DA leader John Steenhuisen announced on Saturday the party’s plan to protest outside Luthuli House.
The ANCYL said the governing party was part of millions of South Africans calling for an end to load-shedding.
“We want to issue a stern warning to the DA that should they continue with their planned march, they will find us there,” the ANCYL statement read. The youth league said it would lead the DA to Eskom, “where we must all get answers and solutions to end load-shedding”. It blamed minister of public enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan for some of the power utility’s failures, adding that he should be released from his duties.“Another party shouldn’t march to another party; in case you are not good with direction, the seat of power is at the Union Building, not Luthuli House. Be warned,” Malema said.
Meanwhile, some social media users have been posting an old video showing ANC supporters beating up people in red T-shirts outside Luthuli House.The purpose of this is to get media coverage and link the ANC to loadshedding. It’s not meant to solve anything. Luthuli House is the most effective location for those purposes.
