Economic Freedom Fighters president Julius Malema addressing thousands of party members joined by other political parties during a National Shutdown protest in Pretoria..
It’s understood that many bus companies around the country refused to release their buses to carry protesters to various destinations for fear of their safety.In Tshwane, protesters gathered in Church Square in the city centre before heading to the Union Buildings. Protesters were also calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down. Hoisting different placards throughout their march, they accused Ramaphosa of failing the country with endless blackouts which have been worse in the past few months.
In a statement released during the day, the EFF said it was pleased that the national shutdown had happened as planned, and the protest was successful and peaceful. “The success of the national shutdown proves that our people are sick and tired of load shedding, corruption, unemployment, crime, gender-based violence and lack of service delivery,” said the party.
