Letter from Anthony Brink to Trevor NCube, CEO of the Mail&Guardian of South Africa, dated 8 February 2007.

"I write to you because although your M&G is a commercial newspaper just like all the others, it has billed itself as the country's conscience from the time it was founded in the apartheid era, speaking truth to power and all that, even claiming the original Manchester Guardian's mantle as the voice of the oppressed. So by rights the M&G shouldn't stint at causing a serious disruption of the international business climate by reporting a vast and murderous swindle by an immensely wealthy and powerful Western pharmaceutical corporation such as GlaxoSmithKline, selling AZT, a purpose-designed cell poison, to Africans under the pretext that it's a beneficial medicine."
