Twitter users reacted to a reminder by the EFF of the #Nationalshutdown on March 20. The shutdown is to demand the fixing of the electricity crisis and the resignation of Cyril Ramaphosa.

@Brahlonisky

Malema’s salary is not affected by load shedding, even if the Portfolio Committee meeting is postponed. He does not miss debit orders at the end of the month. He is leading the #Nationalshutdown for an ‘ice-cream entrepreneur’ whose business is melting away.

@Rmalakeng

Struggle proponents turned hustlers (ANC) are on near- flat mode. Their tyrannical conduct to silence dissenting voices that reconnects the masses to the mission to achieve absolute freedom is their only option to slow their slide. Victory is certain.

@Africaisblack

There is no longer a government in South Africa. We cannot fold our arms and do nothing about it. #Nationalshutdown. #20March2023.

@Umntungabantu

A part of me wants to think you are just another politician looking for power. However, the hate and embarrassment you go through signals that your heart could be indeed with the people for the people.

@Umalumewabantu

No SA politician wants these people near them, not even Malema. But the same politicians are forcing the poor citizens to integrate with them. Why do poor citizens give politicians so much power?

@thaboletlhabile

This must be a joke. No political party can politicise shutdowns. This is as if you care about us people. Shutdowns can only be organised by non-political organizations. I will be at work that day unless we will be off.

@masixole_l

Parts of Naturena are nearing five days without electricity. People are throwing out groceries and children are taking cold baths in 2023. You have the Gauteng premier wanting to pay for a millionaire’s funeral using people’s money. The people are calling Mr Malema.

@Hobbescat

Your slogan for the shutdown is, “The people must govern.” Directly cribbed from the UDF of old and the Freedom Charter. What this means is not shutdowns and violent protests. It means winning at the polls. If you want to govern, then do the proper work.

@Ronaldphiri01

Can the EFF have a warm-up march for Valentine’s Day, where I am mysteriously kidnapped during the march and found at my crush’s house the next day and my woman asks why there are roses at my crush’s place? We can say it was part of the kidnappers’ ransom.

We will go to work and no one will stop me and the rest of Mzansi going to work. We are working for our family, not swindlers and political corrupt party officials. We understand ourselves, where we come from and where we are going.
