According to Professor Thuli Madonsela the South African Constitution was drafted for the benefit of all South Africans including the previously appressed.
Madonsela said there were people who kept on saying that Madiba had “sold out” which she described as a lie. She was speaking on the spaces platform through the Thuli Madonsela Foundation on Sunday night.
“The ANC document that the ANC came with under the PLS Oliver Tambo was developed in 1988 Mandela was in jail. They already had a bill of rights and in that bill of rights there are some progressive things like certain things they say these things must be done instead of may be done. I just wanted to lay to rest that public lie about Nelson Mandela having sold out. Anyone who says that lied to you,” she said.
“If you think about people to send to parliament when you make your decision on May 29, please don’t just consider that they do not have a criminal record because not having a criminal record simply means you have not been caught by the police. What our Constitution wants is that we have people with high morality elected into public office,” she said.
