South Africa’s Parliament debates motion of impeachment against President Zuma

South Africa’s Parliament on Tuesday began a debate on a motion of impeachment against President Jacob Zuma following a Constitutional Court ruling against him in the Nkandal scandal.
The session got to a chaotic start as opposition party demanded that Parliament Speaker, Baleka Mbete, excuses herself from the debate.
“We are discussing Zuma now; we cannot discuss Zuma with you presiding over this matter. Let Deputy Speaker sit there,” said Juliu Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters.
The opposition claims that Mbete has failed in her job by defending Zuma and that it is not fair for her to preside over the debate.
