When I saw this headline I initially thought it was (yet another) typo on IOL: The workers want their liver back!. I assumed they had meant ‘lives’ for ‘liver’, but on clicking the link it became clear that striking hospital workers were in fact demanding the return of Minister of Health Manto Tshabala-Msimang’s new transplanted liver.

“The workers want their liver back!” “Dr Beetroot, Garlic we gave yo our liver with love, now you we demand it back by force,” read some of the placards on show from the marchers who included municipal workers and other Cosatu affiliates.

“Manto rose from grave to talk sh*t”, read yet another poster.
