Economic Freedom fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema, was today thrown out of the South African parliament after he called out Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa referring to him as a "murderer".

The fire brand leftist leader, who was once a youth leader in the ruling African National Congress say he will not apologize to the deputy president and this prompted  the House chairwoman Mmatlala Grace Boroto ruled that Malema's remarks were derogatory and asked him to leave.
Malema however refused to leave, prompting her to call the Seargant at Arms to remove him, causing a brief scuffle around the EFF benches as Malema was pulled away by security guards.

Malema and his party accused deputy President Ramaphosa of having a hand in the 2012 killing of 34 striking miners who were gunned down by police near the Marikana mine operated by platinum producer Lonmin.

Ramaphosa was a director at Lonmin at the time and was cleared by a nearly three-year inquiry into what became known as the "Marikana massacre".
