For not being allowed to wear their signature red overalls & maid’s outfits into the Gauteng Legislature, the EFF invaded it. The doors were crowbarred open and they caused extensive internal damage to the building.
Here are the close-up photographs of that shocking event.
They now threatened to make Gauteng ungovernable unless they are allowed to wear their uniform in the legislature. No wonder Gwede Mantashe equated their behaviour with that of the Nazi Brownshirts of the 1930’s. These were a bunch of lawless thugs who did the Nazi party’s bidding. Foremost amongst their atrocities was the Kristallnacht also referred to as the Night of Broken Glass, It was a “Pogrom”, (a series of coordinated attacks) against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and Austria on 9–10 November 1938, carried out by Sturmabteilung SA paramilitary forces [Brownshirts] and non-Jewish civilians. German authorities looked on without intervening. The name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues had their windows smashed.
Looking at the intense concentration as these EFF members demolish the security gates is reminiscent of their equally uncouth Nazi bretheren.
