SAFTU General-Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi is encouraging South Africans to turn up in their numbers to speak out.“We cannot allow our country to be at the doorstep of a failed state as we have seen in Zimbabwe and other countries. As I speak to you now we are load shed. We get load shed three to four times a day.

Motorists experienced more pain at the pump this week after the government announced another hefty fuel price hike for July. All grades of petrol went between R2.37 and R2.57 a litre.Abedian says government’s hands are tied. “The government is literally caught between a rock and a hard place, they don’t have the fiscal resources to keep subsidising the price of petrol. They have at the same time missed about almost 20 years to get the national network of transportation such that our dependency on petrol as an economy becomes more efficient.

Yeah...this is gonna fix everything. Instead of shutting down everything why don't you come up with a solution? You are only making the situation worse.

Just like our dinosaur politicians, the unions are so set in their ways. Every time they strike everything gets more expensive.

It will level standard of living by reversing gains of capitalism making everybody equally poor for ubuntu to prevail🤞🏽✊🏽

Will this change the current food price? The answer is No

Rubbish, they leave their tax evader who's stealing our tax and now going around fooling us!!!

Just explain the reasoning behind this, please SAFTU. The logic. Everything costs more yes. We all know this. How will a shutdown help?

They late Mpumalanga n KZN Richard's Bay where US Army camp around they already started that.

Why don't you just go to work and do the job which you are paid to do. Be committed and diligent and fix what has been broken. That way you will be doing your country a great service.

Good luck

Wonderful small business can’t wait for more disruption. The mind boggles.

Is that supposed to help
