ACT OF RELIGIOUS ************** DUE TO COVID-19

Firstly all my years I have been a customer of MRP and today I was disgusted by the way I was treated at the St George’s Store in CPT. I am a muslim female who is in Niqab (meaning wearing the muslim veil) and today in this store I was stopped by security, staff employee and also manager whereby it was stated to me that I cannot wear my Scarf neither my veil (pardah) but have to wear a mask to enter the store.

SO SO DISGUSTED AND HURT BY THIS. THIS IS ACT OF ************** AGAINST MY RELIGION. How can this be when I am more protected than any individual that is wearing the mask, why it’s because by the time this whole pandemic **** is over and everyone will no longer be wearing the mask I will still be protected from breathing in any Virus. People wearing the mask everyday breathes in their own bacteria which increases but it decreases the body’s immune antibodies to fight against any germ…

TAKING THIS TO THE MEDIA AND COURT
