Medical Research Council President Professor Glenda Gray has come under heavy fire from the government for statements she made in the media about the rationale behind the country’s lockdown regulations. Then on Friday afternoon, 22 May, a letter to the board of the council, sent by Acting Director-General of the Health Department, Anban Pillay, requesting that her conduct be investigated, surfaced in the media.
The response of the scientific community has been unprecedented.
Over the weekend, the move was criticised by organisations such as the South African Gastroenterology Society and the Perinatal HIV Research Unit at Wits University. However, perhaps most significant is a statement supporting Gray which, in less than two days, has been signed by 250 of South Africa’s leading scientists and academics, including deans of faculties, other members of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Covid-19, former Unisa Vice-Chancellor Barney Pityana and University of the Witwatersrand Vice-Chancellor, Adam Habib.
The text of the statement and the list of signatories at 6pm on Sunday 24 May follows below:
“As scientists, academics and policy experts, we are committed to being part of the complex policy response and debate on dealing with the epidemic of SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of Covid-19) in South Africa. We recognise that it is impossible to have perfected the response to the epidemic, but course correction should be rapid and not defensive. With that in mind, we condemn the specific threat made against Professor Glenda Gray for expressing her opinion in public, which is totally out of step with the public pronouncements made by the president, welcoming criticism. We uphold the right to academic freedom of speech, and call on the South African government to engage openly with alternate views, and for all of us to urgently work towards constructive solutions regarding policy, in the interests of the country.”
