A Coup I Can Support
Manto muscled out in palace coup
There has been a palace coup in the Health ministry while Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang has been in hospital. Over the past three weeks, Tshabalala-Msimang’s deputy, Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, and Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka have seized control of the country’s HIV/Aids programme.
Considering the protection Manto seemed to have from Mbeki I wonder if this happened with his approval or if Mlambo-Ngcuka is throwing her weight around independently.
