Crackdown on EFF at #SONA2017

[schumi]

Cape Town – Speaker Baleka Mbete and National Council of Provinces chairperson Thandi Modise have promised to deal firmly with any disruptions by the EFF on Thursday.

The EFF has promised to disrupt President Jacob Zuma’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) as the party did not recognise him as head of state.

But Modise and Mbete told journalists on Wednesday they would not tolerate any disruptions in the chamber. However, they maintained everything would be done in accordance with the rules of Parliament and the law.

Parliament has employed dozens of security officers to eject EFF MPs if they cause disruptions.

Modise said that despite receiving warnings via the media, they hoped EFF MPs would behave themselves.

“Are we anticipating any out-of-the-way behaviour and what are the measures? We are hoping the proceedings will go according to plan,” said Modise.

But Parliament was busy redrafting the rules to tighten them to deal with unruly MPs.

“The National Assembly is revisiting the rules because our rules did not anticipate certain behaviours,” said Modise.
