South Africa is already under a shutdown. The majority are unemployed, those who are employed are underpaid, there is no power, corruption is rampant and there is no solution because those who are tasked with fighting it are the ones who are corrupt, writes Vuyani Pambo.
The times demand a disturbance.
The EFF has called for a national shutdown on the 20th of March. The demand is simple - Cyril Ramaphosa must step down. The reason is even simpler; the problem of electricity has become a crisis because of his failure to lead and his insistence to privatise. The African National Congress is against the protest, yet it fails to appreciate the fact that it is the one that engendered the conditions that make the call for a national shutdown possible. But for the ANC’s failure to provide services and create employment opportunities as mandated by the Constitution, there would be no need for a shutdown.
As David Marriot would say; these blacks share a psychic bond with white people. They believe that black people are poor because they do not want to work hard. They believe that the problem of load shedding is because of illegal connections. They are somehow convinced that they have transcended blackness, that they have entered the realm of the human proper. They refuse to be black despite the fact that white people are resolute on being white.
