Some government leaders have warned that this will be an attempt to bring about anarchy and regime change through unconstitutional means.
While the main opposition, the Democratic Alliance (DA) has attempted to get the march halted at both the national level and in Cape Town, the red berets are calling for an end to load shedding and for president Cyril Ramaphosa to step down.
The EFF in its 10 years of existence has held several marches, but Monday’s one is expected to be different.
