EFF leader Julius Malema has called on South Africans to take to the streets for the national shutdown on March 20.
EFF LEADER Julius Malema has called on angry and frustrated South Africans from all walks of life to take to the streets for the national shutdown next Monday, March 20.
Malema posted a video message on the party’s social media accounts calling on everyone who is unemployed, concerned about load shedding, crime, corruption, and gender-based violence, to join the shutdown to show that they are fed up.
“Now is the time to take action. The streets are calling, we have to occupy all the streets of South Africa. Wherever you are, make your voice be heard,” he said.
Addressing the education disparity, Malema said students in higher learning institutions are facing learning difficulties.
“It’s not a privilege to be educated, it’s their right, yet when they stand up and say, we demand education, they shoot them.”
Malema also called for President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down immediately.
“Ramaphosa has stuffed a lot of money under his mattresses and sofas, yet our people are sleeping hungry … The man is not loyal to his oath of office, enough is enough, we cannot have a president that presides over a collapsed state,” he said.
