Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s criticism of President Cyril Ramaphosa is a reflection of her own performance.
“There’s a reality that some individuals may project their own failures onto the president. The president does not work alone, he works with a team of people — and when somebody that is part of that team says the president has failed, they may very well be projecting their own failure within that team and not necessarily the failure of the president,” Magwenya said.
She reportedly said: “I am uncomfortable with the way it is applied and I would propose as we go into the next conference anybody who we feel has serious allegations against them should step aside. “The expected professional decorum is that should they have any concerns about their work, the president and the state of various matters about the country, they will address those issues directly to the president,” he said.
Magwenya said the Phala Phala farm scandal was under investigation and “you would expect cabinet members to know better that we allow the investigations to be concluded before any pronouncements are made”.
