Doctor Katherine Mauchaza launched a complaint with the VMCZ over a story published by the Daily News of 3 January 2012 entitled, “Doctor in the Doc for destroying sister’s property”
The article alleged that Doctor Mauchaza ran amok and destroyed her sister-in- law’s property following an altercation over title deeds.
Dr Mauchaza complained that the article made unfounded and malicious allegations about her, which allegations were meant to tarnish her professional reputation as a doctor.
Doctor Mauchaza in her complaint says the matter was brought before the courts and she was acquitted but The Daily News and The Herald did not carry the acquittal story.
Dr Mauchaza says she wants both the Daily News and The Herald to publish the story of her acquittal as the original story reported was affecting her return to the United Kingdom where she is based.
Status Resolved
The MCC after due deliberations engaged both the Herald and The Daily News who both published the acquittal stories in their editions of 31 January 2012 (Daily News) headlined, “Harare doctor acquitted of malicious damage to property charges”. The Herald also carried a story of the acquittal after the MCC contacted the paper.
