Prominent civil society organisations and foundations have slammed Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s “extraordinary attack” on the Constitution and the judiciary as “dangerous and regressive”.opinion piece in Independent Newspapers group
She called for the overhaul of the judiciary, arguing that “in the high echelons of our judicial system are these mentally colonised Africans, who have settled with the world-view and mindset of those who have dispossessed their ancestors” and derided the concept of the rule of law as a colonial imposition.
They accused her of sullying the legitimacy of South Africa’s constitutional order and engaging in “a shameful exploitation of the genuine plight of so many in our country”. “To attempt to blame the judiciary for their failures is but the most cynical exercise in blame-shifting,” they said.The formations added that the article “registers against a sinister cacophony of unwarranted attacks on the judiciary by political actors”.
The Constitution didn't fall from heaven. It was negotiated between late Mandela's ANC elitist bourgeoisie leadership cabal and late de Klerk's racist, apartheid NP. The Constitution is NOT cast in stone - it has been amended. If further amendments are needed, so be it.
There were always Black people who supported Apartheid and fought against Democracy now they are the ones attacking Min. Lindiwe Sisulu.
What civil society?.... The whole Social media....I mean the majority of the country z behind LindiweSisulu ...singing songs of praises for her on being honest abt the judiciary's state of collape...
Oksalayo she did touch the stubborn nerve....
Truth hurts
This constitution only serves those who have,not thepoor it's a facts...she was totally spot on,Is just that people does not want to hear the thruth. she touch thewrong nerve ...leave lindiwe Sisulu alone .
Hands off Sisulu hands off
Who is civil society?
South Africa can jump start its economy if it does the following: 1-Remove the race based BBBEE laws! 2-Remove all labour law red tape! 3-Reduce Corporate Income Tax to 22%! (This will be lowered to 27% next year tho)
Truth is hated 🤞
Those who lambaste Lindiwe live in Utopia, they know nothing about our plight. They must first assist us to have a reason to enjoy freedom.
Which Civil Society if we may ask🤔.kindly name them
Stratcom
Don’t come bully us with RacismUnited tactics- we have been living under the shadow of MediaApartheid

Pathetic South African media at it again. Always promoting one sided agenda.
Which civil society?
Who is civil society?
These are civil society organizations that pretend they don’t see it when the judiciary is trampling on the rights or fathers & best interests of the child in childrens court violating the same constitution they claim to protect. I hate hypocrites
Did civil society lambast Koos Berker for refusing to attend State Capture commission?
The SA political landscape is re-asserted
Correction: White controlled civil society
An Australian minister just rejected court decisions in the tennis player's case & I didn't hear anything about judicial assault. Trevor Manuel insulted that high court judge, same kak civil society kept quiet. We must warn them to tow the line & force them to abandon this crap.
Sisulu is me, I am her!!!!
Don't come bore us with your nonsense. Who still buy this nonsense though
Don’t lie please …
Dangerous and backward might be a better expression
She doesn't not want to be asked what did you do about it, once she becomes president. She scored some points a head regardless what city press says
Maaka, Lies 🤥

Does this so called Civil society represent us I mean black people or is only there to protect the owner of the wealth? We are behind u mom Lindiwe.
Which society? Do you mean the colonial settlers, their beneficiaries and the coo opted house negros Bourgeoisie ? 🤔🤷🏽♂️
Lindiwe you are 101% correct. Poverty is real to the majority of black people, the constitution is not helping us to create jobs. ...
Empty-headed Barbie Doll. That pink nails. .....oh ffs.
Media is captured just like judiciary, it's highly impossible that everyone is against lindiwe's doing on these racist news channels and newspapers. you are toxic just like News24 same racist owners

Tsek niyanya! There’s nothing you can do. Zinja. I wish President Sisulu a long life!
Thumamina media group is up in arms

