South African Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang has slammed the Global Fund for Aids for its donor policies, drawing a fresh barrage of criticism over her government’s handling of HIV/AIDS.
Tshabalala-Msimang told a youth summit on AIDS late on Saturday that the UN-supported fund had bypassed the national government when it allocated $60 million directly to KwaZulu Natal, the worst hit of the country’s nine provinces.
“The Global Fund was trying to bypass the democratically elected government and put it (money) in the hands of civil authorities,” she told the youth gathering in Johannesburg. “Perhaps this is because the Fund does not trust governments elected by the people.”
