Stars quit Unicef events over dismissal
In a statement released last night, the Hollywood actors — who are supported by fellow actor Roger Moore — said the departure of the “exceptional” official was “damaging” the reputation and ability of the group.
They said the decision to remove Ms Verwoerd — which reports have claimed was due to her relationship with controversial broadcaster Gerry Ryan — meant the needs of children were not being put first. The trio called for the immediate re-employment of the 43-year-old South African.