Gorge Soros sponsored organisations

Useless civil society protect their funders
Civil Society is actually applauding her
Facts of propaganda has started
They can go to he..
Civil Societies are whites with those few mentally colonised africans, that opinion piece stands and no one will intimidate her
I think as Anc members we shud just go Vote a different President other than Cyril nd Lindiwe so that we can stop this feud
LindiweSisuluSA and the RET cohorts wallow in the attention they get. They are shameless
Apartheid beneficiaries and apologists. CASAC, FUL, HSF, OUTA, AFRIFORUM, 101 Stalwarts,

Civil society yoknuka

this lady is very dangerous and reckless
We've got cure for chest pains. Move forward please
Who is civil society
Isn't the constitution itself regressive? Like it aims to reduce inequality - to regress things to the mean. Clearly the constitution is inherently conservative and anti-revolutionary - by virtue of being a supreme, foundational and hard to change set of laws. Which is fine(ish)
You mean evil society
Who found that NGO
Tsek!
I want to share this because i want others to benefit from this opportunity that Dpurplewomanfx gave to me i made R40,750 profit today. I strongly recommend this trader to those who look for a stable system Dpurplewomanfx

Propagandist
If Sisulu did not come clean about how she feels about our judicial who was going to tell the world about all what is happening in our country since you are all scared, i think she's right ✊✊✊✊
You mean Soros funded cabal?
The constition that was created to protects only whites and stratcom is making noise now because of opinion?
Strong language has been used before on individuals by judges when handing judgements,one classical example is judgements against adv Mkhwebane.
Which civil soceity?
Yaaah neh 'Prominent'
LINDIWE SISULU IS A IDIOT DELUX.
I thought all these civil society and foundations do have registered names.
Julle muskond se muru en jule gat die bleksem
Friends of Ramaphosa please respect south Africa 🇿🇦
What do you expect from imgodoyi
They can slam all they wish!!! We do not care!!!
Tourism... why I she not staying in her lane? PostTurtle
I luke how she is exposing biased Zondo
We do not recognize and acknowledge all these anti-us foundations.
This lady wants judges that hide RET crimes and ANC failures not expose them.
Prominent stellenbosch and Apartheid lobbies are attacking Lindiwe sisulu, where was the lobbying groups and Zondo when this one attacked the judiciary
It's SA culture! Politicians attack well run institutions and their creation to ascend to power! The Constitution has been here since 1996 and the Judiciary has been making rulings since then! She was an MP and Minister since then!
If she's complaining because she didnt do her job as the law maker, she must pay back her salaries she earned as a parliamentarian
You mean these 1ns that are funded by Johan Rupert' This is a list of organizations that are attacking Lindiwe Sisulu: 1.Ahmed Kathrada Foundation 2.CASAC 3.Corruption Watch 4.Defend our Democracy Campaign 5.Freedom Under Law 6.Helen Suzman Foundation 7.Judges Matter 8. DA
I think this chick needs to go back on her meds.
Did they slam this last year.
They must go to hell those organizations,where were they when Zuma was being harrassed and his rights trample on
Sitting in parliament for so long as a lawmaker she's critising the law when she had the power to change - they care about people's sufferings, welfare and dignity, just power angry.
Which civil society lambasted to Sisulu's attack on the Constitution. Show us the trend
Thipi13 Niyanya
These are not civil societies but anti-black white and indian societies.
Pravin and his friends
Who does 'Civil Society' represent?
But our constitution is certainly not the best but the most liberal. What is wrong with her expressing her opinion?
🤔 civil society is soiled,these are leeches that are attached to those luthuli house dwellers and become vocal when the host comes calling
Lies, which civil society you are refering to?
She striked the right cord the uproar is proof she said the forbidden truth that might awake the oppressed black majority.
No we did not
Which Civil society are you referring to?
She is too spoiled this one, riding on the name of her parents, where was she during difficult times?
🚫FAKE NEWS 🚫
We will defend LindiweSisuluSA at any cost.
Plain and simple stupid thing to do!
Who is civil society?
NO AMOUNT OF ORCHESTRTAED EVIL SHALL PROSPER against OUR OWN.....
In practical terms, how is the constitution or the judiciary supposed to end poverty in South Africa.....?
VOETSEK LINDIWE SISULU.
Her parents must be turning in their graves
