Bogus Doctor Performs Surgeries On Patients In Gokwe

A former nurse from Mbizo 5 in Kwekwe has been convicted of illegally practising as a medical doctor and performing four surgeries in Gokwe.

As reported by The Herald, Admire Munyeki appeared before Kwekwe Magistrate, Grace Tupiri, facing four charges of violating the Medical Act by falsely presenting himself as a medical practitioner and engaging in unauthorised medical practice.

He carried out surgical operations on four people who had approached him seeking medical help.

Munyeki pleaded guilty to the four counts and was remanded in custody to Thursday for sentencing.

The court heard that on 05 January 2024, Munyeki purported to be a dental practitioner when he was approached by Stella Sibanda who had a toothache.

Munyeki extracted Sibanda’s two teeth and she started experiencing some pain.

Sibanda went to Samuchembu Health Centre where she was examined and the matter came to light.

On the second count, on 01 March 2024, Munyeki circumcised Daison Chelo who had approached him complaining of some pain in his private organ.

Chelo also started experiencing some complications and he reported to Samuchembu Health Centre where the offence was discovered.

On the third count, Munyeki also misrepresented himself as a medical doctor and operated on Taimon Ndege who had a hernia.

Ndege developed some complications and was taken to Gweru Provincial Hospital where the offence was discovered.

Munyeki also pretended to be a medical practitioner and carried out surgery on Erisha Siakachoma’s neck and removed a growth.

Siakachoma later went to Samuchembu Health Centre.

The police arrested Munyeki at a funeral wake in Chirape, Gokwe, on Monday last week.
