JOHANNESBURG - Chairs, water bottles and other objects were thrown between guests at the Gauteng State of the Province Address on Monday night.
A physical confrontation took place between Economic Freedom Fighters legislature members and beneficiaries of the Nasi Ispani programme. It started when the EFF caucus interrupted the premier’s speech on a point of order. EFF legislature caucus leader Phillip Makwela said they were feeling unsafe due to the presence of the Gauteng Crime Prevention Wardens - which he referred to as Lesufi’s military army.
This then caused a confrontation between the EFF members and the Nasi Ispani beneficiaries who had to be separated by security before coming into blows.Calm was later restored, allowing Lesufi to continue with the business of the house.
