March and March
While acting police minister Firoz Cachalia is on a mission to scuttle what he says are plans by anti-foreigner groups to destabilise the country on Tuesday, March and March said it had never called for a national shutdown.
Speaking to IOL on Wednesday morning, hours before her midday press conference, March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma said: "Nobody even said this whole thing is a shutdown, but for some reason the government is making everyone nervous.
"We haven't even said anything, yet they've already spent R600m, and God knows for what.
"So for the police to put R600m aside is something we will address in our press conference.
