Julius Malema held a press briefing on Thursday after a busy week for the EFF leader.
He said Russian leader Vladimir Putin is welcome in South Africa and if it is necessary, he and the EFF will drive Putin from the airport to his meetings and back again in a show of solidarity.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for Putin on Friday, accusing him of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. However, the Kremlin has said an arrest would amount to a declaration of war against Russia.
Malema said the national shutdown was a success and the disruption on Monday achieved its objective.
