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”.

So the honourable Sisulu is requesting the legal eagle to pen on her behalf a response to Zondo's response.

I hope the consultations with lawyers are paid by Sisulu personally.

I can't remember an instance where Minister LindiweSisuluSA has had problems with our Constitution. Instead, she has drawn a salary over the past 28 years, thanks to the same Constitution she now believes is a problem. One has to question the timing of growing a spine. Why now?

What did she do for the past 27 years as a minister in different portfolios to eliminate poverty especially for the majority

My 6 year old started school on an empty stomach yesterday. She came back and there was till no food💔😭. I'm struggling to find employment and in my struggle my family is suffering. Please assist us with mealie meal🙏🏻. We'll eat it with sugar water🙇‍♂️

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
