Scientists have come out in support of Professor Glenda Gray after Dr Anban Pillay, the acting director-general of the health department, requested an investigation into the her conduct claiming that she “made a number of false allegations against government”

“We recognise that it is impossible to have perfected the response to the epidemic, but course correction should be rapid and not defensive. With that in mind, we condemn the specific threat made against prof Glenda Gray for expressing her opinion in public, which is totally out of step with the public pronouncements made by the President, welcoming criticism.
Gray is a member of the Ministerial Advisory Committee , a group of scientists tasked with advising the government during the Covid-19 pandemic., Gray said the MAC had not been consulted on any of the lockdown regulations and added that malnutrition cases were being seen at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital due to the strict lockdown regulations.
