Dr Musawenkosi Mugomba, a medical doctor, and his wife, Ms Zanele Kanye, a psychologist, have been arrested following complaints from neighbourng businesses regarding suspicious activities at their establishment, the International Autism Centre.
Dr Mugomba also provides medical services at Mpilo Central Hospital.
Concerns began to surface when adjacent business owners reported a significant increase in foot traffic to the Centre, particularly from members of the LGBTIQ community.
One local business owner, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “I’ve noticed more people coming and going from the Centre recently. They seem to be a part of the LGBTIQ community, but I can’t say for sure what’s happening inside.”
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that Dr Mugomba had been performing minor plastic surgeries at the facility, which has raised alarms among local authorities.
The nature of these procedures and their legality is now under scrutiny.
A police spokesperson confirmed the arrests, stating, “Dr. Musawenkosi Mugomba and Ms. Zanele Kanye have been taken into custody following multiple reports of suspicious activities at their Centre. Further details regarding the investigation will be released in due course.”
As the investigation unfolds, the community remains concerned about the implications of these developments on both the healthcare services provided and the safety of the individuals frequenting the Centre.
The couple’s commitment to autism treatment and psychological services has now come under a cloud of suspicion, leaving many to wonder about the future of the International Autism Centre.
