EFF MPs must apologise to Ramaphosa and be suspended, initiator argues at hearing
--:--
Suspend EFF members who disrupted the state of the nation address (Sona) in February because they do not take it seriously, initiator Anton Katz SC told a parliamentary hearing. He suggested they be suspended from 6th of February 2024 to 16th February 2024.
The EFF members are leader Julius Malema, deputy leader Floyd Shivambu, secretary-general Marshall Dlamini, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, Vuyani Pambo and spokesperson Sinawo Tambo.
Katz submitted they should be found guilty of violating National Assembly rules and should apologise to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The hearing started on Monday. The members and their legal counsel walked out of proceedings yesterday when the committee rejected their applications to appoint a judge to hear the proceedings and asked for these to be postponed to January next year.
The MPs were represented by advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi.
