Acting chief justice Raymond Zondo has seemingly called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to take action against minister Lindiwe Sisulu for 'insulting the judiciary'.

According to Zondo, Sisulu's article was “rich in insult but very poor in substantiation and in any analysis because it does not refer to any judgments that judges have given which have been analysed to produce the conclusions that she produces”.

“It is very important in this country that we draw the line on conduct that is acceptable and conduct that is unacceptable. He said it would be acceptable if such views were being expressed by a young and inexperienced person but not by someone who has been in the executive for so many years.

Shame on him 😏

When Ramaphosa adress anything he does not talk about services delivery he talks about the constitution and justice system

This celebrate judge is up something not good

It's freedom of speech why she must apologise!?

She must goooooo

How is this a democracy when one cannot criticize the judiciary 🤔. That's how dictatorships are built

Touch her. We are ready

🙄🤷🏾‍♂️

No it is not true he said he cannot tell advice the President or parliament what to do it is up to them

Miss Sisulu simply exercised her Democratic right.. simple as that

His emotion are of a pregnant woman,now his calling his lap dog to discipline Lindiwe.

It’s a trap, Cyril must ignore the temptation. He must just open page 1 of The Road to Polokwane

Zondo said the OCJ_RSA will not tell CyrilRamaphosa what to do to Mrs Sisulu. Don't spread fake news

We are tired of this judge with his emotions. Can we trust such people to be transparent when addressing issues. Everyone is free to voice his/her own opinion. Why is he acting like God who can't be criticized, are we in a democratic country or not?

Her true zupta colours are showing LindiweSisulu

EFFSouthAfrica are right, some Judges think they are G-ds, Lindiwe Sisilu is still entitled to her own opinions. Hebana! Where is 'take action' coming from now.For Goodness sake in a democratic country we even have seen people talking shit about Presidents.Who is Zondo kanti?

zondo is desparate for a chief justice position which he already secured when he arrrested president Zuma.

How are those words… equal to INSUTS

'seemingly called on president' You reading his mind now, Zondo never said that

One is reminded of the movie face off when John Travolta tells Nicholas Cage that his side has got the ball.

Judiciary is captured by cyril and his cabal.....

Don't be surprised if Minister Sisulu is put into prison for 15 months without trail. SA judiciary can be ridiculous

Is he God?

Wow!!!! Apartheid tendencies are in full swing, we slowly taking a route to autocratic state mmmmhhhh

History is against him , action means serious political elevation for her

Eliminate the competition to avoid PAYOLA presidency🚮

So trials have been replaced with press conferences where judgements are delivered

Hey Mzondwana, ours is a constitutional democracy, not a judiciocracy.

Separation of powers, anyone? Judicial overreach, someone?

She wrote the article in what capacity; minister, anc member or ordinary citizen? We headed for disaster shem🎠🎡🎠

She can't help it, if she is a torch bearer of a disoriented ANC faction calling itself RET forces she was bound to compromise herself. Desperate for leadership position!

If the shoe fits they should wear it

That's nonsense

Nonsense!!!! Factional jaji

But which part of the opinion piece that was an insult to the Judiciary. 🤔🤔

Presidents can be criticised,Polticians can be criticised,Zondo is a public servant he will be criticised as a public servant

The former Chief Justice warned us about the attempt to capture the judiciary.

So Zondo is now getting involved in politics and even suggesting to the president to take action. 🤣 Is it not not state capture when he Zondo suggest to Cyril what to do? Is it not judicial over reach for Zondo to call on Cyril to take action against Lindiwe?

Zondo le Ramaphosa haba tsebe polotiki fokol, I politics you dnt give your opponents such publicity. especially when they seem to be siding with the marginalized.

If the shoe fits the should wear it

And people still dont believe the judiciary is captured This is clear for all of us to see

He is not God he can be insulted, we are going silenced by thus zondo

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
