Global DNA Zimbabwe Responds To 'Unethical, Illegal' Allegations
Global DNA Zimbabwe has refuted allegations made by the Medical Laboratory and Clinical Scientists Council of Zimbabwe (MLCSCZ) that its conduct is unethical and is operating illegally.
On Friday MLCSCZ said Global DNA Zimbabwe principal consultant Tinashe Mugabe who hosts The Closure DNA Show and Tilder Moyo, Expedite DNA host on the Tilder Live Show are not qualified to release paternity results.
It said Global DNA Zimbabwe and Expedite DNA Zimbabwe were only registered as DNA collection sites and not authorised to conduct the actual tests.
The weekly programmes, hosted by Mugabe and Tilder, have gained popularity among ordinary Zimbabweans for exposing infidelity among couples.
Responding to the allegations by MLCSCZ, Global DNA Zimbabwe asserted that they are a legally registered entity.
The company urged the general public to disregard the MLCSCZ statement, saying they have not been banned from operating. Pindula News is publishing the statement by Global DNA Zimbabwe below:
