from Facebook. "An image we recently posted missed the mark in representing women of colour thoughtfully," the brand tweeted. "We deeply regret the offence it caused."

The campaign from Dove, who has built its brand around being the "the home of real beauty", provoked anger all over the world, including among South Africans.
