Vitals Spotlight – We Give the Doctor an Exam

Dr. Arikana C. Chihombori

Much controversy circled around the inaugural ceremony of South African new President, Jacob Zuma.  The issue centered around the Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, who was seen walking hand in hand with a mysterious woman.

As it was revealed shortly after, the mysterious woman, happened to be his niece, Dr. Arikana Chiyedzo Chihombori.  Tsvangirai lost his wife of 31 years in a car crash earlier this year, and as South African culture dictates, a mandatory one-year mourning period for a bereaved spouse is necessary to uphold. So the unidentified woman was automatically assumed as a love interest and had caused controversy, despite her sincere intentions of supporting her uncle at the inauguration.

“She was invited to the inauguration,” said the spokesperson for the Prime Minister.

According to Vitals, Dr. Arikana C. Chihombori, originally from Zimbabwe, is a family practitioner at Bell Family Medical Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  She had received her medical degree and completed her residency from Meharry Medical College School of Medicine in Nashville, TN as well as SUNY Downstate Medical Center.
