Dr Matthew defends himself as he is dragged for lying about being a real doctor

Dr Matthew Lani trends on social media as South Africans claim he is a fake doctor.

The alleged health practitioner who is famously known on TikTok claims he is a real doctor, and he has tried to defend himself.


“A social media “influenza” is claiming to be a Doctor. He’s 22 years old and apparently finished Matric” at 16 after skipping Grades 4, 6, and 8. He says that he finished Medical School at the age of 21. He also says his name is not listed on the “Health Professions Council of South Africa” as he uses different names on social media,” a Twitter user, named Brent Lindeque revealed.

“Doctors who were at Wits the same time (as he says he was) say they don’t remember him. He has been featured on radio and TV shows offering all sorts of medical advice (just like his TikToks) on getting clear skin like him, sorting out STDs, and even what to do when eating snails for the first time. His LinkedIn Profile says he is a “Content Creator” for Future Life and Nando’s,” he added.

He claims to have graduated from WITS University.

However, social media users have refused to believe his story, as he further dropped a video to defend himself, saying he does not need to prove himself.

Radio 2000 was mocked for believing Lani to be a true doctor and inviting him to speak on air.
