EFF political party leader Julius Malema reacts after having been taken out of Parliament during the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s keynote address in Parliament. The opposition lawmakers tried to block him from speaking. Walking out en masse, leftist opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), dressed in their trademark red overalls and worksuits, stormed the stage where Ramaphosa was waiting to deliver the speech. Armed security and police quickly jumped in and forced the MPs off stage. IMAGES
