City of Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and Western Cape Premier Alan Winde have voiced their concerns over the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF’s) planned national shutdown set to take place on March 20. The EFF announced that it will protest continuing loadshedding and it will call for President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign.

Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says the city will apply for a precautionary high court interdict against any attempt to incite or take part in looting, vandalism or disruptions related to the planned national shutdown by the EFF on March 20.

The City of Cape Town has filed an urgent application to interdict the EFF's national shutdown planned for 20 March.

The metro’s mayor said that this was to ensure participants in the shutdown on 20 March stayed within the confines of the law.

The EFF is facing two interdicts ahead of its planned ‘national shutdown’ next week. While municipalities in the Western Cape agree on a right to protest, they say violence, threats of intimidation and looting would not be tolerated.
