SowetanLive reports that a number of leading businesses in East London were forced to shut their doors on Tuesday when EFF supporters marched to their premises protesting against alleged exploitation of workers by these companies.
The political party‚ which is rallying support for its fifth birthday bash at Sisa Dukashe stadium on Saturday‚ warned that it was on a roll and that more businesses would be receiving “visits” from the EFF protesters. Videos of hundreds of people draped in EFF regalia singing and dancing in front of the businesses went viral on social media. The demonstrations came after workers from 35 East London companies filed complaints with the party led by firebrand Julius Malema‚ who has been whipping up support in the metro.
