For that we must salute the courts, cops, army, private security and civil society for putting a halt to the EFFThese groups banded together to form a strong lobby against violence. To save face, the EFF proclaimed protecting the constitution by marching peacefully to remove President Ramaphosa from office!
Two court interdicts at the weekend prior to the shutdown day set the ball rolling. These interdicts against violence put the EFF on the backfoot, as did social opprobrium!
