Dr Musa Mthombeni tests positive for Covid-19

Television personality and medical doctor, Musa Mthombeni has taken social media by storm in the past two months with his grand engagement and lobola announcements to former Miss SA Liesl Laurie.

His recent announcement, however was not so joyous after he revealed on social media that he had contracted Covid-19.

Mthombeni took to Twitter to announce that he has tested positive for Covid-19 after experiencing backaches and having a general feeling of being ill. “Your boy isn’t feeling great, Backache,” he tweeted 25 July.

“Aaaah. It’s COVID. I knew something wasn’t right. My symptoms were a headache and back pain. Tingle in my throat was non specific because of the change in weather,” he wrote.

The medical doctor also continued to tell his followers how he received his Covid-19 vaccination months ago, and that the symptoms he is experiencing currently are very mild.

“I got my vaccine months back and so far all my symptoms very mild. A little headache here and there. Sore throat and that’s it really,” he said in a separate tweet.

The television personality recently completed the lobola negotiations for his new bride, former Miss South Africa Liesl Laurie on 18 July, less than a month after the two had gotten engaged.
