Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu is consulting her lawyers after a stinging rebuke by acting chief justice Raymond Zondo for an article she wrote.

“I’m in consultation with my legal team,” said Sisulu through her spokesperson Mpumzi Zuzile on Wednesday.

Earlier, and speaking through Steven Motale, her other spokesperson, Sisulu declined to say whether she will withdraw and apologise to African judges whom Zondo said were insulted by her opinion piece. “The most dangerous African today is the mentally colonised African. And when you put them in leadership positions or as interpreters of the law, they are worse than your oppressor. They have no African or Pan African inspired ideological grounding. Some are confused by foreign belief systems.

He said the 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”.

Mbokodo 🖐🏽✊🏻

This rats yellow bone is confused

I just love how they fighting internally, but madam Lindiwesisulu must get some respect

It's the arrogance for me

Why didn't she cansult before insulting our constitution&Judiciary🤔.etlek kanti why do we pay advisers for these fools🤷‍♂️.President CR should be asked that question when answering questions in CT Town hall

She is ONLY DOING this for FREE PUBLICITY and POLITICAL POINT SCORING for her OWN SELFISH POLITICAL INTERESTS and political campaign!

She may very well go on to issue an apology but it's quite clear what her views are. Some things you can't take back. Even if you retract a statement, it's still out there.

She essentially said that black judges are not 'acting black' and it begs the question, what is 'acting black'? It is so ridiculous. I don't even think there is a so-called example she can draw on to illustrate what she was talking about.

Sisulu se MSP!

If you don't have enough funds for that lawyer tell me Lindiwe I will pay it for you, Zondo must know his place, judiciary is captured that's why he call press release to intimidate us, we know which function of ANC he belongs to

Banyisa ntombi ka Xhamela

Her lawyers are part and parcel of the legal system. How ironic. LindiweSisulu

She better find a good one because she is fucked. He better be white and he better not be Dali Mpofu

Lawyers are really making easy money from these politicians.

Paying the lawyers with our money

Dali Mpofu...

Why don't donate her money for a good course for a change instead of wasting it on lawyers to achieve nothing.

Dali on her team? Wont be surprised...

Dali Mpofu will join her lawyers if he is not her lawyer 🤣🤣🤣🤣

People are playing ego games…people need houses, water, electricity, roads, functional schools, jobs…people need to be able to sustain themselves to put food on the table. These squabbles aren’t helping any of the poor 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

Yaaaa LindiweSisuluSA please do that, so he cannot be chosen for CJ because he'll be having a pending inquiry. Show the political judge, how to do politics properly..

😂

I hope she consulted her lawyers before she wrote that letter, as well, not only after rebuke.

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.

This RET agent LindiweSisuluSA must be taken down VoetsekSisulu voetsekanc

Say what🤣🤣

A good lawyer will tell her to stay home and call it a day, 3 decades with nothing to show for, ku rough

Odds on Dali is part of the team - join the dots - the Gupta’s will be back soon & we can all relax & enjoy ourselves

The end goal of consulting is the courts right?

'Stinging' rebuke.... Don't make us laugh wena!

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..
