Africa, our Africa! When will we stop reading stories of fighting and violence in parliament and senates in African countries?
On the 9th of February 2017, South African President Jacob Zuma was slated to give his State of the Nation address at the parliament. However, things took a turn when opposition party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), decided to speak up, as usual, against the President at the joint sitting event. The party called Zuma a constitutional delinquent and accused him of breaking the law.
The Chairperson of the House, Thandi Modise, tried to snuff out the voice of the opposition. When she did not succeed, she invited security officials to take them out of the House.
Watch the brouhaha here – with Julius Malema gesturing and emphatically making his point.

Its a pity some journalist in africa refuse to mature and act professionally. They only do comic relief journalism. shame on immature africa journalist.
The first paragraph of the story shows the mental maturity of the editor or writer of the story - very infantile, pessimistic and negative. The writer gave no indication of fights in other Africa countries, yet he/she goes ahead to condemn the continent. Is the writer also aware of brawls in the Parliaments of Turkey, Ukraine, South Korea, Japan, Argentina, Bolivia, Georgia etc.? Are those countries also in Africa? It is professional to just report on the story and stop the irritating judgmental sentiments.
