Re: BREAKING NEWS: Chaos In South African Parliament - CNN by Surplus90(m): 5:16pm On Nov 14, 2014
A volatile sitting of the National Assembly ended
abruptly and in tears, with fists flying as public
order police dragged a female Economic Freedom
Fighters (EFF) MP, Ngwanamakwetle Mashabela,
out of the chamber on Thursday night, after she
labelled President Jacob Zuma a thief and a
criminal during a debate.
Four opposition MPs were injured in the scuffle.
The presence of police in the chamber, while the
House is in session, is a violation of the Powers,
Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and
Provincial Legislatures Act, which prohibits the
police from being in Parliament unless they have
been instructed to be there by the speaker, her
deputy or any other of the presiding officers.
Section 58 of the Constitution prohibits criminal
or civil procedures from being brought against
MPs for what they say in Parliament, and forbids
their arrest in such matters. It is not clear who
called the police.
Mashabela was delivering her speech in a debate
about the treaty on the Grand Inga Hydropower
project . In it, she repeatedly referred to Zuma as
a thief.
“President Zuma is a thief. He is a criminal. He is
the greatest thief in the world,” said Mashabela.
ANC MP and house chairperson Cedric Frolick,
who was presiding over the session, ordered
Mashabela to withdraw her comments about
Zuma. After her refusal to withdraw, he ordered
her to leave the House.

This wasn't different from what happened in Rivers state HOAgrin
Atlwireles, there is high possibility same thing will result after APC primary elections. Atiku is as much desperate as Buhari, none wants to give up for the other, Kwankwaso has ab.o.ki(nawao a.b.oki is now sensoredgrin) tendencies, he might show-case it if the odds come against him.grin

Pdpidiots hailing what happened here,without knowing the precedent.
The woman just baited the "monster" into an overreaction and at the end will win public sympathy.
Her accusations might even be seen to have some truths to it judging by the reaction it elicited.
Wise political move from EFF MP.
EFF is headed by Julius Malema,a former youth leader of the ANC(SA President's party) .

How about discussing things of national interest like the incident at the Nigerian parliament wherein parliamentarians were flying on top of the gate plus soldiers who prevented the speaker to enter the assembly...Surely nobody is interested

That is the sign of amatured democracy. This is peculiar in Africa
