Thousands marched through the streets of South Africa's cities on Monday to demand that President Cyril Ramaphosa resign, as security forces guarded malls and roads to prevent violence and looting.
The Marxist Economic Freedom Fighters party, whose supporters are mainly poor and working class Black South Africans who feel marginalised since the governing African National Congress ended white minority rule in 1994, had called for a national shutdown.
In the central Woodstock area of Cape Town, most of the shops and banks were operating normally, however, there was a notable increase in security personnel along the thoroughfare. South African security forces said on Monday that 87 people had been arrested in the last 12 hours over public violence ahead of planned protests.
