EFF stood up with fists in the air and chanted 'Zupta must fall' after members were asked to leave the house in order to allow The State of The Nation to continue.

President Jacob Zuma was called "Mr Zupta" by EFF whip and secretary general Godrich Gardee earlier when he was given time to raise a point of order during the State of the Nation on Thursday.

"Zupta" is a reference to Zuma's close links with the influential Gupta family.
