Fake Tiktok Doctor Faces Intense Scrutiny From The Medical Community

Fake Tiktok Doctor Faces Intense Scrutiny From The Medical Community

In a jaw-dropping revelation that has sent shockwaves through South African social media, a popular Tiktoker known for dishing out medical advice has been exposed for allegedly lying about his identity and qualifications.

The individual who goes by the name Dr Matthew Lani boasts over 200k followers on TikTok and claims to be a doctor, is now facing intense Blackish from the medical community and the public alike.

The TikTok sensation, who goes by different names on social media platforms, has been masquerading as a medical professional, boasting that he finished Medical School at the tender age of 21. However, South African doctors have come forward to challenge his credentials, raising numerous red flags regarding his claims.

One of the most glaring inconsistencies in his story is his age. Despite asserting that he is 24 years old, official records from Home Affairs reveal that he is actually 27. It seems that the truth is rapidly unravelling, casting doubt on everything he has said about his life and career.

Perhaps the most shocking revelation is that the individual in question is not registered with the “Health Professions Council of South Africa,” a necessary requirement for anyone practicing medicine in the country. This significant omission has led many to believe that he is, in fact, a fake doctor.

Moreover, fellow students who attended Wits University at the same time as he claims to have been there have expressed doubts about his presence. They assert that they have no recollection of him being part of the academic community during those years, further undermining his credibility.

His LinkedIn profile, which states that he works as a “Content Creator” for Future Life and Nando’s, adds another layer of complexity to the situation. It appears that he has been juggling multiple identities and professions, leaving his followers and the public bewildered.

The controversy doesn’t end there. The Tiktoker’s contradictory statements about his education, age, and relationship history have raised even more questions. He previously stated that he was 20 years old in 2019, which should make him 24 today. However, his age as per official records on the Home Affairs website doesn’t align with this claim.

What we know about Dr.Matthew Lani so far.

•His name is indeed Matthew Bongani Lani.
•He is not a real Dr.
•He is actually 27 and not 24.

But my question is why? Why is he doing all this?

During a past appearance on Relebogile’s show, he discussed his relationship and made references to his time at UJ. This begs the question of how he transitioned from UJ to Wits, considering the inconsistencies in his academic history.

As South African doctors tirelessly piece together this intricate puzzle, the public is left wondering whether this charismatic social media figure is indeed a doctor or simply a masterful imposter.

The unraveling of his identity and qualifications serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of online deception and the importance of verifying the credentials of individuals who wield influence and authority in any field.

As the investigation unfolds, we can only speculate on what further revelations may come to light. One thing is clear – the truth behind this TikTok sensation’s claims is far more elusive than any of the medical advice he has provided.

He has since reacted to the exposé by doctors on Twitter in below video:

We will keep you posted on the latest developments in this shocking case as they unfold.
