Founder of the Inkatha Freedom Party Mangosuthu Buthelezi said that the disruptions in Parliament on Thursday were "disgusting" and "utter nonsense".

"I think what we have seen today is disgusting. I think our country is really torn to pieces and I think the struggle didn't take place for people to play the fool," he said after President Jacob Zuma's state-of-the-nation-address was interrupted by Economic Freedom Fighters MPs.

"[This is] not what the majority of people in this house want to see. If the Constitution allows us to vote, why can't we put this to vote?"
