National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has ordered an investigation into allegations that female Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MPs were sexually assaulted during last week’s fracas with Parliamentary Protection Services (PPS) personnel. Last Thursday and Friday, the National Assembly convened for the presidency budget vote, delivered by President Cyril Ramaphosa, but was subjected to repeated points of orders by the EFF, who later violently clashed with security officials.
The EFF allege its members suffered gender-based violence in parliament last week, while two members of the Parliamentary Protection Services have opened cases against the party’s MPs.
