Photos: Choas And Violence At South Africa SONA 2015


 The EFF had promised to ask Zuma about the Nkandla issue during his address and as soon as the president finished his greetings, EFF members rose to ask questions. Once Speaker Baleka Mbete tired of the interruption, she requested the Sergeant-at-Arms to ask EFF members to leave.

There was chaos in South Africa's Parliament as the EFF were forcefully evicted after interrupting President Zuma's State of the Nation Address.More pics of the choas after cut.....


The party refusing to leave, Mbete called for parliamentary officers and the security services to remove the party. Bodyguards surrounded the president.
 From all the entrances to the House, security officers dressed like waiters streamed in, moving towards the EFF.
 The officers violently restrained and removed the EFF members, some who put up a fight. The next few images speak for themselves. One EFF member was reportedly taken to hospital for a broken jaw.
 
 
 EFF leader Julius Malema and his deputy Floyd Shivambu were the last remaining party members as the number and force of the security officers meant they were able to force the others out of the National Assembly.
 Security grabbed both Malema and Shivambu...
 … Forcefully restrained them...
 … And literally pushed them out of the House...
 … The second they were driven out, there was a cheer from the ANC. And President Zuma, surrounded by his own security, chuckled.
