Minister in the presidency Mondli Gugubele says tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu's remarks 'grossly misrepresent the constitution'.

Sisulu had criticised the lack of transformation and economic reconciliation, arguing that since the new constitution and the rule of law,“What we have instead witnessed under the supreme 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 argued.

“The purpose of the constitution is to deal with the very issues that she’s speaking about: healing the pains and divisions of the past, ensuring there is social justice, dealing with the imbalances of the past is an imperative of this constitution,” Gungubele said. Gungubele said it was not usual that the government distanced itself from remarks made by cabinet ministers, but that in this case it was important to do so because of the position Sisulu holds in society.

Though Sisulu was writing in her personal capacity, Gungubele said it was a reckless use of the right to express her own view because she had taken an oath of office. But he admitted that the constitution may be flawed in many ways.

The Constitution has not failed us. The implementation thereof & accountability to, by the SA govt & political parties is what has FAILED. Where is MEANINGFUL consequence management in public service? Accountability & redress? Legislation protects public servants NOT Citizens.

Why don’t you suspend her…..she is clearly not aligned to the team……

Why is she still keeping her job

She must be fired.

Can someone just wake this woman up

Truth truth Minister Sisulu

How exactly is the constitution keeping people in poverty when the black middle class has only grown and countless number of people have uplifted themselves? It’s government’s own failures for increased unemployment and a collapsing economy. Not the constitution

Which government, you mean that is led by the factional ramalier? There's no government in South Africa, this country is leaderless......

People would starve if NGOs did it your way, Sooliman tells Lindiwe Zulu'It's called disaster because it needs an urgent response, it can't be something you respond to five days later,' Sooliman responded to Lindiwe Zulu. My greatest wealth is created by being an early investor through TarellaCampbel Making that investment requires believing in something before the majority of people understand it. I was mocked, ridiculed & criticized for my non-consensus action Yet it’s absolutely worth it! Sooliman proactive citizen, tell the stupid minister who is swimming in soup pot whats happening on the ground. My wife passed away while I looking for employment.
