We feel very honoured indeed by your presence. To the Maharaj family who are here today - Dr Maharaj, Dr Pather’s father and mother, to her young daughter of 11 years - we truly draw great inspiration from you �" the care, support and closeness that you evidence as a family is overwhelming. Due to the medication's toxicity her hearing is now impaired.ĭr Pather is lucky to have the support and love of her family, especially her husband Dr Shane Maharaj, whose love for his wife is written all over his face when he tells the story of his wife’s pain and suffering. We have also been appraised of another healthcare practitioner, Dr Thabiso Thusi in Port Shepstone who contracted MDR-TB, possibly in her private practice or maybe in our hospital. Her aspirations were short-lived when she contracted the multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and is now in need of permanent care as the TB bacteria have left her a paraplegic.
Dr Pather is a young medical officer who was looking forward to a successful career in medicine, committed to serving the poor and a dedicated wife. Madam Speaker, now allow me to acknowledge the presence of Dr Nerissa Pather with whom I spent an afternoon at her home after hearing the story of her acquiring tuberculosis (TB) at work eight years ago.

In the spirit of the African tradition of honouring the departed, I would request that before I begin with my budget presentation for 2010/11, we respectfully bow our heads in silence, recognising the passing on of three of our stalwarts within the medical professional and political space: Dr Mantombazana Tshabalala-Msimang (the African Ambassador on Maternal Health former Minister of Health in our country and to her last days Member of our National Parliament - ISIGAGAYI) Professor Fatima Meer (a retired scholar of sociology and stalwart in political activism who through her medical sociology lectures influenced various generations of medical students to understand the organic correlation between poverty and disease) and again, only a few days ago, the Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Molefi Sefularo, whose handling of the 2010 FIFA World Cup preparations for South Africa remains unsurpassed.
