South African authorities have requested Twitter to take down a video that reportedly incites violence against those who will not participate in protest marches planned for 20 March.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The opposition party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is organizing nationwide marches to protest the country’s power crisis and has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Film and Publication Board (FPB) said the video warns that any pupil wearing school uniform during the protests will be beaten up, as well as teachers and police officers.<\/p>\n

The video was posted by a person claiming to be a member of EFF, it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternally, the FPB shall monitor the take-down by Twitter to ensure that no further dissemination or distribution by the public occurs,” the board said.<\/p>\n
