Dr Musa Mthombeni took to Twitter on Sunday to reveal his Covid-19 status.
He said that he was not feeling well and had a backache.
Later in the thread he confirmed that it was indeed the Covid-19 virus that had got him.
“Aaaah. It’s COVID. I knew something wasn’t right. My symptoms were a headache and back pain.
“Tingle in my throat was non specific because of the change in Weather,” he wrote.
