OPINION | Glenda Gray should be defended and her accusers should be in the dock, writes Aslam Dasoo.
Every objection to Gray’s comments – and there are many, the most strident coming from senior politicians and officials – has been to her speaking outside of the ministerial advisory committee, but there’s not a single cogent objection to the content of her utterances to be found.
Gray is president of the SA Medical Research Council, a world-renowned institution led by a world-renowned scientist. In this she was in excellent company, with her comrades, her colleagues, the Treatment Action Campaign, Cosatu and many other progressive comrades and organisations all in support of providing antiretrovirals.
Gray was awarded the Order of Mapungubwe for her decades of service and for her commitment to fighting with us for a democratic South Africa.To any reasonable observer, for Gray and her colleagues, among whom there are several who also count as comrades, to go public betrays serious frustration at a dysfunctional advisory body.
