CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa's parliamentary protection services forcibly removed members of the ultra-left Economic Freedom Fighters party from the chamber on Wednesday as they attempted to disrupt proceedings ahead of an address by President Jacob Zuma.

The EFF parliamentarians were ejected by parliament's Speaker after ignoring several warnings for order after they tried to prevent Zuma from speaking following recent court orders against him.
