Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has slammed Tourism Minister, Lindiwe Sisulu for her controversial article in which she attacked the country’s Constitution and Judiciary.

In the opinion piece titled “Hi Mzansi, have we seen justice”, Sisulu questioned the moral standing of the country’s judges and compared unnamed judges with “house Negroes”. She further called for a complete overhaul of the judiciary.Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo responds to an article attributed to Minister Sisulu:The Acting Chief Justice says judges will continue to do their work in accordance with their oath of office despite continuing attacks on the judiciary.

Zondo says he was horrified by Sisulu’s article, particularly, given her senior role in government. He says judges respect their oath of office. The Judiciary hopes that Sisulu will have the decency to withdraw the insult that she has hurled at African judges. Justice Zondo says he has not engaged with Sisulu over her column.Meanwhile, the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution has lambasted Tourism Minister as seeking to undermine the credibility of the judiciary.

Spokesperson, Lawson Naidoo has reiterated Zondo’s sentiments. Naidoo says Zondo’s outrage is warranted. “We have a judiciary in South Africa that is fundamentally transformed from what it was pre-1994. We have a very transformed judiciary with many black and women judges who serve the oath of office that they take and ensure that justice is dealt with impartially. We should be proud of our judiciary and the independence that they display.

Judiciary is captured.. hit the snake hard.

Zondo damage control exercise raise even further suspicion about a cabal judiciary that doesn't want to be criticized. The FAKE DEMOCRACY of SA is slowly being exposed,and REVOLUTION is imminent and unstoppable. It won't be surprising if Sisulu is sent to jail

LINDIWE Sisulu has done a wonderful thing to raise this important issue about the obvious corruption within the captured justice system. Her views represent many people who tried to speak,but are not powerful. There is enough evidence from the observation. Outcomes are predictabl

Letswalo le molato la ikahlola

If Zondo manages to become Chief Justice South Africa will be in flames.Mark my twit

Lindiwe is an independent thinker. Zondo must leave her alone

Zondo sounds more of a politician than a judge

Minority people who are only 8% of the 57 million population own 80% of the land in South Africa. When I say minority I'm talking about white people.

The judiciary has been criticized many times by so many politicians, Zondo didn't call any press conference Why now ? Just because she's a woman or Zondo is involved in ANC National Conference battles?

Did she attack the judiciary?. Where did you guys learn your journalism?.

The only crime that Madam LindiweSisuluSA committed was to Kick The Dog (👀) … Now The Owner has to Come Out Running (Stratcom)

Justice Raymond Zondo MUST recuse himself. He has been accused of being CAPTURED by quite a number of judiciary people and other dignitaries. He should step down.
