DA MP David Maynier was booted out of the National Assembly on Wednesday night for refusing to withdraw a statement that the Gupta family were President Jacob Zuma’s "number one clients". Maynier‚ who is no stranger to being evicted from the National Assembly chamber‚ was the only MP to be kicked out during a relatively calm sitting to debate Zuma’s budget vote. EFF MPs had snubbed Zuma’s budget speech‚ in keeping with their decision not to recognise him as a legitimate president of the republic.
