H-METRO readers have blasted the gynaecologist who allegedly mistakenly cut a woman’s intestines during a C-section resulting in her death.
Dr Felix Simango was reported to have mistakenly cut the intestines of the late Kudzai Gweme during labour at CBD Specialist Hospital and Maternity.
Most readers said the doctor was negligent in carrying out his duties, while some think it was a genuine mistake.

Very sad, my mum suffered the same fate and fortunately she escaped death by a whisker. She had 4 more operations to clean the infection and developed a fistula. It was traumatic. That’s why I can’t seem to forget it. I cannot even say all the things, but it even reached a level of faking some results in a bid to cover up the mistake. She survived after almost six months in the hospital and for all that I am thankful. I saw a miracle. I am so sorry to the family in this story. I am actually sad, this could have been my mother. – Tariro Kucherera
