Johannesburg - Prince Kaybee, real name is Kabelo Motsamai, is among a list of celebrities who have been openly demonstrating support for the national shutdown.
Motsamai, who is known to not shy away from speaking his mind, pointed out issues that the country is grappling with, saying it was impossible to continue to overlook the grave matters.
The music star let fans know on his Twitter account that he would join the march to make his voice heard.
"We can’t continue as if all is normal; all South Africans who are pained and annoyed by the state of our country should support the #NationalShutdown."
"People are dying in hospitals, and small businesses are closing down due to load shedding. Crime is high; people get slaughtered in the streets with no justice."
"Inflation is increasing food prices, and people are losing their jobs. Roads are riddled with potholes, and some are forced to drink dirty water while others don't even have water to drink."
"Getting in my workers’ attire and joining the protest. See yall in the streets."
The march, initiated by the EFF, has spread across the country, creating a divide as some people throw criticism while others show their support.
"We call on all protestors to be careful of agent provocateurs who will try and hijack or undermine this protest action by engaging in any form of violence.
"No one, not even the police, has the right to undermine a peaceful demonstration or protest. Thus, we call on all protestors of the national shutdown to defend themselves from anyone who provokes them with violence," tweeted the EFF.
