Calls for President Ramaphosa's Resignation Spark Protests in South Africa

Thousands of protesters marched through South Africa's cities on Monday, calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign over the lack of jobs and electricity, as security forces guarded malls and streets to prevent any violence and looting. The EFF party, whose supporters are mainly poor Black South Africans who feel marginalized since the ANC ended white minority rule in 1994, called for a national shutdown. With a third of South Africans out of work, analysts expect the ANC to lose its parliamentary majority for the first time in three decades in national elections next year.
