Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu has distanced herself from a statement by the presidency claiming she has apologised and retracted her article attacking the judiciary and the constitution.

Ramaphosa's people initially advised the president not to act against her, lest she appear as victim during a year where the ANC is scheduled to elect new leaders. She is believed to be campaigning to challenge Ramaphosa at the December ANC national conference.

According to the presidency, Sisulu was reprimanded specifically for her attack on the judiciary in which she said those in the higher echelons of the judicial system were “mentally colonised” and had settled “with the worldview and mindset of those who have dispossessed their ancestors”.

“The president proposed an intermediary that would focus on the one line about the judges to resolve that. I awaited such to be communicated, which would do nothing to the entire article.”

She really wants president position but how are we going to respect her if she disrespect the president

The is no article withdraw by Sisulu . stop lying

If this attention seeking tactics by the Minister are something to go about her advisers have a great job to do. Is one thing to criticize the judges but attacking our guiding document is never something we expect to hear particularly from someone hoping to lead the country.
