South Africa arrests 87 before massive anti-government protest

Summary by Ground News

South African security forces say 87 people had been arrested in the last 12 hours across the country over public violence before planned protests by the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party. The EFF is the third largest party in South Africa. It has called for a national shutdown to demand the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa. The party draws support from poor and working-class South Africans who feel left out of the country's prosperity since the end of white minority rule.
