The Democratic Alliance’s Mike Waters will today lay a charge of contraventions of the provisions of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act (101 of 1965)

According to Waters she will be charged for her association with a product which is being rumoured as a cure for Aids to desperate HIV-positive people in South Africa.

Ms Qunta is director of a company called Comforter’s Healing Gift (Pty) Ltd and it has been disclosed by recent public hearings that the company makes products which have not been properly tested.

“The sale and marketing of the substance is not only illegal, but grossly unethical and exploitative,” says Waters.

The charge against Ms Christine Qunta will be laid at the Cape Town Police station.
