Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Zimbabwean doctor who wept at a ZANU PF rally while praising President Emmerson Mnangagwa says he nearly died after he was stabbed in January this year.<\/p>\n

The doctor, Patrick Mugoni, on Tuesday said he was stabbed with a knife in his abdomen and had to undergo multiple surgeries.<\/p>\n

The attack is believed to have happened in South Africa where Mugoni now works despite claiming in 2018 that Zimbabwe\u2019s public healthcare workers were privileged. Posting on Twitter, Mugoni said:<\/p>\n

On January 9, 2022, I was attacked and sustained abdomino thoraco stab wounds after which I went through multiple surgeries.<\/p>\n

I have suffered from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), it feels like the experience is a part of me, that I am bound to it and will be affected by its power forever.<\/p>\n

However, thanks to the latest neuroscience, coupled with ancient ideas and methods, and following weeks of deliberate practise to unlock the psychological chains which bind me to my past I am finally winning the fight, thanks to the unrelenting efforts from the competent multidisciplinary team that has been attending to the task.<\/p>\n

When I look at my life I am a living testimony. God is great, he has been faithful to me.<\/p>\n

I will, in due time, share the details of the events leading to and the attack itself.<\/p>\n

Currently, I am unable to because the matter is before the courts.<\/p>\n

In May 2018, Mugoni, who was the secretary-general of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA), attended a ZANU PF conference in Gweru.<\/p>\n

While addressing the delegates, he thanked Mnangagwa for a salary increment but then broke down and failed to finish his speech.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Mugoni left his job in the public sector and joined thousands of doctors and nurses who have moved abroad. He now works in Pretoria, South Africa.<\/p>\n
