“To protest, we do not require any permit from anyone, it is our constitutional right. Enough is enough. That’s why we took the decision to put our bodies in the streets,” he said.National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe warned that police would be on high alert.“There will be no national shutdown,” she said. “And we are assuring [people] that we have put measures in place to ensure the safety and security of all people.
“They wake up every day on social media to film themselves threatening me. Only when I start threatening violence, all of you will be having voices,” he said.Civil rights organisation AfriForum said the shutdown would be a complete failure and also noted its “more than 160 local neighbourhood watches were on standby to help protect communities in residential neighbourhoods, together with other security role players in cases where disruptions may occur”.
“Those who want to march must march but to shut down the economy is anarchy in its highest order ” he said.“We will take them on that, if lives will be lost on Monday, or shops will be closed on Monday, the leadership of the EFF must take responsibility. Shutdowns are not the solutions to resolving people’s problems in a democracy. A political party that claims it stands for superior logic. The rule of law must be defended by all patriotic citizens.
