Detractors of the EFF’s planned nationwide shutdown and calls for him to be halted, said Julius Malema, were harming his right to protest.
“He must kiss his mother goodbye in the morning,” the red-bellied leader said.
Malema criticized Nhlanhla Lux, who pledged to defend the nation, stop the shutdown, and support Ramaphosa.
They threaten me daily on social media. You’ll speak when I threaten violence. I’ll defend myself if the media or police won’t. “Nobody can take my right to demonstrate,” Malema remarked.
He held a news conference before the party’s March 20 nationwide shutdown.
“Why would you assume there will be violence on the day if you are not planning it?” The DA understands they will use force and provocateurs. “We are vigilant and ready for their people on that day.”
Malema promised key service workers protection and workplace access.
Police, nurses, and health workers “Our structures will cooperate to keep all clinics and hospitals running.”
The demonstration would support the National Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) strike, and the party would not attack unions.
The red berets’ leader said the EFF met with the South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) to warn cab drivers of demonstrators on the road.
Since we’re all in the same class, we advised them not to fight with the cabs. “The working class fighting among itself pleases capital and does not serve either of us,” Malema stated.
The EFF leader said the event has no beginning or end.
Fighters everywhere will congregate and protest. It has no road or conveyance. They will protest that day like they do in their villages. Protest, not march. Formula-less.
If it’s a center, we’ll meet at the Union Buildings. The local EFF branch must demonstrate that they must be heard.
“If they want to be heard at the stock exchange, they must occupy and protest there to show white money that as they grow their shares and monies, a lot of people are being left behind. “Let’s go to parliament, a legislative council, a harbor, or the border gates,” Malema stated.
Fighters, be peaceful, but don’t put up with crap. No matter who He advised, He advised caution.
