EFF leader Julius Malema has called for a national shutdown to demand an end to the electricity crisis and the resgination of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Malema made these remarks while addressing the media on Sunday.
The shutdown is planned for 20 March.
"The national shutdown means that there will be no school, no university, factories and no business will be operating on that day. All municipalities and all major cities will be shut own and there will be no work on that day. All major roads will be barricaded and all ports of entry including roads that lead to borders will be closed.
"We cannot fold our arms and do nothing when the ANC government and Cyril Ramaphosa, who is involved in a lot of criminal and questionable dealings and yet protected by law enforcement agencies."
Malema said the EFF believes the time has come for South Africans demand their dignity and lives back.
"The EFF leadership will be engaging with all taxi associations to support the national shutdown and we encourage all our structures at all levels to engage taxi associations and all people to support the national shutdown.
"We call on all people of South Africa to join us in their numbers for the national shutdown to demand our dignity and lives back. We can never allow and should never allow to be led into the dark ages by an incompetent and useless president."
