ANC: Statement by Zizi Kodwa, ANC National Spokesperson, states that the EFF is a threat to democracy (22/08/2014)

This is an act of rebels mask as parliamentarians who are committed to
hijack our democracy, parliament and legislatures. EFF is not in
parliament to resolve or to engage robustly to solve any problem, but
there to cause destruction and anarchy.

They use and hijack parliament and legislatures as laboratory's for
political adventurism, we call on parliament to wake up to this reality
and defend its integrity.

Millions of South Africans who vote for Political Party's to represent
them in parliament, have their hopes and aspirations in parliament and
MP's. Parliament therefore, must not allow itself to descend to a
kindergarten and betray the hopes of our people.

The violent nature of EFF engagement provokes emotions and this may lead
to political intolerance which it's consequences are dire for our
democracy.
