ANC Presidential Candidate Called out on thinking ‘She’s Better Than Some of the Comrades.’

Lindiwe Sisulu has been dubbed as ANC “royalty” and accused for thinking she is better than some of her comrades.

The ANC presidential candidate told News24 before her fundraising gala dinner in Hartbeespoort that members were being malicious and this was nothing more than “pull her down syndrome” at play.

“I have been in the struggle all my life and I am only coming across it now because it only suits certain people. If I behaved like royalty I would have been royalty from the age of six when I joined the struggle,” said Sisulu.

Though she mentioned the age of “six” in her interview with News24, she later clarified on social media that the actual age she joined the struggle was 16.

She added that if she was indeed ANC “royalty” she would not have experienced the persecution she did during the struggle years.

According to the Daily Dispatch, Sisulu last month attacked ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe’s character, blaming him for divisions in the party and questioning his struggle credentials.

Mantashe, in response to Sisulu’s comments, told News24: “When you serve royalty you are invisible.”
