A health officer has found himself in hot water after a video, which has since gone viral, surfaced showing him in a compromising situation with a married woman.
While the location of the incident remains unclear, the video has ignited a social media frenzy.
The video captures a man wearing a jersey bearing the Ministry of Health badge. In the footage, both individuals can be seen urging others not to harm the man. While the health officer is covered by cloth, his identification and affiliation with the Ministry of Health have raised questions about his professional conduct.

The controversy surrounding the video has sparked a range of reactions across social media platforms.
Valentine Chipa (@ValentineChipa2) commented, “Haana mhosva, mukadzi ndiye ane problem kwirai vanhu sekuru nurse.” (He has no crime, the woman is the one with the problem. Focus on her, uncle nurse). Valentine’s comment suggests sympathy for the health officer and places blame on the married woman involved.
Sheila Tonga Bailey (@stbailey7) added, “What is this supposed to achieve, we need to start being vigilant in governments first. Those praising have just not been caught. The woman broke her vows to marriage. She should be arrested too.” Sheila’s remarks reflect her belief that both parties involved should be held accountable, and she emphasises the importance of transparency within government institutions.
In a lighter tone, Chirandu humorously remarked, “Bro got deployed deep in the rurals for work 🤣, chikara chikamutsemu.” (The guy got sent to the rural areas for work, and the situation caught him off guard). Chirandu’s comment humorously references the health officer’s rural deployment, adding a touch of humour to an otherwise serious situation.
Authorities are yet to comment on any official investigation into the matter. However, with public outcry intensifying, many are calling for both the health officer and the woman involved to face consequences for their actions.
