Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Two Mhangura nurses who operated an illegal clinic in Mhangura have been fined ZWL$$150 000 each by a Chinhoyi magistrate.<\/p>\n

Henry Norbert Mahogo (55) and Mafios Choto (age not given), appeared before Chinhoyi Provincial Magistrate Melody Rwizi to answer charges of contravening the Medicine Allied Substance Control Act.<\/p>\n

Mahogo is employed as a registered nurse at Makonde Christian Hospital.<\/p>\n

They pleaded guilty to all the charges and were fined $50 000 each for the three counts.<\/p>\n

This means that Mahogo and Choto will pay $150 000 each or spend 360 days in prison.<\/p>\n

Prosecuting Odrah Chitoro told the court that on 30 July 2021, detectives were on duty in the company of Emmanuel Makotore checking on compliance with pharmaceutical requirements.<\/p>\n

Makotore (38), is employed as an Inspector by the Medicine Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) and his responsibility, inter alia, includes inspection of premises and ensuring compliance to minimum requirements.<\/p>\n

Mahogo was visited at his surgery at Hope Clinic where Whisper Mahere was found manning the premises.<\/p>\n

Mahere indicated that she was on the premises as a locum nurse and the clinic was owned by Mahogo.<\/p>\n

Searches were conducted and there were medicines found which were not registered with MACZ\u2019s category of medicine distribution.<\/p>\n

The team of detectives also found expired medicines namely Frusemide 40 mg tablets and Fosure skin cream in contravening of statutory instrument 150\/ 1991.<\/p>\n

It was also established that Mahogo was unlicensed personnel, practising or carrying out the business of a pharmacist in an unlicensed premise in contravention of the Act.<\/p>\n

Mahogo and Choto were represented by Martha Magama of Fortune Murisi law firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
