DA welcomes Gauteng High Court interdict of EFF national shutdown violence
18 March 2023
The Democratic Alliance (DA) welcomes the judgement by the Gauteng High Court this morning which has interdicted the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) from violating the rights of South Africans to work, go to school, and trade, by any means of intimidation, violence, or coercion, on the party’s planned national shutdown on Monday 20 March 2023.
This interdict will strengthen the arm of South Africa’s law enforcement bodies and security services to uphold the law on the national shutdown.
Most notably, we welcome the judgement which states that EFF members, employees and officials are interdicted and prohibited from:
shutting down schools, retail stores, businesses, trade and public roads;
