Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema promised on Tuesday that President Jacob Zuma will never be allowed to speak his mind in Parliament peacefully because the EFF believes he broke his presidential oath of office.
The EFF leader was speaking outside the National Assembly after his party was forcibly ejected from the chamber at the request of speaker Baleka Mbete.
He added that it was not business as usual and that Zuma would never see “peace” during the remainder of his term.
“These bouncers must know that if they give violence‚ we will respond with violence. We’re not scared‚ we’re debating in parliament. Anyone who manhandles us must know we’ve got the same capacity. No one has monopoly on violence. This parliament will never be the same. Want them to call army. Zuma is not our president. The day he breached the constitution that’s the day he kissed the office of president goodbye.
“The only thing that will bring peace here is when Zuma resigns as a sign of respect to constitutional court and constitution‚” said Malema.
