First world politics. <p>Minister of Health Manto Tshabalala-Msimang is not recovering very well.

I don&#8217;t know what ailment she is suffering from but it seems pretty bad to be affecting both her lungs and kidney functions.</p> <p>I hope she gets better but I can&#8217;t help but wonder if this isn&#8217;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 <span class="caps">AIDS</span>) can take over from acting Health Minister Jeff Radebe.</p> Wed, 14 Mar 2007 15:46:00 -0500 urn:uuid:a33f4b18-b262-4c24-8402-8bf8011f2d20 Farrel http://www.politics.za.net/articles/2007/03/14/manto-tshabalala-msimabg-receives-liver-transplant National Government Health
