EFF defends Maimane after Zuma thief comment─── 07:34 Wed, 18 Mar 2015
Cape Town - EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has defended DA Parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane after he called President Jacob Zuma a thief, saying Parliament cannot undermine the Constitutional Court.
Maimane made the comments as he opened the debate in the National Assembly on a motion of no confidence in Zuma. ANC MPs and Speaker of the House, Baleka Mbete demanded he withdraw his remarks.
But, Ndlozi and other opposition MPs have argued that the Constitutional Court has confirmed that it's fair comment to refer to the president as such.
