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.
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.
