A Nigerian lawyer Peter Uzoma has told the South African Minister of Tourism Lindiwe Nonceba Sisulu that the best thing for her is to resign so that her criticism will make sense.

Barr. Uzoma said that it is wrong for government appointees to criticize the same government they are working for, adding that the best thing for such person is to resign before speaking out.

Lindiwe Sisulu who is a former member of parliament in South Africa categorically stated that the article was written in her personal capacity but it has not gone well with members of her ANC ruling party who described her statement as “reckless utterances”.

Sisulu launched an attack on the South African constitution saying that it has done little or nothing for the victims of colonialism. Instead, she said, it has given rise to “a sea of poverty”.

Sisulu had criticized the lack of transformation and economic reconciliation, arguing that since the new constitution and the rule of law, the deck had been heavily stacked against the victims of the “rule of law”.

“What we have instead witnessed under the supreme constitution and the rule of law since 1994 has been co-option and invitations to political power brokers to the dinner table, whose job is to keep the masses quiet in their sufferance,” she argued in the article.

Although there are indications that Sisulu will be running for presidency and this could be a strategy, Barr. Peter Uzoma called on her to resign and fight from outside, adding that she took an oath of office to carry out instructions of the government.

“In the normal working of government, such appointee has to resign before criticizing the same government he took oath of allegiance to serve” Barr. Peter V. C. Uzoma said.
