WATCH: Chaos breaks out at Ekurhuleni State of the City address

Chaos erupted during a special Ekurhuleni council meeting when members of the ANC and EFF nearly exchanged blows, during a debate over a motion of no confidence against the mayor.

Even before Ekurhuleni mayor, Clr Mzwandile Masina, had a chance to begin with his address, chaos had already broken out.

The State of the City Address (SOCA) is currently on a break following a spat between the EFF, EMPD and a few ANC and DA members at the Germiston Council City Chambers this morning.

The altercation surfaced after EFF members kept disrupting the meeting with points of order, until things got out of hand and EMPD members were asked to come inside the chambers.

The meeting has been adjourned and one member of the DA has been rushed to hospital due to injuries.

Three members of the EFF have also sustained injuries.

The DA is currently in a caucus meeting, while the EFF also stepped out of the chambers.

More information will follow as it becomes available.
