Cabinet has condemned the disruption of the state-of-the-nation address as an insult to those who laid down their lives in the liberation struggle, Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe said on Thursday.
"Cabinet condemns the unruly and un-parliamentary conduct of some members of Parliament during the opening of Parliament," Radebe told a briefing following Cabinet's regular fortnightly meeting.
"It is disappointing that these elected public representatives chose to dishonour the sacrifices and struggle made to realised our hard-earned democracy."
Radebe added: "When people deliberately by their conduct disrupt Parliament that is very unparliamentary, so all those people who sacrificed their lives for freedom, even those who paid the supreme sacrifice, I am sure they are shaking in their graves."
