Organisations including Ahmed Kathrada Foundation‚ Casac‚ Corruption Watch and Freedom Under Law issue a joint statement condemning minister’s views

Civil society organisations have criticised tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu for her “attack” on the judiciary in an opinion piece published last week.

In her piece Sisulu decried the lack of transformation and economic reconciliation. She argued against the constitution‚ saying SA has legitimised wrongdoing under the umbrella of the rule of law. After decades of democracy‚ she said‚ Africans manage poverty while others manage wealth. The organisations said Sisulu’s views were an extraordinary attack on SA’s justice system‚ constitution and the judiciary.

“The foundation of our constitutional democracy rests on the rule of law‚ which depends for its health and tenacity on an independent and impartial judiciary at all levels.” “As a prominent member of government for a quarter of a century‚ Sisulu would have had a uniquely clear view‚ during the years of state capture‚ of the deliberate restructuring of the state to serve the interests of a subset of our political class at the expense of ordinary South Africans‚ especially the poor and vulnerable who daily suffer economic deprivation.”

I'm beginning to feel that all this is coordinated & I hope Minister Sisulu is well prepared for the attacks coming her way. When the ACJ was asked if they intend on laying charges against her, he said not as yet but that he hoped other players outside the judiciary take note.
