Reports from some key cities and industries in South Africa show that the planned “national shutdown” for today wasn’t quite as impactful as its organisers hoped.
“In general, most manufacturers who had planned normal operations were able to do so at the required production levels, while those in the services and retail sectors were able to operate without major disruptions,” said Denise van Huyssteen, chief executive of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber.
The chamber said that the protest action is not the answer to ills raised by the organisers, echoing other sentiments from businesses that they were in fact making matters worse for the country. In the City of Cape Town, authorities reported and responded to “a few sporadic incidents” of protest.“But thanks to the coordinated and swift response of enforcement agencies, we’ve managed to contain the situation. Our staff remain on high alert, and are continuing their proactive patrols and checkpoints to ensure law and order prevails,” the city said.
