'I brought in my mind a new medicine that we could try on Jessie. I didn’t put it in my bag as it’s administered by doctors, I’m not a doctor,” said Sisulu.

Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu said she found a new treatment for cancer during her visit to Russia. File photo.Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu has cleared the air on how she secured cancer medication for the late ANC stalwart Jessie Duarte from Russia, saying it was in her head.

Sisulu came under scrutiny this week after claiming she arranged medicine for the 68-year-old while on a trip to Russia but arrived too late. Duarte died on Sunday morning after a battle with cancer. She was laid to rest at Westpark Cemetery on the same day after a short service. “I was invited to Russia, and while I was there I tried to get medication for her. I succeeded but arrived home too late,” she said.

The comment drew mixed reactions from many, including radio personality Redi Thlabi, who said it was a great injustice and claimed people who make the laws live differently to ordinary citizens.“I had cancer, my brother had cancer, my husband passed away from cancer, so I wanted to go and learn and I found a new treatment. I did not put it in my pocket, it’s in my head. I brought in my mind a new medicine that we could try on Jessie.

Minster Sisulu always in the news for the wrong reasons, she's getting ghetto by the day. A once amongst the most respectable public /civil servant. What happened? Here seems to be a very serious underlying problem, if not seeking attention, it could be a serious cry for help.

Huh?

mrlungisa , tyengeni1954, are these the type of individuals you endorsing for presidency....ffs...from bad to worse

And she wants to be another lying president

Some words or utterance are better left unsaid

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol. SAHPRA is interesting, she just commented trying to look like a caring person, like most comrades. And now she has to answer, she will obviously lie. I wish SARS,SAPS, Hawks, &SARB could've done same on the PhalaPhalaFarmGate saga

There are a lot of things she seems to do in her head instead of you know actually doing anything.HopeLess

Another one with a hole in the head.

What utter crap Russian cancer treatment and medicine is at 50+ years behind Western Cancer Research .. By Mayo Clinic standards, the Russians concede that Russian cancer treatment is backward: Russian doctors are less skillful in diagnosis, have three times as many deaths

Pots moment right there, a proof that she can’t run the country. Loose lips sink ships. A deep fall from her dad, mom and siblings’ political stature.

I don't think she even wrote that piece about judges.

This woman!

Not very smart,neh?

She killed her

Sorry she what?🤔🤔 'bought in mind'..WTF

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think we can wrap up this year now

RET Presidential candidate. Sisulu22 is an empty tin haikhona.....xondo dololo.

What is the name of that ' new' drug. Mara this one thinks we are dump.

Fucking unbelievable 😳🤦‍♂️

A bullshiter of note.

Lindiwe STOP talking too much like you CARE maan tlabe la tshwarega!! Leave Jessie RIP 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊

Mampara Think when you speak. What rubbish is this. Embarresment to the Sisulu family

Making stories, this one thinks we are dom

This one is so damn stupid.

You are getting old Madam

Translation: she lied about the cancer drugs because she thought people would like the empathy look on her - but the lie backfired

Our next president....sigh!

She must watch out for a hole in the head…remembe…The one Ma Shabangu was talking about. That medicine could fall out neh?

It shouldn't surprise us in SA we have plenty doctors recently everyone is honoured

Unbelievable garbage she has the arrogance to say out loud

These people don’t respect us…I can’t wait for them to leave

Could Zuma be right?

TonyLeonSA she brought medicine in her mind,but she was unfortunately late.Sisulu o leshano

Shame 🤦🏽‍♀️

😅😅😅😂😂😂😂The biggest joke ever.

Instead of Schrödinger's cat, this is now LindiweSisuluSA quantum medication. If its in her mind? Is the medication real or not? Does it become real once a Russian physicist observes it? My mind is going to explode

I'm so confused... Are you all confused... Because this is very confusing

It’s in your head like all the other shit you get up to!

🤣🤣🤣

Lost the plot for sure.

Ai.

I love this bit: 'Sisulu said those who don’t believe her can “go to hell” Guess I'm packing my bags 😂

Wow! what bullshit...

How do these people get leadership positions in government ? Calling them stupid is an insult to stupid people.

A cuban miracle drug...

We know you're nit a Dr, pls tell us something we don't

A lifetime of zero consequences has led to this utter hubris. Does it cross her mind that she will be called out? No, because the ANC get away with everything, and she knows it.

Those pants are on 🔥

Mxm

Is she is senile or just speak crap

It was in her head ?

SouthAfricansP1 LindiweSisuluSA we lie we lie we lie we lie we lie we lie

You really need some medicine for your mind Minister.

This thing is as arrogant as they come! Cheeky thing. And useless as a minister too!

How are we as S.Africans allow such fools to be in a position of power? This woman is not right in the head. Cele wants to have a police state,lindiwe wants to be president. Cyril is a thief, ndz thinks she is always right. SA wake up & remove this criminal enterprise. Ie the anc

Next president in my head

This one needs to be tied to a leash!!!

This one is touched, not well in that head.

This beauty queen. Failed in all ministries she headed . Even failed Jesse. Sad she wants to be our president. We are stuffed

Okay,that then closes this chapter I suppose.time for reshuffling is now Mr President and some Minister be deployed at Luthuli House,this one is been embarrassing the movement eversince she thought she can preside over the country

😂 😃 😄 😁 🤣 😸 😆 !

That's the reason why you don't just take drugs from Russia. The side effects are now showing and Lindiwe is now delirious. She needs urgent psychiatric evaluation .As for ambitious future president. 🙆‍♂️

Barbie girl can't even manage her portfolio.She is only good with make-up and manicure

frm Pres Mbeki said it and we chose to point to a direction of Pres Ramaphosa.

For a mere fact that you are even giving her this airtime it means you are taking all of us for bloody fools

How does this even make any sense

Old age is a problem sometimes...

Awe magogo shut it marn

She said she arrived back too late, if it’s in her head why didn’t she just phone the medicine through? 🤷‍♂️

You believe her? In some respect she's got a point there's no proof she bought the medicine or it was just a thought

'It was in my head'. This cadre deployee is so clueless and out of touch with reality it is scary. She certainly isn't doing the Sisulu name any good.

Whatever

Uyaboniswa losisi lo

Well then there something very wrong with your head

So what? Was she gonna get to Jessie Duarte and just Express her thoughts and a miracle would happen? Ahh, this one thinks she's Jesus.

There’s a lot of things in this woman’s head.

These ones take people for fools.

Something's wrong with this woman.

Lol. The spin.

Doesen't it seem that there is a whole lot of other stuff that gets carried in that head too?

Let’s face it politicians that can’t lie don’t survive

Shut her up. Please.

Like how they fixing the country in their mind

Thought she was an expert

What the hell is she on about. I truly don’t understand.

Heaven protect us from this ‘I-wannabe-president-too’ 🤷🏽‍♂️🫣

😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣Old age is really messing with this magogo

Time to retire…

This woman is more crazy than I thought

2024 elections are too far away...

We must know when to stop talking!
