EWN reports that Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) President Zingiswa Losi has slammed the African National Congress (ANC) for its inability to reign in Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu for her opinion piece on the Constitution.
Sisulu raised the ire of many, including the judiciary, with her recent opinion piece in which she levelled criticism against the Constitution, and black judges in particular. Losi, stopping short of mentioning Sisulu’s name, told the ANC lekgotla on Saturday that failure to discipline ANC deployments was feeding a culture of mediocrity within the alliance. The Cosatu president complained of being subjected to those who took an oath and swore to defend the country’s Constitution now rubbishing it in the media. She told the meeting that that was unacceptable and unbecoming behaviour from Cabinet ministers. Losi also criticised the ANC’s handling of the matter, adding that it was seen as promoting and rewarding those who showed ill-disciplined.
