claidheamhmor: (Vendetta 2)
Yay! President Motlanthe shuffled the cabinet a bit, and put Minister of Health Manto Tshabalala-Msimang somewhere where she hopefully won't be in a position to let more people die due to her policies. What's awesome is that the new Minister of Health is my mother's cousin, Barbara Hogan (who I've sadly never met). Barbara was given a serenade by the Treatment Action Campaign, anti-AIDS organisation that had to go to court to force government to supply AIDS drugs to people.

In other news, Hayibo ([livejournal.com profile] hayibofeed) has an article on ex-president Mbeki's plans:


Mbeki axed, can now elope to Jamaica with Mugabe )

It doesn't seem so far-fetched, does it? Look at articles like Mugabe devasted by Mbeki's recall, which says:
"Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has described as "devastating" the removal from office of his South African counterpart Thabo Mbeki, who is seen as a key ally of the of ageing authoritarian Mugabe in the last eight years."
