EFF reacts to choas in FS Legislature─── 12:37 Mon, 25 May 2015
Bloemfontein - The Economic Freedom Fighters in the Free State are going to get legal advice on the powers of the speaker of the Free State Legislature, Mamiki Qabathe.
This, after she ordered one of its MPLs to leave the house because he was not dressed “appropriately”.
This is according to the provincial leader of the party, Kgotso Morapela. Qabathe ordered Jacob Tshabalala to leave the house during a sitting last week Thursday and had to adjourn when he refused to leave.
Morapela said the party was quite surprised that when national parliament and other provincial legislatures made a noise about the red overalls, the Free State was quiet, just to raise the issue now.
Morapela said the party is also going to write a formal letter to Qabathe to get clarity on the matter.
