  1. The judiciary in SA is captured. They respond to WMC which is now protecting their proxy Ramaphosa. Remember, with Zuma, no matter whatever evidence, the courts never ruled in favour of him. They even took away his presidential powers several times. EFF were supporting that bias at the time. They are now suffering from that bias. What goes around comes around

  2. You are unruly and act irresponsible, but when actions are taken against you. You run to court and expect sane judges to protect your insane actions, these must be madness of the highest grade. I think, it's time parliament pass the law MPs randomly go for drugs test
    I think some MPs must be in rehab instead of parliament

  3. The EFF is the 3rd largest political party in SA and it represents most of our African people so preventing them from parliamentary sessions it is an insult to all of us the EFF represent. They can't be suspended on bases of making Ramaphosa accountable he is not above the law. The EFF has the right to demonstrate and protest in a parliament as the parliament is the highest platform for such robust debates and protests to take place. So, you are talking nonsense by saying that we should be excluded in the parliament. It doesn't belong to the ANC but it belongs to the people proportionally represented in that parliament. The matter was dismissed on technical bases NOT on merit of the application, remember we can still pursue the matter otherwise.

  4. Don't know if south Africa can't see the crooks keep the EFF out of parliament so that the truth can't come out,I bet you guys the ANC is winning this election ones again ramaphosa know what his doing,

  5. Look I will never vote for the ANC and I have never voted for it, but if the EFF thinks that it will recognize the Constitution and procedures guiding the parliment they are members of; and then think they can storm the podium and cause chaos, then they must face the repurcussions of their actions.

  6. Majority abused. Whether it makes sense or not. The majority win. Can't the rules, laws be changed in favor of fairness and justice? By protecting the president, the ruling party is doing same mistake they did ever since they came into power. Where is fikile? He should be protecting the eff, now rather than to cry foul after decades.

  7. This is a danger we should expect in the next 5yrs with DA and Anc coalition, Those who think reducing Anc numbers will force them to work with other black party , Mk will be shock to see Anc rejecting them , This Zuma plan will backfire . Ramaphosa will push working with DA .

  8. So the EFF think it is proper to storm the podium? As a citizen, I have a right to hear the state of the nation address. If the EFF and its supporters do not want to hear it, it is their choice. They should stay out and switch off the TV, Radio stations and any platform they may hear it. The president in parliament represent the country not the party so he must be engaged properly.

  9. Parliament is for esteemed and honourable members to respectfully and intelligently discuss matters relating to citizens needs. But those of a low intellect chose it to demonstrate their levels of low intellect hooliganism… and shamefully they act now again as the victims.. what an insult to South Africans again… and demonstrating their criminal contempt

  10. Zikalala is by far the most neutral analysts that we have. Under anc government, natural justice doesn't exist. You charge people you become the judge, prosecutor and a witness.

  11. But the EFF is also abusing the point of order rule for reasons known to them. They have been irritating us for too long and majority of us are happy that they are punished this time.
