EFF vows to disrupt SONA
EFF leader Julius Malema has vowed his party will disrupt this week's State of the Nation Address.
Malema says when President Cyril Ramaphosa takes to the podium, they will demand that Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan be fired.
"When Cyril starts [speaking], we start. That's how it's going to roll. When he starts speaking, we [will] start speaking about Pravin going."
"It must come to an end. Pravin is in charge, he is running this country and destroying our assets in this country, and the man is untouchable," he says.
Briefing the media in Centurion yesterday, Malema said Eskom and SAA's situation had worsened under Gordhan's leadership.

But the National Assembly speaker, Thandi Modise has issued a warning against anyone who threatens to disrupt the house and Thursday's proceedings.
