“I am not going to stop, I am going to continue,” says minister of tourism Lindiwe Sisulu on her sustained offensive against the country’s constitution and judiciary.
“When the furore arose from all around, I was certain that, with all the negativity and deliberate misinterpretation, the backlash was largely a political one,” charged Sisulu.
“It was just an incredible tsunami and [my critics] were vulgar. I have been accused of not respecting the constitution and that is rubbish.” Mine is not a view that seeks to play to the gallery, it is rather one that comes from practical experienceIn her view, it was an anomaly for the constitution to largely mirror laws that were used to oppress Africans during apartheid. It was more problematic that some “apartheid judges” crossed the 1994 line to the democratic era without repenting on judgments they handed down during apartheid, she said.
Said Sisulu: “I have used my freedom of speech to express my views from an African perspective and I stick to my views. They are not informed by party slate politics but by my own experience in government, from my experience under apartheid and my own experience in imprisonment and I have spent the better part of my life in those conditions.
