High-risk areas and roads to avoid during EFF's "national shutdown"

Two prominent South African private security companies have warned about the potential for violence and damage to property during the EFF's upcoming "shutdown" protest next week.

South Africa's third-biggest political party is planning to hold a mass protest against the country's energy crisis, unemployment, and poor service delivery from midnight on Monday, 20 March 2023. It is also calling for the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
 
One of the reporters asking Malema questions yesterday (probably an SABC lackey) asked about Johan Booysen and Fidelity; harping on about the discredited Sunday Times make believe of Cato Manor Death Squads. I didn't hear Malema answer her. I understand Fidelity were "quite active" in protecting property during the ANC RET inspired KZN looting. Unlike SAPS who mostly stayed home, scratched fat bellies and counted their allocated 10 rounds of ammunition, although some did join in the looting, others joined in stopping it. Highly trained and organised.
 
This is just an all out marketing show for them.

I don't think they really believe in anything except as for how much they can "eat". They are jealous that the cANCer is"feasting" and they can't join in.

They have shown time and time again that they can't build up anything. The only thing they can do is to break down and create chaos. That is what they thrive on. And in doing so, they get publicity and more of the people that can't think for themselves follow them.
 
The two firms warned about the following possible impacts that the protest could have in South Africa:

  • Most national highways might be blocked with rocks and burning tyres; other roads could also be barricaded
  • Trucks may not be able to travel freely, impacting delivery schedules
  • Harbours could be locked down, impeding trade
  • Train tracks or railway infrastructure may be damaged, having a long-term impact on delivery schedules
  • Public transport like taxis, buses and trains may become inaccessible
  • Escalation of violence is possible if confrontations with police occur
  • Clashes between security officers and protesters could happen, should business premises come under threat
  • Transportation of coal by the mining sector is expected to be targeted
  • Possibility of racial tensions playing out in Cape Town and KwaZulu-Natal
