Member of Parliament for Francistown West Ignatius Moswaane has been trending across social media platforms following an incident at the National Assembly this morning.

Moswaane is seen in a video showing the legislator being dragged out of Parliament by security guards and police officers following an order by Deputy Speaker Pono Moathodi, instructing security to "throw him out".

“I nearly lost my life in full view of Parliament after I was almost strangled by one of the security guards who were ordered to throw me out of the chamber. I am not against security guards’ duties but nearly choking me was something else. They nearly killed me and I am not happy about it. "There was a point when I was running short of breath when one of the security guards pressed his thumb hard against my throat. He nearly strangled,” Moswaane told MmegiOnline after this morning's incident.
