The African National Congress National Executive Committee member and Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu says she will assist convicted former Northern Cape ANC chairperson John Block to sue the state. ANC

The African National Congress National Executive Committee member and Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu says she will assist convicted former Northern Cape ANC chairperson John Block to sue the state.

Briefing the media in Upington on Tuesday, Sisulu accused Correctional Services Department of violating Block’s rights.Block is currently serving a 15-year sentence after the High Court in the Northern Cape in 2015 found him guilty of fraud, corruption and money laundering.She says, “It clearly shows that someone who is behind this is abusing their position to violate John Block’s rights, the conduct of the correctional services is a clear violation of rights.

Boesak also alleges that together with Sisulu they were denied access to the Upington Correctional Service where Block is serving his 15-year sentence. The duo maintains that necessary preparations were made with Correctional Services ahead of the visit and they were surprised when they were turned away.Boesak says this is all ANC politics.

He says, “It’s pure political manipulation and we are in an election season, let’s not be naive about that the person next to me clearly is the person that is such a threat to those who are in political positions of power right now, that even a visit to an inmate is too much for them to handle, so that’s political opportunism of the worst kind.”

John Block isn't a political prisoner is a criminal prisoner she's promoting something much foreign in Mzanzi by paying such visit

Black Barbie is not well! Should be in an asylum! LindiweSisuluSA And Boil Frog Cyril CyrilRamaphosa wants her as his deputy! 😂

By the way John Blick was arrested for corruption. Meaning South Africans must be vigilant when voting in 2024.Birds of the same further flock together

And the Tourism portfolio 🤔

That fellow has been in prison for some years now. Why is it only now that she's visiting him and making a spectacle of it? Are there any other family members blocked from Block?

Hai lo ngathi yingane yakomalema nqodo niks

Good news 💪.

The Cinderella got nothing to offer for this country it was all about the family legacy she is suffering from culture of entitlement like all the kleptocratic ruling party politicians

There's no longer a legitimate state in South Africa

DrPatriotSA Which state now?or the state of Alabama🤣🤣🤣

One of the bitter pathetic narcissist chameleons women ever use Block visit as a campaign stance Block stole SA livelihood and have to rot there but you want to help him to sue government nd live lavish life after prison with tax payers money again Wow LINDIWE YOUR DISGUISTING

Let him sue this Apartheid State under Ramaphosa

There’s no case to sue for to start with, she’s talking from her ignorant position

Hi Lindiwe Sisulu your office is promoting all the over staying unwanted African tourists. Make it your duty to get rid of them also.

Why she ruining the reputation of her parents and great great parents She is tainting her family reputation with frivolous of......

Sue the state she's part off, Jaa neh.The sooner south Africans vote ANC out of power the better. It's a circus.

Lindiwe is begging to be relieved of her duties and she will feature prominently in the next cabinet reshuffle. Underestimate CR at your own peril. DeathByThousandCuts

She's a disgrace to the Sisulu name

Black privilege

Sit down Barbie 💩

Miss puff is confused. Thieves started to defend each other!

Where will the state get the money from?

She is missing the point. Her anti government it's getting to her in a bad way. Why John was jailed at 1st place, surely she knew it's not about political imprisonment. So she needed a special treatment to be allowed to enter. She realy doesn't have peace. ANC do something.

What a 🤡🤡😂😂

mxm sies

Slam dunk. State counsel bound to botch their case
