Department of Health Director General Thami Mseleku ordered the release of a shipment of tablets, imported by controversial Aids quack Matthias Rath, after Port Health officials in Cape Town had impounded it about five weeks ago.

Mseleku’s intervention raises new questions about the Department of Health’s close relationship with Rath, whose claim that his vitamin supplements can “reverse Aids” has earned him national and international condemnation.

It also begs the question whether Mseleku had encouraged officials answering to him to break the law by irregularly releasing the shipment. Port Health is a subdirectorate of the health department. A Port Health official who wanted to remain anonymous said: “We stopped the pills because [the consignment] was non-compliant with certain regulations. But then we were told to release the substance by the department.” . . .

Rath distributes his multi-vitamins, called Vitacell, in townships in the Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape.

A spokesperson for the Rath Foundation this week referred comment to the department.
