What's happening in South Africa
The opposition party in South Africa, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has called for a nationwide shutdown on March 20 against the country's power crisis and has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign.
The South African police said this protests scheduled for Monday are not just a shutdown, but an active bid to overthrow the government.
According to a BBC report, the police said they had not received notices of any planned gatherings in the province, adding that over 18,000 security officers would be deployed during the march.
President Ramaphosa on Thursday warned that anarchy will not be tolerated during the protests and called on security forces to "defend our people".
