Malema: We will shut down Parliament SAPA, News24, Johannesburg, 30 August 2014 EFF leader Julius Malema has called on National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete not to push the party to shut down Parliament. "One thing Baleka Mbete does not realise is that if all opposition walk out, they will have to collapse the Parliament," he told party members in Boksburg on the East Rand, during a women's month event. "They must not push us to that level because we will go and have elections again." He was reacting to Mbete's threat to suspend Economic Freedom Fighters MPs from Parliament following their heckling of President Jacob Zuma in Parliament on Thursday last week. EFF MPs disrupted questions to Zuma in the National Assembly by chanting "pay back the money" and then refusing to leave the House when Mbete ordered them out. Malema said opposition parties on Friday showed unity when they put their differences aside and refused to select a chairperson for the Nkandla ad hoc committee. They first wanted the committee's mandate reworked to expressly include Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's findings on the R246m spent on security at Zuma's Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal, homestead. Malema said suspension would not silence the party. They would use the time to launch more branches.
