Parly police fire stun grenades at students
There has been mayhem inside and outside Parliament where members of the EFF have been forcibly removed and university students have broken through the gates and are now protesting on the grounds of parliament.
Some students made their way to the steps and moments later, police used stun grenades to try and disperse them.
Earlier, Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene's mid-term budget speech was delayed when the EFF wanted it postponed because of the protests over university fee increases.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane argued that until Nene has laid out his budget no decisions should be made.
Members of Parliament later voted to reject the motion by the EFF.
But when Nene took to the podium EFF members broke out in protest, chanting 'Fees Must Fall' while holding up posters.
House Chairperson Thoko Didiza had them removed.
