Watch | Parliament descends into chaos again, forcing speaker to suspend proceedings
Seconds after Ramaphosa took the podium to reply to questions on the budget vote that took place on Thursday, EFF MP and spokesperson Sinawo Tambo raised a point of order. What followed was a repeat of what had happened on Thursday when Ramaphosa’s budget vote speech was delayed for an hour due to EFF MP’s repeatedly calling for a point of order.For an hour, on Friday, there was back and forth between Mapisa-Nqakula and EFF MPs.
Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, following the revelations of alleged theft at Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm, EFF leader Julius Malema warned that the party would use any opportunity to prevent the president from speaking publicly. “Everywhere and anywhere we find or see Ramaphosa and we have an opportunity to stop him from speaking in the name of South Africa, we will do so. We call upon all the fighters and the ground forces to start treating Ramaphosa as such,” said Malema.
