Manto muscled out in palace coup
KERRY CULLINAN

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.

Mlambo-Ngcuka has been quietly consulting the Treatment Action Campaign and other civil society organisations over the past three months, in her role as chairman of the South African National Aids Council (Sanac), which is driving the development of a new HIV/Aids strategic plan for 2007 to 2011.

Is this what it takes to effect change in this country?

BTW - love the new SundayTimes site

Anything that'll get rid of Manto is good.

Makes me wonder if any of Ivy's minions have any ambition . . . .

Lets hope they do!
