Sisulu was among several high-ranking ANC dignitaries who gathered at Duarte’s Observatory, Johannesburg, home for her final sendoff.President Cyril Ramaphosa, who will deliver the eulogy at Westpark Cemetery, accompanied by ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile and Duarte’s sons and brothers, walked behind the hearse carrying her remains on Sunday.
Sisulu said Duarte, was “almost part of our family”, as her mother Albertina had hired her in 1979 as her aide. “I was invited to Russia, and while I was there I tried to get medication for her. I succeeded but arrived home too late.”“We have lost comrade Jessie at the wrong time. We would have loved to have her more now when the ANC is going through very difficult times,”“We need all the strong people around. But that is not our choice,” he said.
“She was talking straight, shooting straight. If it was black it was black. If it was white it was white. That’s Jessie for you. “Jessie worked with me for five years, but I can tell you straightforward, don’t second-guess her. You don’t assume anything.”
Lindiwe Sisulu ke mponeng and she hasn't realized how useless she is
Can we ask ourselves why our ministers do utilise the same health system as mere citizens are expected to use. If only we could all go to Russia!
🤣🤣🤣 Drama... Labogogo bayagula🤣🤣🤣
Lindiwe Sisulu never stopped to surprise South Africans.
Man plans and God laughs...🧐
And she wanna b d President of ds country... Imagine President 'izinyokanyoka' ze medication.... Hhaikhona sisi
So my cancer tablets were 65000 now 85000 rand per for three weeks so over one million rand a year and if we could import it like you anc do it would cost us R11000 per year. So the anc signed a patent that is why cancer patience are paying millions. Dam shocking.
Smuggling drugs into SA is a criminal offense Lindiwe Sisulu. Besides what about other citizens of SA?
Why we don't have that medication here in South Africa we heard of ANC top officials heading to Russia for medication what about us
Brain drain is better than drained brains. 🤷🏿♂️
Kinda sounds pretty illegal 🚫 🤔 😳
Tourism minister getting medicine for her comrade instead of the minister of health is a red flag
Did she really say that? I thought those who came back from exile a clever because they claim to have been well schooled. Wow!!
Who paid for it?
The very act of Lindiwe Sisulu arriving too late with medicines from Russia speaks volumes on everything illegal being done as we know the ANC,
Rubbish
Who would take drugs made in Russia? Gross!
SAHPRA1 HPCSA_ 🤷🏾♂️
I wonder if she cleared this medication through customs with paperwork
Dude, did they actually report this garbage? sies, maybe ask why was this fool was visiting Russia to begin with, that would be journalism.
Citizens can’t afford to get medication from Russia but yooh😭 even ministers don’t have confidence in South African health system.
She is a drug smuggler, bathenina abantu beANC, modimo! , Ace are Jesse left him with files of lie and conspiracy
Obviously it did not work!!
She was on a trip? But she was on sick leave. She couldn’t find a Dr here?
What about the 73,744 other nameless SAns who have died since the COVID pandemic started? Why didnt Dr Lindiwe 'secure medication from Russia' for them? Or was Jessie Duarte's life more precious than all those 73,744 SAns? Bloody Vagabonds In Power!
What did you go to Russia for,,,to go kiss Putin 💋
So in Russia you can get the medicine without the patient seen by a doctor
In her quest to impress she decided to lie. Unfortunately she didn't realise she was opening a can of worms. LindiweSisuluSA , why did you have to lie?
The 'the Minister said'..... Again! Did you not consider adking her about the legal and medico-legal implicati8of this? And whether she thinks Russia has medication which is not available in SA
Please stop telling anyone about her. Please. 😔
It’s sounds idiotic ....... no doubt Duarte had the best cancer treatment right here in SA that money can buy.
Why is this person still employed? As her employer who pays towards her salary I want het dismissed.
Thetha noba kubhujiwe. RIP Jessie
The medication wasn't available in SA? Or was she not on a medical aid? Somehow I don't believe anything an anc politician says. Then there's the question of bringing medication into SA without authorisation. Did she, or was she going to break the rules?
Ai tog! Here's another one! Itbis about Ms Duarte now, not anybody else.
'Being Lindiwe Sisulu'. Produced, directed and written by Lindiwe Sisulu. And starring Lindiwe Sisulu. Poplak dailymaverick
Desperation of relevance.....and her party wants to create ESKOM 2.1, leaders are leading in a difficult time. Out of sorts!!
Probably a bottle of seawater lolololololol
I am too afraid to ask how much this medication will cost us taxpayers.
Leha bareng the whole lot of them need to march themselves to weskoppies or sterkfontein🤞. These characters are beyond 'special'
What if they are, ayfuthi 🎬 🎬 🎬
This is utter rubbish.
