'Many protests are going to follow after Sona' - EFF

Loading player...
After causing a90-minute delay at this year's state of the nation address (Sona), EFF national spokesperson Vuyani Pambo told TimesLIVE the party has planned several marches in the months to follow.

In a much contested move, the EFF disrupted Thursday night's sona proceedings calling for president Ramaphosa to fire minister of public enterprises Pravin Gordhan. Pambo explains that the party holds Gordhan personally responsible for the failure of the country's SOEs, in particular Eskom. 

While other political parties have been vocal about their distaste of the EFF's conduct in parliament, Pambo says that sona was just the beginning.
