Energy Minister, Dipuo Peters, today, Wednesday, December 16, reacted to the shocking news of the death of Dr Mantho Tshabalala-Msimang. She said: "Manto Tshabalala-Msimang was a lifelong and dedicated revolutionary who never put her personal reputation or even her health itself ahead of the genuine needs of the masses of our people.
"It may be too early for us to graft in its fullness the contribution that she has made to the battle for truth and evidence-based policy making in our country, but surely that time will come."
