EFF'S RIDICULOUS ALLEGATIONS

27 August 2014

The Office of the ANC Chief Whip dismisses the laughable and desperate claims by the EFF that the ANC has bussed in ‘hooligans' to Parliament to "deal with the EFF", "disrupt the House" and "render it dysfunctional". Such a claim can only be an invention of an overzealous imagination and an uncreative publicity strategy probably aimed at diverting attention from real acts of hooliganism that took place in Parliament on Thursday.

Mobilising supporters and MPs to cause chaos in the institution is a dirty modus operandi for which the EFF, not the ANC, is infamous and proud. For many years the ANC has been encouraging members of the public, including its supporters, to visit Parliament to observe its proceedings. They have always done this peacefully.
