Party members warned shops and factories to shut down to avoid looting on the day of the shutdown. 3 474 members of the South African National Defence Force were deployed across South Africa to assist the police with crime prevention until the 17th of April, which will cost tax payers R166 562 058. They accused the President of corruption because he failed to declare to customs the sum of $580 000 (R10 312 893.00) which was found under his mattresses and later stolen in his farm Phala Phala located in Bela - Bela, Limpopo. The President claims that the money is from proceeds of "Ankole Cattles or Buffalos" he sold to a Sudanese businessman Hazim Mustafa, which are yet to be delivered to him.
