 South African security forces are on high alert amid threats of a national shutdown announced for Monday. A statement issued by the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure claims that law enforcement agencies have already implemented measures to ensure safety and security of all South Africans in the face of possible riots. The agency says it is aware of inflammatory messages on various social media platforms that advocate for violence. The planned shutdown is coming at a time South Africa is still under COVID-19 Alert Level 3, which requires maximum compliance with health regulations and protocols. 13,261 new infections were reported on Sunday.
