MORE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY NONSENSE…
The disgruntled politicians weren’t ready to let Cyril Ramaphosa deliver his speech on the Presidency’s Budget Vote for 2022. Those present in the chambers routinely raised points or order, before hurling insults towards the head of state and interrupting others.
The altercations pushed the start time of the president’s speech back, and the House Speaker struggled to regain control on Thursday. Resorting to drastic measures, security was called in to remove the EFF members from their seats in Parliament.
