More than 30 protesters linked to the national EFF shutdown were arrested on Monday after they tried to disrupt the operations of a Woolworths in Sandton. | News24_Business

National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed that a total of 33 protestors had been arrested for"contravention of a court order, public violence and intimidation".

Abraham Nelson, executive of the Consumer Goods Crime Risk Initiative for the CGCSA, told News24 that the incident took place at a Woolworths Food store in Grayston Drive when a group of EFF-affiliated protesters entered the store and sat down at the entrances so they could block entry into the store.

BUSA CEO Cas Coovadia said the organisation had also received reports that up to 2 000 to 3 000 people were marching to Sandton from Alexandra township and that another focal point for protest action was at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
