We all knew it was coming, the moment the EFF put their foot down and made a stand, but I didn’t know there would be a catchy new chant to rally around.
“Zupta Must Fall” rang out around the chambers of parliament last night, Julius and his merry band of revolutionaries halting procedures for close to an hour before it was time to make their exit.
That video up top pretty much sums it up but here’s more from TimesLive:
When several members were asked to leave the chamber for disrupting proceedings‚ EFF leader Julius Malema jumped up and stated: “You are our of order because you cannot expel people for speaking in this house. We are not going to allow that. This is so undemocratic. They listened to you and they went to sit down. Now you have just called them from nowhere. It’s incorrect. It’s unacceptable.
“You are prepared to remove the whole party which has been elected by the people in defence of one man. Zuma is no longer a president that deserves respect from anyone. He has stolen from us. He has collapsed the economy of South Africa. He has made this country a joke and after that he has laughed at us.
“We cannot allow Zupta to do as he pleases in this country. We are not going to allow that. We are doing what we are doing because we don’t recognise [Zuma] as our president. He is not our president.”
That second paragraph though – well played Julius, now you’re talking sense.
