Lamola faced criticism for tweeting that the Department would assist Cekeshe to apply for a presidential pardon.

We note the dismissal of both the leave to appeal and bail for fees must fall activists Khaya Cekeshe by the Johannesburg Magistrate Court. We’re in the process of urgently assisting him with an application for presidential pardon or other legally available avenues.

Minister Ronald Lamola confuses his new role as minister of correctional services with his old one as DP of ANCYL. He should not have raised his hand until asked by KhanyaCekeshe.

why ANC took weapons to fight apartheid when your own kids are now denied the rights that you fought for ?

Well this story took a turn for the worst. He shouldn’t have made that promise. He is minister of Justice and he in unaware of the fact that you can’t institute a application for a pardon whilst the case is still in the appeal phase.

Lamola got himself in a jam here.he played populist politics
