The EFF has called for a national shutdown across South Africa on the 20th of March 2023.
SAFTU and their 24 trade union affiliates which span across numerous sectors will be joining the protest.
The aim of the protest is to bring light to socio-economic issues that are trampling the South African economy, including load shedding.?They plan to shut down road networks, and the flow of services and goods. Taxi association has also expressed their support, which will mean the largest part of South African public transport will be shutdown on the 20th of March 2023.

Further to this the EFF have indicated that should companies and stores remain open they( the EFF) will not be held liable for any looting, therefore this creates an expedition that looting, violence and theft may occur on Monday the 20th March 2023.
The protest has been approved by NEDLAC making it a protected protest. Workers have a right to participate in the protest, but the no-work-no-pay principle will apply.