Next time use a courier instead of the post office... thingsthatneverhappened
Thank goodness... Otherwise we would have to have another day with Duarte in our lives. Let's celebrate that she won't be living another day.
LindiweSisuluSA plug 🔌 us with the oncologist details and the price. We have relatives and friends battling cancer we also want them to survive.
She lies like amadodana, emlidweni...😂😅🤣
What are our ministers and deputy presidents traipsing about in Russia all the time
Attention seeking tendencies
ANC, a clear and present danger to the security of the country. USD now cancer drugs... what else are they smuggling?🙆
She's lying..
😂😂😂
This one is lying. Duarte has been sick for some time
No...Slindish just wanted to sound like she did something for free for someone else...what she said there didn't make no sense
WTF ?
Oh lies lies lies and everywhere lies
What a nonsensical comment from her....tjeer how many people are dying.
How interesting😱👀
So wena LindiweSisuluSA are out here trafficking drugs for your friends?
“ All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. ”
LeboMokwena Securing the meds 👇🏽🤭
Bullshit baffles brains
Are the South African medications inferior for ministers? Was the Russian meds she secured SAHPRA approved?
😳😨😱🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
She lying. Cancer treatments don't work that way Another ANC cadre. Liar.
Was the medicine legally transported into South Africa? Did it pass through customs? Who paid for it? Was Sisulu representing the Department of Tourism when she made her trip to Russia? Did the South African medicines control authority approve the medicines?
Imagine she had just gone down the road to the nearest world class hospital and spoken to some of our doctors who are world renown. Stupidity can indeed lead to death.
Why did she go to Russian? Can we see her post trip report and how South Africa benefits from here trip?
Lindiwe might have opened another can of worms. The next thing we will be told that state funds were used kae kae mxm
Aaah whatever. 🙄
Interesting 🤔
Jesse Departed.
For Cancer?
nxaiii wena gufegi
He eh njani? Zange ndaxakwa😔
Ei ra di bona in this country.🤦♂️
Oh for the love of things LindiweSisuluSA let the woman rest peacefully. I won't get into how you secured the medicine etc.
The journalist who asks her for details is gonna get some heat.
🙄
Was she serving under the Russain government?
Next time try and secure financial relief for your crippled industry as well 😉😉
So what kind of treatment from Russia was going to cure the cancer she had?👀
May she give it to others suffering from cancer
What name of drug that cure stomach cancer LindiweSisuluSA
Nontandakubukwa
She dug a hole for herself. She should have just cried and not said a word.
What a special privilege!
what was our tourism minister doing in Russia - maybe trying to undermine the existing tourism partners ?
SuthentiraG are you following up? Is Lindiwe Sisulu a competent person to import medicine? Was there a possible self-confessed violation of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act? What about other people who are not cared for in this way?
Lindiwe and Ace M have some of the weirdest comments when there’s a family mourning and grieving. Tactless and classless!
Was the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act adhered to?
I mean like how can a doctor from Russia get to authorize medicine for a patient in another country?🤔 We all know the laws but it seems like people who precide and make those laws don't even know the meaning of the laws themselves made 🙆♂️🙆♂️ we are led by illiterate grannies 🚮💯
Lindiwe&Carl🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Could she explain to ordinary South Africans dying in droves at under serviced hospitals, how to obtain treatment from Russia, as she and her comrades destroyed the health system completely. Disgraceful.
The miracle Russian cure for ANC leaders
She must donate the medication
👀👀
What does this say about thousands of South Africans denied oncology treatment because our Health care system is on the brink of collapse? Russian and South African ties may run deep but we are tired of paying for ANC first class travel under the guise of altruism.
😂😂😂
👀
A capable country like our has been run down by these thugs masquerading as politicians. So we the people on the ground should just e as we don’t have ministers who can get medication from other countries. Hence Africans are all over trying to flee this cesspit of a continent
OMW LindiweSisuluSA do you really expect us to believe such drivel?
Minus 1
...
ANC presidential hopeful, Ms Sisulu goes to rogue state, Russia, without mandate before the South African election in 2024. This is suspicious when Russia currently looking to throw money at any politician who they may influence. RediTlhabi
Dear ANC, all the answers and medication are in Russia. Get there asap. They have electricity all day. Woolies and H&M never closes. Petrol is free, bread is free, because all the petrol and wheat in the world comes from Russia. Book your one-way ticket at - 50% today
South Africa need healing. We are focused on irrelevant things. We certainly do not know what is at stake for the black people
Not to downplay Sisulu's valiant Florence Nightingale effort here, but with around 10K tourists coming from Russia annually, what was she invited to Russia for?
