Orphan Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 18 November 2014BACKGROUND: The South African National Assembly disintegrates into a free-for-all, for the third time in a month. The Speaker (a Lethuli House puppet) again loses control. and the Sergeant-at-Arms orders the Parliamentary Security to evict the unruly MPs. They refuse, and stand at the door watching as the mayhem unfolds. The police take over, and enter the Chamber in full riot gear. MPs are manhandled, desks are broken, and the constitutional sovereignty of Parliament goes out the window.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
