The national joint operational and intelligence structure (Natjoints) comprising the defence force, state security agency and the police have laid down the law over what will not be tolerated during Monday's mass protests planned by the EFF.
In a briefing, the Natjoints presented a united front, pouring cold water on claims the EFF's planned action is a national shutdown.
The Natjoints assured South Africans it was well-prepared for whatever eventuality, hinting it was taking every threat, even if made by civilians on social media, seriously. It promised police and soldiers would be out in full force all over the country, with the soldiers' main aim being to protect national key points.Operations by security forces were being rolled out with the Natjoints saying it would be clamping down on threats before, during and after the planned protest action.
On businesses, he said: “The measures that have been put in place by the security cluster will enable businesses and services to operate, while government and all modes of transport services will be accessible to members of the public.”“Security will also be heightened at all our ports of entry — land, sea, and air. We assure travellers into and out of the country that there is no need to panic.
