The ANC has hailed South Africans for rejecting the EFF’s invitation to participate in what it says could have been another July 2021 unrest.

The EFF wanted to “paralyse” the country and “cripple” the economy but patriotic citizenry made sure that did not happen, he said.

The ANC, he said, recognised the frustrations of load-shedding along with the slowed pace of service delivery and creation of jobs, among others. Mbalula applauded the show of strength by law enforcement that saw thousands of police, military and intelligence agents deployed in what would have been hotspots during the protest.

“To protect the country and to maintain the rule of law and defend an ailing economy cannot be excessive. We are still reeling from the impact of that disaster,” said Mbalula.He said the state security machinery’s responsiveness should be lauded.
