SOUTH AFRICA: South Africa's opposition leader told to leave parliament

The speaker of South Africa's parliament has ordered the country's opposition leader Mmusi Maimane to leave the chamber.

The speaker said that he ignored her calls for him to sit down.

Mr Maimane was trying to ask President Jacob Zuma a supplementary question about the appointment of ministers and the alleged influence of the Gupta family.

All members of Mr Maimane's Democratic Alliance party then walked out.

One MP then shouted: "You're protecting the Guptas."
