JOHANNESBURG - Former Operation Dudula leader Nhlanhla Lux Dlamini called for citizens to protect malls and shops as the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) planned national shutdown draws closer.

Dlamini has threatened to have EFF leader Julius Malema arrested if the shutdown went against the boundaries of the law. The protest, in response to loadshedding and other issues plaguing the country, is expected to take place on Monday, 20 March.

However, the activist was quoted in TimesLIVE as encouraging citizens to protect their communities from the “EFF’sanarchists” threatening to collapse the country’s economy.
