A brawl broke out in the South African parliament on Tuesday as security officers were ordered to forcibly remove opposition MPs.
Several punches were thrown as the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) were expelled after trying to stop President Jacob Zuma speaking.
In March, a court ruled Mr Zuma violated the constitution by failing to pay back public money used on his mansion.
It is the second brawl in parliament this month. Security guards were ordered by the speaker to eject the people who were being disruptive.
Guards surrounded the EFF MPs who were dressed in their trademark red boiler suits.
Objects, including bottles of water and a hard hat, were thrown as the guards tried to wrestle the MPs out of the chamber.
The EFF has denounced Mr Zuma as an “illegitimate” ruler who should step down.
