EFF leader Julius Malema says they will shut down the country on the 20th of March to demand the return of electricity and the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa.

He says their march shutdown is informed by rising cost of living and poverty, high levels of corruption and lack of service delivery among others.Meanwhile, Western Cape Premier, Alan Winde, has requested a meeting with President Ramaphosa regarding the energy crisis.

“The next stage will be calling for an urgent meeting with the president and his team and failing that is the intergovernmental dispute process and then we will take it to the next level. I will once again be writing to say I need that meeting for the exact details so that we can have clarity, so that our businesses, our citizens can plan based on a concrete plan that shows what energy provision is going to be made.

Fighting electricity down with yet another shutdown....sounds unfair ....

Resignation of the ANC government please - 30 years of looting - life is too short to keep struggling!

Ao!!!

20th of March might seem too far but the reality is you can't wake up in the morning and call for a Strike. There must be a plan in place and proper arrangements for the Strike to be legal. I think Malema is got it right by starting to mobilize citizens now.

20th March special school holiday😂😂😂😂😂😂

Brilliant move SA suffer more Economic Failure For all

Julius was one of the best politician during Zuma yrs ,now a days Julius is just a comedian ya mpheyane le gona. Is best for him to resign and give others in eff to lead. Ndlozi is leadership material

Like toddlers.

Can you please stop reporting on this person.

Put him in jail

Mxxxxxxm

Not just electricity but petrol and the food prices must drop. Lets do this but lets do it right. Petrol, food, and electricity prices must drop. Petrol back to R 12 a liter. Juju lets do this right.

You think the government will care they shut the country down for almost 1 year and they didnt care.

Blah blah blah 😫 be quiet.

Only mad people can think of shutting down the country. Don't listen to Julius Malema's fairy tales; he is suffering from the side effects of his expulsion from his ANC.

The country has been at a stand still for years, we are just trying to make the best of what has not failed completely yet.

An absolutely meaningless exercise, waste of time and money and devoid of any purpose other than making noise. Not even the EFF members can see the purpose.

This is what bores me why not now

But eskom can't keep up with all the many countries living in south Africa that's using the electricity for free

Don't talk to much show us

As long as they don't burn the little that is left over of SA not again. Go to Ramaphosa house and do ur toy toy and burnings there...

So Malema wants shut down 🙄 his family live in opulent lifestyle and he is not going to be affected at all his parliament salary will be paid in full, whilst other people struggle to find jobs hhayi then we shut the same economy that have to create jobs😳😳

Voting da is like voting for apartheid again.

All Male and his followers can do is chaos and destruction Why not come up with a plan to rectify the problem?

What if Ramaphosa declares 20th March as a public holiday? 🤔.... Will that shutdown be effective? Possible curve ball😂

The ANC are hurting the economy all by themselves, they don’t need your help JM. The economy shuts down daily due to load shedding

Join WEf and WEF they have the formula to lockdown countries.

Let him advance a plan to end load shedding. CR called political parties 2 weeks ago all he did was zero. Anarchy won't end load shedding klaar

Ah yes. Because destroying what little economy we have left thanks to loadshedding is definitely going to conjure up more money for eskom.

Sometimes change is unpleasant but the process needs to take place. Are we really going to stand by and complain on social media day in day out without any action

Why the 20th of march and not now , usancenga i-bribe?

Talk is cheap . The shutdown will never happen.

It's about time hey.

Bao loile wena ntwana

The 20th Of March Is Too Far They Have To Shut Down Sooner

Shut down the country with unemployed EFF supporters. Can they afford to buy enough Tshirts and KFC?

20 March...goodness more people with no work no pay. Think for heavens sake

Who's gonna switch the lights on?

So he strikes mass action against status quo burning, looting, stealing damage to property criminals I hurting public etc economy danged further as a result ...... And then when ifts over the corruption just continues no REAL CHANGE is effected?

Supporting Julius Malema is supporting the cigarettes smuggler Mazzotti

This will hurt the economy even more.

We always talk but there ix No action.

MARCH is a month of marching. These Politicians talk too much and little action.

Mamparra can't even pay back the stolen VBS money but they want to shut down a country that us already in a recession. 30percenter most probably....

This Is the Country state. RN.

He's motivated by Zuma's bogus election to the non existent sanco

The best way to resolve conflict is through communication.Dont put fuel in the burning house.Ur economy is in the ICU.

The 20th of March is too far

I don't believe cos last time they told us about shutdown but it didn't happened

Poenskop Pampoenkop

Bringing the country to a standstill, hurting the economy even further? Yes, that will get the power on quick-quick. Eish, this guy. Try and do something constructive for a change. Hurting the economy further helps no one..

I wish one day Jules would say something positive or offer a solution to anyone of the problems caused by the ANC of which he was once a proud member ☀️

The country has been shut down for years, welcome to the party.

𝗦𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 Can't talk now. 𝘞𝘩𝑎𝑡𝑠𝘈𝑢𝑡𝑜

Malema of EFF is a mampara of the month...

Doesn't look urgent enough.

MaponyaRamodike Kudala so🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Do you agree with CIC J.S Malema?

What does he want to shut down. The country is all ready shut down

He's not a president, we wil carry on as normal🖕🏻they can't march down the streets this is not a playground, they are only visitors in this country.

The country is already 'shut down' due to loadshedding... Be proactive. Vote DA 🤣🤣

The end of CyrilRamaphosa is nigh.

Good luck to him... May they break a leg

Shut down like burning cars and trucks and/or tires.....

20 March is so far, make it tomorrow. We are really tired, we exhausted with ANC. There is no future or hope with Ramaphosa's government

Zisazokhala bafana... It is like a Tsunami waves. First it was DA on the 25th of January, there comes EFF on the 20th of March... Azishe!!!

Paldron Why is NUMSA so quiet 🤫 they killed SAA like drove it straight into the ground then they were very vocal about Eskom about a year ago but they have gone silent now., are they now seeing the fruits of their wonderful engagement just like this doos

This thing is irrelevant. Thanks bye
