The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has discouraged its members from taking part in a reported planned shutdown on Monday.
TheANC in KwaZulu-Natal has discouraged its members from taking part in a reported planned shutdown on Monday following the circulation on social media of a poster bearing the ANC’s logo calling for a provincial shutdown.
The party said that it had learnt through social media of the unrest scheduled to take place on August 23, 2021 and lamented the use of its logo without any consultation with the organisation. ANC provincial spokesperson Nhlakanipho Ntombela said they were saddened by the misuse of their logo in the planned unrest and condemned the behaviour in the strongest terms.
Ntombela said that the ANC was not aware of the planned shutdown nor had it planned any unrest and that they were seriously aggrieved by the fact that people had the audacity to drag the party’s logo into conduct which had the potential of perpetuating and wreaking havoc in the province. “The ANC KZN has countless times declared support for former president Jacob Zuma, and we also respect the rights of individuals to peacefully protest using legitimate channels as inscribed in our democratic constitution, however, exercising such right should not infringe on the rights of others or break any laws.
