Health Minister Breaks The Law
Oh this is rich. Minister of Health Manto Tshabalala-Msimang’s proclamations on the benefits of beetroot, lemon and olive oil as an effective treatment for AIDS is possibly a crime.
The South African Medical Association has asked the minister to stop making claims that have not been tested by the Medicines Control Council and that ”...until that is done, you cannot go onto public fora and claim that it is therapeutic”. So who’s going to take a bet on what happens first? Manto’s censure (or possible arrest) or the “reorganisation” of the MCC and the further ignoring of SAMA by the health deparment?
