It's all systems go for the EFF's planned national shutdown on Monday, with South Africans on both sides of the fence as to whether President Cyril Ramaphosa should resign.
EFF leader Julius Malema, during a briefing on Friday, said the party was all set for Monday's protest action."On Monday, it's not a drinking day. Anyone who drinks alcohol on that day is a sell-out," Malema said.'Every corner of SA is a hotspot': Natjoints vows to maintain heavy presence during EFF shutdown
Sakumzi Nyamza, from Khayelitsha, said he was not concerned about the shutdown in the Western Cape because the DA was granted a court order to prevent the EFF from causing havoc. He said the company he worked for would lose a day on Monday because they wouldn't be able to fetch their employees in Joe Slovo.
"It's possible that the shutdown could give room for other uprisings to take place, even though the results of the shutdown may not be immediate. But when South Africans take to the polls next year, I think we'll see the effect the shutdown had," August said. "I do agree with the reason behind the EFF's protest because I am certain almost everyone in this country is gatvol of the high inflation rates, load shedding, petrol and food prices that keep increasing," she said.
"We need to raise our voices because we cannot be allowed to be subjected to this corruption and load shedding taking place all around us," Saskia said. Siphosethu Thwala, from Langa, said the EFF was providing a fresh perspective into the county's governance and that they were holding those in power to account.I am not an EFF supporter, but it shouldn’t take an EFF supporter to want issues, such as load shedding, to come to an end. Load shedding is a national challenge as it affects everyone. But my concern is the destruction of roads and looting that may take place, while the protesters are trying to voice their opinions.
