Mthombeni tests positive for COVID-19
JOHANNESBURG — THE joyous celebrations for the happy newlyweds have had to take a short break after Musa Mthombeni announced that he has COVID-19.
Television personality and medical doctor, 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 is not feeling great, Backache,” he tweeted.
“Aaaah. It's COVID-19. I knew something was not 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 told 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 are very mild. A little headache here and there. Sore throat and that's it really,” he said in a separate tweet.
The television personality completed the lobola negotiations for his new bride, Laurie on July 18, less than a month after the two engaged.
Musa and Laurie were matching on their big day, as she wore a red one shoulder dress that was made from a traditional cloth with traditional patterns, accompanied by a matching headwrap, while Musa wore a black traditional outfit which was detailed with the cloth that was used to make Laurie dress.
The couple took their newly-wed lobola pictures in front of a breathtaking waterfall view, and took to social media to post the pictures on their separate social media accounts, with Musa stating in his caption that her lobola cows were well fed.
