EFF Leader Julius Malema while addressing
the media after being “manhandle” said seven of EFF members were injured and
one had to be taken to hospital. He
added that the people that threw them out were not Parliament security but in
fact presidential protection.
Meanwhile Minister in the Presidency Jeff
Radebe said government is disappointed and disgusted by the behaviour of EFF
MP’s in the house tonight.
Radebe said government condemns with the
strongest possible term the shameful conduct of the EFF members.
