POLL | What do you think of Lindiwe Sisulu running for presidency?

In an op-ed seen by many as a personal advert, Lindiwe Sisulu questioned the role of the new constitution which prevailed in 1994 under the guise of 'the rule of law', saying it had achieved nothing for Africans who were living in a 'sea of poverty'.

Tourism minister and MP Lindiwe Sisulu has officially thrown her hat into the ring and will challenge President Cyril Ramaphosa at the ANC’s elective conference in December.

According to News24, Sisulu will contest the position against ANC bigwigs, including deputy president David Mabuza and former health minister Zweli Mkhize.

According to the Sunday Times, this will be Sisulu’s second attempt at the presidency. In 2017, she contested the position alongside Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, but lost to Ramaphosa.
