Mad Mantu

Why, oh why Couldn't Mantu have resigned with the other ministers?! Mad Mantu Tshabalala Tsimung - the liver transplant queue-jumper; the peculiar; the rude; the garbled; the downright bizarre - minister of health She of the tortured ideas about HIV/Aids - think: "Its not really there" think: "HIV does not cause Aids" (hullo*oo*oo*) think: "Aids can be cured by eating African potatoes; beetroot, onions and other such basic foodstuffs" think: "I know! Let's bring in Cuban doctors, who can't speak any local languages, to help our medical crisis" think: "There is nothing wrong in this hospital. Everything is just fine" when a large number of previously healthy infants have died there." If it were not so deeply tragic - I mean, this is about people's LIVES! - it would be side splitting comedy. Please, oh please, Mr Motlanthe, Do the whole country a huge favour. . . . FIRE HER!
