gavel thumb100 City Press reports that the EFF has been interdicted from disrupting business at shopping centres in Gauteng during the national shutdown campaign set to take place on Monday.

The SA Property Owners Association (Sapoa) was granted an interdict order on Saturday after it instituted legal action against the red berets last week. It argued that the national shutdown could infringe on the constitutional right to conduct business. Judge John Adams of the Johannesburg High Court ruled that the EFF was prohibited from perpetrating acts of intimidation and violence during the march. “The first respondent (EFF), its office bearers and its members, as well as the second defendant (unknown members of the EFF), are interdicted and restrained from unlawfully interfering with, harassing, intimidating, threatening and assaulting in any way whatsoever, whether directly or indirectly, members of the public wishing to enter any commercial shopping centre,” Judge Adams ruled.
