Chief Justice Raymond Zondo’s critique against Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s controversial article has received some backlash. And the most recent Sisulu supporter is award-winning musician, Simphiwe Dana, who shared her opinion regarding a female president.
Lindiwe Sisulu ruffles feathers with her controversial comments
In Sisulu’s opinion piece, “Hi Mzansi, have we seen justice?”, she called the judiciary “colonised Africans” and offended SA’s legislative framework.
According to Sisulu, the Constitution failed masses of Africans who “languished in poverty”. She further accused politicians of taking part in “stomach politics” at the expense of the poor.
Naturally, Zondo did not take well to these comments and denounced Sisulu’s comments as an insult to the judiciary. According to Zondo, Sisulu had no facts that she could base her comments on and called for action to be taken.
Simphiwe Dana thinks the ANC is a “lost cause”
In response to the recent comments, Dana took to Twitter, stating that a female president would be “such a breath of fresh air”.
If the ANC wasn’t such a lost cause, a female President from the camp would be such a breath of fresh air. Given that the ANC as a whole has created such destruction, the treatment of Lindiwe Sisulu seems particularly aggressive. But alas, throw the whole thing away.

And it seems that Dana is not the only one in support of a female president, with Ntsiki Mazwai adding her 2 cents to the discussion.
Let's be clear about something…. The male representatives brought us Khwezi and Marikana….. You WILL not have crazy standards for a female president
