Fuming kwaito veteran Eugene Mthethwa has threatened legal action against Netcare Waterfall City Hospital and a physician who allegedly prescribed the wrong medication on an assumption that he was HIV positive when he was admitted at the private hospital two years ago.
“The matter was served before the second committee of preliminary inquiry on July 11 2019. The committee resolved to accept the explanation of the doctor in terms of regulation 4 and close the matter,” reads the correspondence between Mthethwa and the HPCSA, which the artist shared with City Press.The Soweto-born member of kwaito group Trompies, which made its mark in the mid-1990s, has vowed to fight for justice.
“He then insisted on running blood tests, even after I questioned him on his misconduct, but he still continued,” he says, adding that his treating specialist was also shocked by the physician’s behaviour.His receptionist told City Press that he was out of the country, attending a conference. Mthethwa alleged this was a situation commonly experienced by celebrities, whose conditions get disclosed without their consent when hospitalised.The hospital has since distanced itself, saying in correspondence to Mthethwa: “We would like to kindly request that you address your complaint directly to the physician.”
