IN a veiled swipe at Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu, President Cyril Ramaphosa said the ANC lekgotla has reaffirmed its support for the Constitution and the judiciary.
This comes days after Sisulu’s attack of the judges and the country’s Constitution.
Ramaphosa was giving his closing remarks of the ANC national executive committee (NEC) lekgotla held this past weekend.
“The ANC and the Alliance reaffirm our support for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the judiciary and distance ourselves from narratives that seek to negate its transformative intent and gains,” said Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa said such conduct was similar to a leadership that had lost touch with ethics and morals.
“The ANC need to commit towards deepening and defending the national democratic revolution. Counter revolution is wearing a different countenance in our country. There are expressions of democracy under threat which are a result of loss of ethical compass and moral direction.”
