TimesLIVE reported that the EFF MPs were kicked out of Parliament chambers at the Cape Town City Hall after Speaker of Parliament Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula ordered them to stop raising points of order.

ANC chief whip uses Sona debate to address the conduct of MPs

During the Sona debate, Majodina mentioned that the behaviour of certain MPs was unacceptable and needed to be addressed.

Without mentioning the EFF by name, Majodina stated that their conduct at Sona needs to be condemned and the joint rules committee must take action.

She said South Africa is not a violent nation and such lawlessness cannot be tolerated, reports PowerFM.

“These few parliamentarians are an embarrassment to the country and the nation because we are not a violent nation. We know how to process our issues,” said Majodina.
