Scandal! actor Thabo Malema's wife, Hlengiwe Mbambo, will finally get justice for her botched hysterectomy. With the support of the Economic Freedom Fighters Women's League, Mbombo's story has received wide coverage after she filed a case with the HPCSA against Dr Kwaw Asante and his assistant.

After about a year since suffering complications from a botched hysterectomy, Thabo Malema's wife, Hlengiwe Mbambo, filed a case with the HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa).
According to ZiMoja, the HPCSA held a hearing on Tuesday, 30 January 2024 to determine Dr Kwaw Asante's fate, who was Mbambo's gynaecologist and performed her surgery.

EFF Women's League rally behind Mbambo
The EFF Women's League is in full support of Hlengiwe Mbambo and held a peaceful protest outside the HPCSA offices in Pretoria for the hearing.
Speaking to Briefly News, Hlengiwe said the love and support gave her a much-needed boost:
"It made me feel so supported. Fighting with other women gave me the strength I needed for that day. I honestly felt the care."
The match was to raise more awareness of the rampant growth of negligence in the health sector, where people like "Dr" Mathews Lani seemingly walked off with just a slap on the wrist.
Twitter (X) user ingridmothiba3 shared photos from the protest:
The ladies are seeking justice for Mbambo against Dr Kwaw Asante as well as the assistant doctor at the time, who allegedly was not registered with the HPCSA.
In 2022, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, Hlengiwe was advised to undergo a hysterectomy where, instead of just removing her womb and ovaries, Dr Asante mistakenly cut out her ureter as well.
In a video posted by Jhb_ward126_eff, Hlengiwe opened up about her struggles since the surgery and is seeking justice:
Metro FM weighs in on Matthew Lani's interview
In an earlier report, Briefly News shared Metro FM's response to the claims that it had given Faith Mangope a warning after she interviewed "Dr" Matthew Lani.
While the sit-down generated huge numbers, which is probably what they were gunning for, it led to ongoing criticism of the station as well as Faith for seemingly promoting Lani and his bogus credentials.
