Tight security for SONA amid EFF suspensions

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has suffered another legal setback after the Western Cape
High Court dismissed the party’s application with costs against the suspension of six of its Members
of Parliament (MPs), including leader Julius Malema.

Meanwhile, security measures have been put in place to ensure that the six suspended MPs do not
set foot in the Cape Town City Hall. President Cyril Ramaphosa will present his State of the Nation
Address (SONA) in the venue before the two houses of Parliament this evening.

Malema, Floyd Shivambu, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, Marshall Dlamini, Vuyani Pambo, and Sinawo Thambo
are suspended for the rest of this month for disrupting last year’s SONA.
