Madagascar's education minister was sacked on 4 June after announcing a plan to buy sweets for students to take the edge off the "bitter taste" of a herbal tea the president says is a coronavirus remedy.
Minister Rijasoa Andriamanana said last week she was ordering US$2.2 million (S$3 million) worth of sweets to go with the Covid-Organics concoction, which some experts have warned is useless against Covid-19.
