South Africa’s parliament suspends Malema

South Africa’s opposition leader, Julius Malema, and five other MPs from the Economic Freedom Fighters party received a one-month suspension without pay from parliament. BBC Africa reports that the punishment, due to contempt of parliament, resulted from their actions of storming the stage during President Cyril Ramaphosa’s state of the nation address in February. The committee found them guilty, leading to Malema being escorted from the hall by security.
