Lindiwe Sisulu Says She Should Have Been on the ANC Top 6 Nominations List, Mzansi Says that Shipped Sailed

• Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has finally spoken out about the ANC's top six nomination list
• Sisulu is unhappy that she was not nominated and believes that she was unfairly left out because she met the 25% threshold
• South Africans have opposing views on the matter, and some people say she is acting entitled by challenging the results

JOHANNESBURG - Minister of Tourism Lindiwe Sisulu has lodged a complaint with African National Congress (ANC) national electoral committee about the top six nomination list.

This comes after Sisulu failed to make the cut for the ANC president nomination for a second time, and South Africans had a few opinions about the grievances she brought up.

In her letter, Sisulu questioned how the names were finalised when she and her team noted that some ANC branches had unresolved disputes. Sisulu stated that they had reliable information and that there were some discrepancies about the nominations for the ANC president.

Sisulu also alleged that nominations from branches in her favour were not considered, reported News24. The Tourism Minister added that she met the 25% threshold needed to be nominated in the top six.

Sisulu also accused the ANC electoral committee of breaking the rule that states the electoral committee should publish a list of the top three nominees for each official position. Only two names were announced for the ANC president post: President Cyril Ramaphosa and Zweli Mkhize.

According to EWN, the ANC electoral committee, headed by former President Kgalema Motlanthe, will respond to Sisulu's letter. However, there is no indication of when that will happen.

Here's what South Africans had to say about Sisulu's grievances:
