A fight broke out between members of the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) and members of the South African Police Service in Cape Town on Thursday, 10 February.
The Cape Town City Hall hosted the State of the Nation Address on Thursday after the National Assembly was gutted in a fire in January.
In a video, circulating on social media it can be seen how Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, Vuyani Pambo and several other members of the EFF were denied from entering the SONA venue. However, it is unclear what started the altercation.
