Tempers flare between EFF, DA after Malema's speech in Parliament
17 September 2019
An assault-accused EFF MP had to be restrained by his colleagues as tempers flared between the EFF and DA in the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The incident occurred after EFF leader Julius Malema had introduced a debate about in-sourcing in the government.
Malema was walking back to his seat through the DA benches when he suddenly turned around and strode toward DA MP Ghaleb Cachalia and spoke to him, waving his hand in his face. It is unclear what was said between the two.
As presiding officer Madala Ntombela called for order, EFF MP Godrich Gardee also charged in Cachalia's direction, pointing his finger.
