1 | South Africa: Another Manto Blunder… | Afrika Atsimo : Hadalana Iray Indray Nataon’i Manto |
2 | The controversial South African Health Minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, who you might remember a couple of posts back as being under fire for her antics…is back in the spotlight, this time bloggers are venting anger at an address she gave to the presidential task team on traditional medicine. From The Big Breakfast blog who comments on the “Minister of Ill-health”…: | Miteraka resa-be indray ny Minisitry ny Fahasalamana ao Afrika Atsimo, Ramatoa Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, izay efa nolazain'ny lahatsoratra taloha fa main'ny afo noho ireo hevitra lomoriny … Tamin'ity indray mitoraka ity dia hatezarana no nitsenan'ireo mpitoraka blaogy ny hevitra narosony ny ekipa mpanatanteraky ny filoham-pirenena mikasika ny fitsaboana nentim-paharazana. |
3 | …came up with another blinder, saying (quote) “We cannot use western models of protocols for research and development. | Izao no voalaza ao amin'ny “The Big Breakfast blog”, mitsikera ny “Minisitry ny fahasalamana tsizarizary … ”: |
4 | We should guard against being bogged down with clinical trials.” | Izany indrindra, Ramatoa Minisitry ny Fahasalamana, no ilana ny fanandamana ny fanafody amin'ny tena siansa. |
5 | She then went on to say that the lack of measuring and documentation within traditional medicine encouraged legal challenges and dubious practise. | Mety misy fifandrindrana ve eo amin'ny fitsaboana nentim-paharazana sy ny “fitsaboana tandrefana”, sa tena mifanipaka tanteraka ireo fitsaboana ireo ? |
6 | That, madam Health Minister, is why we have clinical trials in real science. | Fa mbola nasiaka kokoa ny volazan'i Synaptoman: |
7 | Is there a place for traditional medicine to exist side-by-side with ‘Western medicine', or are they at odds with each other? | |
8 | Even more scathing was Synaptoman: At the launch of the Healthy Lifestyle Programme in Port Shepston (what in God's name was she even DOING there), she announced that alcoholic beverages will soon carry messages highlighting the negative effects of alcohol. | Tamin'ny nanokafana ny tetikasa ho an'ny fomba fiainana ara-pahasalamana [Healthy Lifestyle Programme] tany Port Shepston (inona koa moa no mba NATAONY tany ), no nilazany fa hasiana fampatsiahivana ny voka-dratsin'ny alikaola ny zava-pisotro misy alikaola amidy. |
9 | Are we supposed to take this woman seriously? | Tokony ho raisina matotra ve ny teniny ? |
10 | Her alleged alcohol consumption is legendary, her fast-tracked liver transplant is common knowledge, and now this idiot is lecturing the rest of us about OUR alcohol consumption? | Fantam-poko, fatam-pirenena fa mandray zava-pisotro misy alikaola izy, iaraha-mahalala koa fanoloana ny aty nirotorotoany, dia amin'izao ilay adala io no mampianatra antsika mikasika ny FISOTROANTSIKA zava-pisotro misy alikaola ? |
11 | She went on to say says that she hopes to emulate the success her department has had with the tobacco industry, where a 40% drop has been achieved due to warnings on cigarette packets. | Nilaza mihitsy moa izy fa manantena ny hahita fahombiazana toy ny nidinan'ny famokarana paraky [tobacco] 40% noho ny fampitandremana napetraka tamin'ny fonon-tsigara. |
12 | This is not necessary. | Tsy ilaina akory izany. |
13 | We could probably achieve at least a 40% drop in alcohol consumption in this country if we could just get HER to join the AA. | Mety mihena 40% ny fisotroana zava-pisotro misy alikaola eto amin'ity firenena ity raha vitantsika miditra ao amin'ny AA IZY. |
14 | and adds in this comic depiction of the minister… | ary nampiany ity sary ity hanehoana ny Minisitra … |
15 | The overarching question which this incident again lends ammunition to is… How can the President have Ministers of such caliber on his staff, and defend their positions amid all their antics? | Noho io tranga io moa dia mihitatra indray ny fanontaniana hoe … Ahoana no hahafahan'ny Filoham-pirenena manana Minisitra tahaka itony, ary miaro ny toeran'izy ireo na dia eo aza ny hevitra tandrametaka ? |
