Manto Tshabalala-Msimang Receives Liver Transplant
Minister of Health Manto Tshabalala-Msimang is not recovering very well. After being admitted back into hospital for a lung infection she has now received a liver transplant(!). I don’t know what ailment she is suffering from but it seems pretty bad to be affecting both her lungs and kidney functions.
I hope she gets better but I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t the perfect time for government to gently ask for her resignation so that her deputy Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge (who seems to have a plan of action from AIDS) can take over from acting Health Minister Jeff Radebe.
