South African politicians brawl as President Jacob Zuma faces corruption allegations

South Africa's parliament descended into chaos as opposition politicians denounced President Jacob Zuma as a "scoundrel" and "rotten to the core" because of corruption allegations and then brawled with guards who dragged them out of the chamber.

The raucous scenes unfolded on national television as opposition politicians tried to stop Mr Zuma from addressing the chamber, repeatedly insulting the president and declaring him unfit for office.
