‘Truth to power’ Quaker dismissed from South African government - preview
Quaker Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, highly regarded for her efforts to speak 'truth to power', has been dismissed from her position of deputy health minister in the South African government She was fired on 8 August, the eve of the country's national Women's Day
Ostensibly, Nozizwe was sacked for failing to obtain presidential permission to attend a conference on HIV/AIDS in Madrid, but many believe that this was an excuse because of her forthright stand on the need for the government to address the HIV/AIDS crisis in South Africa
