You have done us proud. You represent the best values that so many of us have fought for and for which so many have died.
Your dismissal on the eve of National Women's Day is the clearest signal that our country is suffering from a serious leadership crisis. It is an assault on so many of us at the very time when we are encouraging a greater gentleness and shift away from violence. Over the next few weeks, every effort will have to be made to ensure that those who are sane and committed direct all their wisdom to bring levity to this difficult moment.
The health challenges facing us are enormous and every one is needed to move the ship forward. You represented a significant part of society committed to improving this sector. Your dismissal holds the danger of derailing the wonderful efforts that have recently been made to cement a unified approach to our problems. In the end, the work has to be done and no amount of political bickering will change that central fact.
Please be assured that you are very widely supported.

Churches need to speak up against men's violence against women. Stand up for the weak is a Christian thing to do.

I don't know how to put this calmly. Babies are dying for the sake of political correctness. Please put an end to it.

The South African government is as corrupt as the previous horrific apartheid regime. The government should give Manto the boot - she has a criminal record and is not fit for public office.

I was struck and impressed by your grace and humility when I heard you speak at UKZN last week. May you find strength in your many supports and continue to speak truth to power.

I do not know much about you but from what I've heard about you, I seriously think your dismissal was unfair and I'd like you to come back.

The economic attack that the government is aiming at Nozizwe will not be enough to silence those who speak the truth: AIDS is real
