Oh yeah, the joys of the South African parliament. Shenanigans, racial slurs and general lack of respect. It’s getting boring now, EFF. The time has come to work together for some real change.
Want to see how our country’s politicians debated the #FeesMustFall protests in parliament yesterday? Laugh-a-minute stuff this is.
You may have seen the videos of just how heated things became yesterday at parliament but some of these images are very jarring.
There’s a time and a place for everything, although having a few digs in the snout whilst sat in parliament will always draw attention.
If you think it’s just around these parts that parliament can turn ugly you best check out what went down in Japan. The cause does seem just though.
Yesterday saw another war of words between Juju and the house chairperson, this time ending with the EFF leader being forcibly removed from Parliament.
If you prefer your Parliamentary sittings more Coliseum and blood sports than well-construed political debate you would have liked this exchange from yesterday.
Things are set to heat up in Parliament today and there’s no reason you shouldn’t watch the shit hit the fan. You’re in luck.
We know that things can get pretty unruly when Jacob Zuma takes questions in parliament so it’s not surprising that security is being seriously beefed up.
We know that our parliament has turned into a circus of late but today is another one of those ‘has to be seen to be believed’ kind of scenarios. New record guys, well done.
The gloves are well and truly off after EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi went to town on the ruling party in a sustained verbal attack. Ding ding ding.
The finger-pointing regarding the xenophobic attacks extended into parliament when Julius took his opportunity to lay into JZ and his family.
Well it only took days, months and years but eventually South Africa (and the EFF) got their chance to ask JZ the question that has been uttered, chanted and screamed from rooftops around the country.
As we slowly come to terms with the farce that was SONA we can take some solace in the fact that we are not alone. Turkey, it seems, also enjoy a little parliamentary brawl.
Mbete apologises. Naspers unbundles print division. Obama says they’re not at war with Islam. Apple watch will make too much money. Vanilla Ice bust robbing a house. Metrorail app is pretty smart. Pinterest goes for $11 billion valuation.
Cellphone jamming issue goes to high court. Egypt retaliates for Christian slaughter. Mbeki’s Nkandla remarks were a ‘distortion.’ Load-shedding’s incredible losses. DSK prostitutes drop suit. New US drone laws. Riri and Leo back in the mix.
Anyone who watched the State of the Nation address on TV would have been aware that there was a LOT of action they ‘chose’ not to air. Like this video of the EFF being thrown out.
The day before the circus hits Parliament, ole JZ invited some guests to pay him a visit in Parliament, but first, Llama takes a selfie.
The ANC are obviously concerned at the ninja-like capabilities of the EFF party members, fearing a popular EFF accessory could be used as a weapon.
Parliament has been closed for a few weeks which has meant a quietening down of front page news regarding tantrums and chaos. It’s going to open with a blast during the SONA in Feb though.
It comes as a relieving surprise that we are not the only country with a National Assembly to rival a circus with the animals let loose (I am not calling the MP’s animals, I’m merely trying to… whatever).
King Richard III discovery changes everything. Russia warns of recession. ANC walkout of Cape Legislature. Convicted rapist escapes from court. Rolling Stone saxophonist dies. Hilux dethroned.
Our Parliament dogshow. ANCYL denied Afrikaans concert protest permission. Bill Cosby’s mess. Ex-Bok Visagie dies. Schumacher in wheelchair. Miss world contestant body found. Firefox drops Google search.
I think it is safe to say that any friendship that remained between Zuma and Malema is now over, what with threats from the EFF to the ANC.
It’s quit e big deal when the official opposition to the government OFFICIALLY refuses to recognise the National Assembly speaker. and that has just happened – watch this.
Two things could be discussed here: 1) Gun laws across the planet and 2) The threat and spread of Islamic State retaliation on anyone who doesn’t like them.
The porn industry – full of nakedness and erotica – still has to be hidden from the public eye, even though we all know it’s there.
Prepare for some more drama, as the bust of Nelson Mandela, which is located outside the parliament buildings, is said to have cost the government more than it should have.
EFF chaos in parliament. Net closing on beheading Brit. Pope calls Foley family. Obama taking it personally. Zuma’s son in court for crash and death. Media24 launches Afrikaans news site. Marco Pierre White restaurant drama.
Following the politician’s resignation and revelation of his false claims, it has been revealed where the idea of having a doctorate may have come from, and it is not a university… surprise surprise.
