The call by the EFF for a national shutdown on Monday,20 March 2023 to demand the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa and to protest against load shedding comes when South Africa is experiencing debilitating challenges. These include unemployment, an economic meltdown, general lawlessness and a lack of decisive leadership across the spectrum
This has raised concerns that Monday’s planned shutdown could lead to violence, destruction of property and loss of life, similar to the 2021 July unrest.

I believe that this crisis cannot be resolved by using the proposed approach of a shutdown. Ours is to preserve the economy and protect the sustainability of businesses.
The threat of a national shutdown has the potential to encourage acts of violence and potential vandalism on property and businesses, which is unlawful.
Technically, it’s also a form of intimidation to the highest degree, and displaying an intention to commit violence and intimidation is a criminal offence. I firmly believe, if left unchecked and not acted upon by the government with urgency, it will send out the wrong message and give criminals the licence to loot, intimidate and destroy.
