Minister in the presidency Mondli Gungubele says tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu's remarks 'grossly misrepresent the constitution'.
Sisulu had criticised the lack of transformation and economic reconciliation, arguing that since the new constitution and the rule of law,“What we have instead witnessed under the supreme 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 argued.
“The purpose of the constitution is to deal with the very issues that she’s speaking about: healing the pains and divisions of the past, ensuring there is social justice, dealing with the imbalances of the past is an imperative of this constitution,” Gungubele said.
