ANC notes EFF shutdown 'with concern'

National spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri says the shutdown is the clearest demonstration that the EFF has no interest in building a cohesive nation that invests its collective will towards the development and growth of the country.

There was nothing revolutionary about the EFF march, she added, calling it a populist effort that seeks to promote lawlessness and a feeble attempt to invoke the Arab Spring Revolution mindset.

“Our people should not be hoodwinked into supporting anarchy and violence under the pretext of service delivery. We are confident that peace-loving South Africans who have a genuine interest in advancing our development will not support this shutdown.” “The economic reconstruction and recovery plan requires all South Africans to rally behind government’s efforts to bolster the economy, while fighting the scourge of poverty and unemployment.”
