Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu “desperately” wants to be South Africa’s president and is prepared to go to any length to accomplish her goal. That is according to ANC veteran Mavuso Msimang in response to Sisulu’s latest opinion piece published on Wednesday, in which she lambasted Msimang for claiming her initial article \u2013 published last week on IOL criticizing the constitution and judiciary \u2013 was a “extraordinary attack on South Africa’s constitution.”

Sisulu slammed Msimang, calling his views “ludicrous” and intellectually bankrupt, in response to considerable condemnation of her remarks from numerous corners of society, Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. “I have opted to write in order to refute the erroneous narrative that Msimang and other reactionaries attempt to limit vigorous and honest discussion inside the ANC,” Sisulu said.<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, they impose censorship on members who openly express their views on the condition of our democracy and other critical issues for the ANC.” However, in a Thursday morning interview with Radio 702, Msimang said that he was not “going to dignify the minister’s remark with an answer.” He said that with the ANC preparing to elect new leadership in December, Sisulu was clearly campaigning for the ruling party’s president once again, as she did in 2017.<\/p>\n
“At the heart of the present debate… is the desire of a man who aspires to become President of South Africa in the future. To this aim, she is prepared to use whatever measures, legal and illegal, to accomplish the goal,” Msimang said. He also questioned Sisulu’s timing for making contentious statements on the country’s constitution, political leadership, rule of law, and judiciary.<\/p>\n
“Given the ANC’s forthcoming 110th birthday conference in Polokwane, it was evident that distributing this piece at this juncture would exacerbate already-existing divides within the . “Secondly, the assault on leadership, as in the manner in which the is led, was just unprecedented [and] remarkable.”<\/p>\n
Zondo responded to Sisulu’s statements on Wednesday, saying she had “stepped the line” and that her words amounted to a “unwarranted assault on the country’s courts.” Sisulu responded that she had taken notice of Zondo’s statements, stating that “they will be addressed at a right time and on an acceptable platform.”<\/p>\n
“I’m consulting with my legal team,” she stated on Wednesday via her spokeswoman Mpumzi Zuzile.<\/p>\n
