The Citizen reports that the ANCYL Greater Tshwane region maintains they have applied to the City of Tshwane for their planned mass shutdown on Friday, but Tshwane metro police (TMPD) only approved an application from a group called “All Tshwane Vat Alles Employees”.
A TMPD spokesperson said: “The request by ‘All Tshwane Vat Alles Employees’ received a thorough consideration which followed by an approval, granted by TMPD. The TMPD has noted information doing the rounds about another protest action by ANCYL scheduled for Friday… In respect of this march, no application was received from ANCYL as the law dictates, therefore, the publicized protest will be treated as illegal in the event it takes place as professed.” Flyers have been circulating on social media of a #TshwaneShutdown by the ANCYL on Friday, to demand the reinstatement of 11,000 Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) Vat Alles workers, the appointment of thousands of security guards who were left unemployed last year when a contract between the city and contracted security companies came to an end, the cutting down of high rental rates and an end to harassment of informal traders.
