Parliament erupted into chaos on Thursday when President Jacob Zuma was answering questions on the state of affairs in the country.

Members of the Economic Freedom Fighters stood up in a rage as tensions began to boil over, storming out of the House just before parliamentary security was called to force them out.

This sent Twitter into a craze, with South Africans, being South Africans, reacting ever so comically to the craze.
