Ok so this is what the chairwoman (who is the reason all these board members are resigning) had to say:
>In a statement, she said that she reported her own trustees to the Charity Commission, and the High Court heard her case and issued an emergency injunction to prevent the trustees from removing her.
When asked why she did all this, she said: “Well, because beneath all the victim narrative and fiction that has been syndicated to press is the story of a woman who dared to blow the whistle about issues of poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir — and the cover-up that ensued.
>“I could be anyone. I just happen to be an educated woman who understands that the law will guide and protect me. I will say nothing further on this matter at this time. I have one job.
>“I must focus on fundraising for the very important work of the young people who inspire the incredible team at Sentebale who make sacrifices daily at a time when geopolitics is severely impacting funding for development work in Africa. For me, this is not a vanity project from which I can resign when I am called to account.
>“I am an African who has had the privilege of a world-class education and career. I will not be intimidated. I must stand for something. I stand for those other women who do not have the ways and means.”
I’m still not sure exactly WHY the board is so opposed to her though.
Idk what happened here and there are no real details, but that’s a really pointed statement from the chair person.
> There are people in this world who behave as though they are above the law and mistreat people, and then play the victim card and use the very press they disdain to harm people who have the courage to challenge their conduct.
Like this seems very passive aggressively pointing fingers at Harry (?) specifically the “and use the very press they disdain” bit.
> For me, this is not a vanity project from which I can resign when I am called to account.
This could be about any of the board members but still overall a very Yikes statement by her.