They all have to give their 5 cents worth, ne Lindiwe? Just another dysfunctionalANC cadre in action.
The nerve.
But not emotional - other than contempt and arrogance - abt her failure to deliver service to the ppl of this country..
Embrosini got this medication from America
Kak storie!!!!!
Ironically Comrade Jessie Duarte has been sick from cancer since last year, well publicised. Why are people trying to claim themselves as heroes, this is childish and stupidity.
Le reports bullshit le a tseba?
Ummmm...
We always call our BRICSRussia2020 Partner at a later stage. Why Mara?
Mxm...we are in this mess with lack of service delivery because of such, they are always late...useless!🙄
A bizarrely apt & revealing way for aspirtant ANC leader Sisulu to insert herself into the news cycle - as a bearer of Russian medicine.
This seems a bit farfetched, how would one get a hold of such medication without a prescription 🤔
Imagine this LindiweSisuluSA as president of SA? We would all die. She would probably tell us about beetroot and garlic instead of taking proper medication.
Wasn't Lindy supposed to be working
So basically a whole minister admits to illegally trafficking pharmaceuticals? Raises so many questions.
Like SA does not have medicine? Really? Was the illness of such a scarce nature?
Imagine being this much of a narcissist. Your colleague passes away and you use a LIE to make everything about yourself
This is NOT making sense... She had cancer mos...
The tokoloshe stole it
This women is major 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Make Her your president nizozbona kahle nas 🤞🏿
Oh FHS🤭🫣🤔
😂😂😂😂😂
The constitution was not written with the elites in mind stru. Imagine admitting bringing medication that is not even approved nor tested by any health body in the country.
SAPRHA should investigate!
It was not necessary for LindiweSisuluSA to tell us. Lo mama is an attention seeker.
All these honourable ministers travelling to Russia? To visit their money?
Dumb dumb mnxm
What bs! Probably just wants to be relevant, so spins yarns, surely.
How?!
Are MYANC politicians on hallucinogenics ?
Ahhh just the leaders the electorate deserves Dumb and weird
Ai ulindiwe O Dom
I hate the ANC. I really really do.
Mmmhhh stomach cancer or was it the alleged Phalaphala poison syndicate allegedly cooked in Cuba 🤷🏾♀️.
Are we opening a criminal case & going straight to sentencing after a very public admission. We await the NPA. Or was this an attempt to redirect goodwill from a dead person to bolster political image? I doubt any medicine could reverse advanced cancer & its terrible damage?
How different is this kind of thinking from money under the mattress?
Was it cancer or poison?
What 😳
She is lyeing just trying to look good these MYANC cadres think we are fools
Should have used a Zweli Scooter instead.
Nodded badge
What medication was LindiweSisuluSA getting for ANCDSGDuarte? Was it approved by SAHPRA1 and HealthZA?
All this talk just for attention....such disrespect to the Duarte family
Lies,Putin is also suffering from Cancer.Since when Russia is the boss in
While no medication is secured for the many other South Africans suffering from this. AllLivesMatter much?
She is talking BS as always. She is trying to ingratiate herself to some ignorant ANC lumpens.
This business of going to Russia & getting Cubans involved as well is all just payback by the ANC for all the money they got while in exile.. these stalwarts lived in luxury & came back to continue in the same vein & called themselves heroes.. the real heroes were the citizens.
Interesting
I know a bit about cancer and LindiweSisuluSA’s story does not sit well with me. What oncologist prescribes without examining the patient? How did Lindiwe transport these drugs? Did she have permission to bring them in? 🤔
Pity they did not keep you there!
What medication for advanced, terminal cancer does Russia have that you could possibly ‘bring over’ that could have helped her?
Typical ANC Service delivery, too little, loo late and others suffering the consequences
What was she doing in Russia?
Is that why the Russian plane arrived? The one that now cannot leave cause mo one will refuel it?🤔😂😂
So she was carrying drugs from Russia, how did she get through customs?
What doctor would prescribe medication without seeing the patient? And what pharmacy would supply it without a script?More likely this “medication” may have hastened her passing.
There is someone in one of the hospitals who needs it. Now how is she doing in tourism minister? Any investors?
1. The lady probably had terminal Stage 4 chemotherapy resistant cancer- only option 4 which is palliation + sedative analgesics. 2. It’s illegal to put drugs in 1’s luggage & simply bring them into the country. 3. It’s never too late 2 b a decent human being!
Lindiwe needs to keep quite more, this is not on. Every time she opens her is nonsense
So bizarre!
