Violence at the End of Rainbow, Part One

The video says it all. Violence is a means of resolving conflict in South Africa, whether it's to quell a strike in Marikana, voice concerns in Malamulele, or cope with personal issues. Now violence has entered Parliament, during its most august event, the State of the Nation Address. Watch the painful footage of the forceful removal of the EFF. Video by RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
