‘This is civil war’: SA is now just DAYS away from a National Shutdown
SAFTU, the trade union with almost one million members, will lead a National Shutdown this month – with class warfare high on their agenda.
August 12, 2022 by Tom Head
The South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU) is preparing to wield its enormous power later this month, by leading the proposed National Shutdown. The countrywide protest, supported by political institutions such as the EFF and PAC, threatens to bring Mzansi to its knees.
When will the next National Shutdown take place?
Wednesday 24 August has been scheduled as the date for mass industrial action. That’s just 12 days from now. SAFTU has over 800 000 members, and with many of these representatives expected to take part in direct strike action, South Africa will certainly find it difficult to function.
There have been a few attempts to create a National Shutdown in 2022, with only modest degrees of success to report. These proposals from SAFTU, however, appear to be the real deal. South Africans intending to commute, travel or work on the 24th are advised to plan ahead.

Re: Trouble Brewing
What seems strange this time around is the time of the planned shutdown. As per a poster "23rd afternoon 18.00 until the evening of the 24th.

Re: Trouble Brewing
"End rampant crime and violence in SA, by arresting more perpetrators."
I assume when the looting starts they will go willingly to their nearest police station to hand themselves over...

I've seen a few of the images doing the rounds now, purporting to come from different organisations, all calling for the same thing.
But there have been so many of these attempts to do a national shutdown, that I take any calls with a large handful of salt.
It's not the punch you see coming that knocks you out, it's the one you don't see.
So be prepared at all times, and you'll minimize your exposure to risk.

Re: Trouble Brewing
Many such protest actions planned this year have failed. No work no pay !!! Middle class citizens i.m.o. don't support such protest actions. The political parties, etc rely on the 1000's of unemployed to support their course
