Malema has cried wolf before and EFF MP must be prosecuted after assaulting policeman
11 February 2019
The FF Plus strongly condemns the incident in which an EFF Member of Parliament, Marshall Dlamini, assaulted a policeman in the Parliamentary buildings after the SONA last week Thursday.
Police members are deployed at Parliament by the senior management of the Police Service to offer protection and the assault on the policeman, warrant officer Johan Carstens, only goes to show that the EFF is undermining and challenging the authority of the Police.
The FF Plus will keep a close eye on the case to ensure that Dlamini is indeed criminally prosecuted. The party will also lodge an official complaint against Dlamini with Parliament's Ethics Committee because his behaviour is absolutely unacceptable.
Members of Parliament are supposed to support police members and encourage them to do their jobs properly. Ultimately, police members are there with the sole purpose of protecting the Members of Parliament.
