Grand corruption/ South Africa

Protesters were thrown out of parliament in South Africa yesterday after they demanded that the president answer questions about a spending scandal.

An opposition party – the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters – challenged Jacob Zuma in an unprecedented sign of discontent at his administration about allegations of corruption.

EFF members – who were led by Julius Malema – began demanding that the president answer when he would repay part of a $23 million (£14 million) state-funded security upgrade of his rural home.
