Scuffles broke out during a meeting of the African Union parliament on Monday, as a week-long debate over the election of their new president boiled over.
In scenes of mayhem broadcasted on South Africa s national broadcaster SABC, lawmakers could be seen rushing to the floor, shouting at officials, to express their discontent.
Members of Parliament wrestled over a white ballot box located at the front of the room that was meant to hold the votes for the election of the Pan-African Parliament President.
Two women first fought over the box, trying to rip it out of each other s hands. Then, an enraged male lawmaker ripped off his suit jacket and aimed a kick in the direction of female member Pemmy Majodina of South Africa.
