Shivambus Bushiri Visit Is Disrespect Towards Sas Legal System
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi has condemned uMkhonto weSizwe Party MKP Secretary General Floyd Shivambus visit to Shepard Bushiris church in Malawi.
In a widely circulated video on social media, Shivambu has praised Bushiri for the work that he does economically, educationally and socially to uplift people.
Kubayi has described Shivambus visit to the church as a blatant act of disrespect towards South Africas legal system.
The Ministers spokesperson Terrence Manase says Kubayi cautioned that such behavior by a political leader not only undermines the credibility of the judiciary but also diminished the weight of the charges against Bushiri , while simultaneously sending a dangerous message to the public and to victims of crime.
The Minister says Shivambus actions erode public trust in the justice system and embolden those who believe they can escape accountability. She also says no one regardless of their status or position is above the law, says Manase.
