NEWSWATCH: A church pastor says he can heal the sick - even if they have HIV/AIDS; the TAC says the claims are tripe, and they are not happy with e.tv for flighting the programme in which the claims were made, reports IOL, which also reports that it's baffling as to how Public Service and Administration Minister Richard Baloyi will sort out the dispute between Communications Minister Siphiwe Nyanda and Mamodupi Mohlala - the director-general he at first seemed to say he hadn't fired, but in fact actually had.

IOL: e.tv in hot water... The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) says e.tv is promoting quackery - which it says has cost at least two lives; the channel aired a weekly 30-minute church paid-for advertorial in which a pastor claims he can heal several life-threatening diseases, including HIV/Aids.
IOL: DG, minister row: minister mum... As usual, no one seems to be saying much - and when they do, it may be wise to take it with a pinch of salt.
