President Cyril Ramaphosa warned on Thursday that South Africa's security forces would protect the country from"disorder and anarchy" after a leftwing party called for a nationwide strike next week to try to force him out.The country's third largest party, the Economic Freedom Fighters , has called for a"national shutdown" next Monday.
If protestors"restrict the rights" of other citizens"and unleash violence, our security forces are going to defend the people of South Africa," he said.The timing, he charged, revealed that political parties are"positioning themselves because they want to win the vote." Ports, parliament, border crossings and the Johannesburg stock exchange building among others will be targeted as key protesting points, Malema said.
He narrowly escaped a parliamentary vote in December that could have initiated impeachment proceedings against him over half-a-million dollars in undeclared cash hidden at his farm.
