VIDEO : U.S. Pop Star Pharrell Williams Faces Stormy South African Tour

Concerts scheduled by U.S. pop star Pharrell Williams in South Africa next month face disruptions from pro-Palestine protesters over a promotional deal he has with major retailer Woolworths, which has trade ties with Israel. The Grammy award-winning producer and performer has been targeted by the South African branch of the international BDS -Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions- against Israel movement. Braam Hanekom, a BDS South Africa board member, said,?He is about to face the biggest backlash any artist has faced in South Africa in over 30 years, since the days of apartheid."
