Truth and Solidarity Movement president, Mehmet Vefa Dag, called for the national shutdown to take place this morning.

"From 5am in the morning, we are shutting down the entire country. There will be no movement around the country... All the schools must be shut down. Senzo Mchunu must step down," he said.

Dag went on to say that the principal of Bergview College must be arrested.

"If you're not going to help us, we will fight by all means on behalf of South Africa. I am urging Senzo Mchunu to step down. This country is not alone. Our people are not alone. We as South Africans are standing united against injustice, inequalities, pedophiles, rapists, thieves, killers. Enough is enough," he added.