It takes us ordinary poor citizens 3 months on queues just to access medication at Bara
Why did it have to be secured in Russia and not here
Lindiwe n Ace mara those two need mental attention
Really BarbieGogo, really!🙄
Has she heard of DHL and airfreight and door to door service
Russian medication is associated with people who were poisoned in the ANC
Late as usual
Boom fucking hoo hoo.... No one gives a continental shit LindiweSisuluSA.... One less cadre.... We are happy.
Never though anc inefficiency would benefit SA ...
Lindiwe is taking us for a ride. Which doctor prescribes a medicine without seeing a patient?
So our state hospitals don't have medications
They have collapsed our healthcare now they running to Russia hoping to help their own sies
They finished her off cos she would endorse you,the manner in which critics are silenced its heart breaking,u need to watch urself madam.
Magical Medication prepared by Russian Sangoma called RasPutin … 🤡
Guess The Cuban meds are nothing in comparison to The Russian Meds!!!
Why does every ANC cadre travel to Russia
SAHPRA1 How is this possible?
Is it not illegal for people like LindiweSisuluSA to import unapproved drugs from other countries? What is a normal South African did this?
Yes that miracle Russian cure that is so much more superior than anything the West or Cuba could muster... Maybe the tourism portfolio was just too important to pursue whilst she was in Russia...
Novichock takes time to produce.
We all knew Jessie had cancer in Nov 2021 already. How long do these flights take from Russia to South Africa ? LindiweSisuluSA is maar baie stchoepit.
I'm sure she will now claim her holiday as business travels - paid by SAcan taxpayers!! Can u ever!! 'All hail saviour Lindiwe'.... Pass this so-called 'secured medication' to Bara Oncology department!!
Yeah right, Russia has a cure for cancer!
What condition does ANC stalwarts get which only Russian medication can fix?
Accept God's and Allah's will mama..this was above you. You tried your best but please let mam Jessie rest. She ran her race and did her time. Blessings.
What cure is this?
So it’s fine for ministers to import drugs for their friends, but the rest of us have to put up with DoH inadequacy
Right, Lindiwe brings back a miracle cure for late stage stomach cancer from Russia in her handbag, but tragically arrives too late. The jumbled mess of stupidity and ignorance that inhabits Lindiwe’s mind, is something very special.
Mina i think she should just keep the medication for herself, just in case. Coz it surely seem like the poison syndicated is busy with the factions
better_SA_fan Wish I could have secured medication for my son from overseas. I couldn't afford it, but I guess when you have access to the citizens money you can. Disgusting statement from Sisulu.
Always late. She was too admit that Jacob Zuma raped Khwezi. She waited until Khwezi was no more to admit that fact.
Typical of Barbies!
Was the drugs approved🤡
Was the medicine not available in South Africa? Another example of how ordinary people in South Africa is denied quality healthcare. Whilst our communist elite use our tax money to secure the best medical health from Russia.
Did sahpra approve the medication?
Did sapra approve the medication?
Lindiwe Sisulu sprouts more rubbish than a garbage truck. She will say anything in her attempt to stay relevant - much like Julius.
Joh this 1 is a stupid 🤡
Why always Anc comrades with medication from Russia? Was this also Russian poison, just asking
Anc are useless
How many millions was that medication🤔
SA medicine is also OK
The ANC has been living of the medicine of Russia for a long time. It does not work.
The medication was probably coming via the SA post office or SAA!!😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 clearly the medication arrived to late! With friends like Sisulu who needs enemies! You cant make up this shit!! These politicians need a longer space between their empty heads and foul mouths!
What the hell is she doing in Russia, medicine
Russia has a cure for cancer?
Yes, because that medication would definitely have been the cure. And this person is a cabinet minister in our government. God help us.
From Russia with love! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Poor South Africans can't assess Russian medicines that are only available for politicians its sad
SAHPRA1 here is a breech of laws here.
Medication bought without patient being assessed by Doctor? And don’t we have rules about importing “drugs”?
A trip to Russia nogal 🙄🙄 eh this ANC mafias 🤦
She's trying to tell us that SG was poisoned
She love attention this mama
Medication in Russia
Others can get medicines organized for them from Russia..... but Sisulu did not have to say this. The guys don't even listen to themselves speak anymore.
When they start looking for Medical Services abroad then you know Mama Winnie has given you a sign Mzansi (we have been there)
Russians only cure mysterious Poison. Did the Free state boys poison her.
Oooh, so medical practitioners can prescribe without seeing the client/patient. Oooh Russian
This one is an attention seeker...
What ever happened to that tourism equity fund ! 1.2 Billion gone.
What was she doing in Russia on the peoples tax money.
Mxm she's lying 🤥
