Terrence Mawawa|Reports from the main opposition party, MDC A suggest that some of their MPs have been assaulted by overzealous police details during today’s scuffle in Parliament.

THERE was drama in Parliament during Thursday’s 2019 budget presentation when the Speaker ordered opposition MDC legislators out of the House, resulting in clashes with the police as the MPs refused to leave.

One MDC A legislator was injured during the clashes and, as the MPs were trying to take her to an ambulance, party chairperson Tabitha Khumalo collapsed on the street.

Khumalo and her colleague were then bundled into a waiting ambulance and taken to hospital.
The MDC legislators did not stand up with the rest of the House as Emmerson Mnangagwa arrived for the presentation of the 2019 budget by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube.