Say white people lambasted Sisulu, you may call it Civil society but we know what it means.
Civil what? Call it by it's rightful name and say white people not Civil society.
We need more Zondo like people in this country…before some turn SA into a banana republic… Great response Ntate Zondo…some of us are behind you and the judiciary in this country…
Which society 🤔
Those are sellouts, they do not want to see black people get their freedom
Let go and be civil in hell
Even the EFF Supreme Leader has his say😅
We support LindiweSisuluSA observations on the Interim Constitutional Court...South Africa need a referendum now to make its own Constitution that is informed by its Demographic Existential Economics otherwise Black Afrikans must not respect the current Constitution.
City Press should consider moving thier offices to Stellenbosch this year. We've heard enough.
Which civil society
Lindiwe likes attention, she thinks south Africa owes her a position and Why now. Zondo for chief Justice we need someone like him in the position
Mmh🤔
It's in order
✊🏿 Lindiwe
Which one noma stellenbosch will not like the idea of naming
Like that's supposed to scare us!?!
Constitution_96 Which civil society? Are you referring to these political foundations sponsored by the Secret Societies? No. There aren't civil. There are the devil's architects. Evil abides in their cohabitations.
Sisulu must resign
Constitution_96 All the WMC funded groupings will come out as instructed
Which civil society?
Kubo Lindiwe!!
I guess there's nowhere left to kick her sideways. But she's outlasted any usefulness anyone can pretend she's served.
She swore to uphold the Constitution...the same one she's criticizing. She should be disciplined and be fired.
Stop lying
De so called foundations that are being funded WMC'
Who is Civil Society?!
Which civil society
Who is that fucking Civil society?
inyongo yodwa le, since do judges respond to articles? ulunywa yini uZondo? maningi kakhulu amanga kulelizwe kwazintatheli nozo azithembakele.
We need to establish a Constitionl Convention consisting of people from all walks of life like they did in Chile to review some of the clauses of the constitution. Ours is an outcome of negotiations between few people unlike the Freedom Charter.
The daughter of the struggle. UGolden girl ka Tat' Walter. 😂
That charlatan is desperately trying to win RET brigade over for her ANC presidential candidacy and trying to vilify the Zondo commission report in advance as she was also implicated
Hogwash!!! Lies!!! Propaganda!!! Bullshit!!! NONSENSE!!! Who is this 'social society' under this lovely sun of South Africa? Le ska re nyela maan!!!
Time for her to walk as she considers her oath of office to the constitution as a burden rather than a duty to uphold. They see the republic as a challenge to their intended monarchy with her as reigning princess of the aristocracy. She should resign or be fired immediately
Baspita
Tell them they're not being recognized.
Civil society? Sisulu was right. Zondo has become a bad joke
This one has prima donna tendencies
Yet they failed to lambast at the Judiciary when president Zuma was arrested without Trial. Ramaposa uses the media and state organs to attack those who vary with him ideologically.

WATCH LIVE | Zondo responds to opinion piece by Lindiwe SisuluActing chief justice Raymond Zondo is addressing the media in response to an opinion piece attributed to tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu. Like in the StateCaptureInquiry when he ran to the constitutional court, he uses the media. He is prone to abuse his powers... And we find this alright that a judge respons to an opinion piece? Is it that the judge is meant to keep silent and only focus on judging what is presented to them.. There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about williamchurch09 it has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done.

More criticism of minister Lindiwe Sisulu for her 'attack' on the judiciaryCivil society organisations have criticised tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu for her 'attack' on the judiciary in an opinion piece published last week. “What we have witnessed under the constitution and the rule of law since 1994 has been co-option and invitations to political power brokers to the dinner table, whose job is to keep the masses quiet in their sufferance,” she wrote. Is she wrong? What kind of a criticism of the judges isn’t an “attack” on the judiciary (someone please show me an example) because it seems the moment one criticise a judge or judges then he/she is said to be attacking the judiciary or the constitution. Racists are normally disguised as civil society
