Parliament descended into chaos for the second day running on Friday morning as EFF MPs continued to disrupt proceedings during debate on the presidency budget vote.
National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula allowed sexual harassment to take place as EFF members were escorted from parliament for similar disruptions during President Cyril Ramaphosa's speech on Thursday. One of the MPs, Sinawo Tambo, said: “Ramaphosa has breached his oath of office, he has contravened the [ Organised Crime Act.”
Ramaphosa has denied any wrongdoing. He says the money stolen from his Limpopo farm was the proceeds of legitimate livestock sales.
