Julius Malema Calls For Mass Action In South Africa

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called on mass action on 20th March in the entire South Africa. Malema says all the angry and frustrated South Africans from all walks of life to come out and  take to the streets for the what he termed as National Shutdown.

In a video he posted on his social media platform, Malema called on everyone who is unemployed, concerned about load shedding, crime, corruption, and gender-based violence, to join the shutdown to show that they are tired.

“Now is the time to take action. The streets are calling, we have to occupy all the streets of South Africa. Wherever you are, make your voice be heard,” he said.

He added that many students in higher learning institutions are facing learning difficulties and thus need to have a demonstration for action from government to take place.

“Its not a privilege to be educated, its their right, yet when they stand up and say, we demand education, they shoot them.”

The outspoken South African Opposition leader has also asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign  immediately.

“Ramaphosa has stuffed a lot of money under his mattresses and sofas, yet our people are sleeping hungry…. The man is not loyal to his oath of office, enough is enough, we cannot have a president that presides over a collapsed state,” he said.
