The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) launched a fund on Monday to provide short-term financial assistance to axed deputy health minister Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge.
"In defence of good governance and to support Ms Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, a fund has been set up to assist her with short-term financial needs related to non-payment of her salary and to cover any legal costs of defending these claims by the government," a TAC statement said.
Suspicious'
The financial demands being made on Madlala-Routledge are "crippling" and "suspicious", the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) said on Monday.
"There is growing evidence that the government is singling out the former deputy minister and conducting a vendetta against her," said Cosatu spokesperson Patrick Craven. "It is highly suspicious that money allegedly outstanding since as early as 1999 is only now being recovered.
