S'African Parliament throws out EFF members for blocking Zuma


Politicians from South African opposition party have been removed from parliament after they tried to block President Jacob Zuma from speaking.

The speaker ordered security officers to throw the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MPs out after they heckled and chanted "Zuma leave the house" during his first appearance in parliament since two damning court rulings against him.

This follows the ruling of a South African court that Zuma should be charged with corruption.

The case is related to a multi-billion dollar arms deal the government negotiated in 1999 but Zuma denies any wrongdoing, and says he will continue to "shepherd" the nation.

His term is due to end in 2019.
