EFF hits back at DA’s ‘frivolous legal action’ against national shutdown

The EFF has responded to what it calls the DA’s “frivolous legal action” against the party’s national shutdown.

“Their baseless claim of intimidation and predicted violence is part and parcel of the DA’s racist philosophical outlook, which depends strongly on the supposed irrationality of black people and the racist presumption that African people have no capacity to express themselves in a peaceful manner.”

The UDM, South African Federation of Trade Unions, Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania and Land Party are among the organisations that have said they intend to participate. The EFF said the DA’s attempt to single out the red berets and frame the national shutdown as the sole preserve of the party was deliberate.

“The DA has realised the EFF remains its only ideological enemy and a direct threat to its status as the official opposition party. Their legal action is doomed for failure because it lacks basis and is a poor publicity stunt to appeal to an anti-democratic, right-wing constituency,” it said.“The DA cannot and will not stop the overwhelming frustration and pain of our people in defence of Cyril Ramaphosa, and these frustrations will be felt on our streets on March 20.
