Gynaecologist suspended over suicide tweet boast Tankiso Makhetha > By Tankiso Makhetha - 27 January 2021 - 17:26 Dr Melusi Dhlamini
A doctor who took to social media to boast that his actions led someone to commit suicide after the individual apparently made homophobic slurs has been suspended.
Marie Stopes Clinic on Wednesday afternoon confirmed that Dr Melusi Dhlamini, a director at the clinic in Sandton, Johannesburg, had been placed on suspension.
The suspension comes just hours after Dhlamini took to Twitter on Tuesday night where he claimed that he pushed an unidentified individual to commit suicide following comments made on Facebook.
In the tweet, Dhlamini further claims to have got the unknown individual blacklisted from SA tertiary institutions. Sowetan has not been able to establish the identity of the person. It is not clear what the person said that led to Dhlamini’s reactions.
