Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu has blamed the media team in the presidency for 'misrepresenting' her conversation with President Cyril Ramaphosa regarding her controversial article.
On Friday morning, Sisulu sought to clarify it was the media team in the presidency that allegedly misrepresented events that took place when she met Ramaphosa this week.
“At no point in the conversation was she firstly admonished nor secondly expressed regrets resulting in agreeing to withdraw or apologise for her article, but agreed to reconsider the particular line relating to the judiciary, which the president had raised issue with and was to share with her,” said Motale.
