Now We’re Going To Have Bouncers In Our Parliament

We know that things can get pretty unruly when Jacob Zuma takes questions in parliament so it's not surprising that security is being seriously beefed up.

This afternoon will see Jacob Zuma field questions from MPs in Parliament and we all know how these things generally end.

With that in mind it is no surprise that Parliament is beefing up its security measures in preparation for what should be another fiery affair, last night seeing a host of newly appointed security personnel practise their methods. TimesLive reports:

…individuals with newly issued parliamentary staff permits practised how to eject supposedly unruly elements from the National Assembly.

Earlier, the burly “bouncers”, believed to number 30, were seen being issued with parliamentary permits and word quickly spread that they would be used to kick out Economic Freedom Fighters members should they try to disrupt proceedings .

Sources confirmed the individuals were either former or current members of the SA Police Service.

Leading the assault on JZ will be dear Julius, having recently seen the charges against him struck from the roll in the Polokwane High Court. Nkandla will once again be front and centre:

A hint of what might happen was unwittingly given by Nkandla ad-hoc committee chairman Cedric Frolich yesterday.

“I don’t care what happens in the House tomorrow afternoon. We will reconvene the meeting immediately after the presidential question-and-answer session,” he said.

I’m pretty sure we can expect fireworks when the questioning kicks off later today, let’s just hope that Zuma is forced to answer one or two pressing questions before it descends into utter chaos.
