ActionSA lambastes EFF’s ‘close all shops’ national shutdown warning

ActionSA has joined the DA in condemning the EFF’s “close down all your businesses” warning to avoid possible looting during the EFF’s national shutdown protest next week.

The EFF has for the past month been lobbying support from different societal stakeholders to join its protest on March 20.

The protests’ objectives are to highlight the impact of load-shedding and call for the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa. 

TimesLIVE reported on Tuesday the EFF warned businesses to close their doors next Monday or risk being looted.  

“Close down all your shops. Close down all your factories to avoid the looting. Close down everything. Nothing will be operating on that day. We are avoiding the looting. We are saying to you, come and join the march, my brother. Come and join the march, my sister,” a bakkie with EFF stickers said over loud speakers in a video circulated online.
