Woodson wrote, “If you control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him to stand here or go yonder, he will find his proper place. You do not need to send him to the back door, he will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit.””
She ends off with rhetorical questions that imply that our jurisprudence is deficient insofar as it does not adequately incorporate pan-Africanist thought.
As acting chief justice Raymond Zondo correctly said in a media briefing on Wednesday afternoon, the article is poor to the extent that these bald claims about the judiciary are not substantiated by facts. One must note, as an aside, that whether the ACJ should have stepped into the public arena to respond to Sisulu is a question about which we can all reasonably disagree. His logical deconstruction of her article, however, is sound.
For example, Sisulu does not tell us what parts of the constitutional text or case law based on the constitution, makes it hard or impossible for her government to alleviate poverty in the country. She does what many apologists for the ANC often do, putting the constitution on trial rather than putting the government on trial. Her column is assertive insofar as it does not offer evidential support for this say about the constitution.
The truth, of course, is that the ANC-led government is useless despite the constitution rather than because of the constitution. The constitution does not stop us from dismantling oligopolies. The constitution does not stop us from eliminating the bucket system. The constitution does not stop us from feeding hungry schoolchildren and getting children to school who live very far from the nearest educational facility.
Stop being misleading and bias...you r just reporting media houses not political party nxa🙄🙄🙄
Where did she attack the judiciary 🤷 the land issue is the one which you don't want to hear
Thats rubbish
She is just another example why SA desperately needs to get rid of the ANC.

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

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..
