Aubrey Matshiqi writes that the response to Lindiwe Sisulu was, in his view, hysterical and that the western and liberal way of looking at the rule of law is but one conception of the rule of law. When I was in government, I penned articles and other pieces of writing which, officially, were published in the names of government officials and politicians. While I do not doubt that the articles published in the name of Minister Lindiwe Sisulu reflect her own views, I struggle to believe she wrote it alone. To say so is not to insult her intelligence and to think otherwise opens one to the illusory belief that Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo constructed the response to Sisulu's missive unaided by others.
