Doromongy Faces Backlash for Allegedly Selling Ozempic Injections

Mongy Semakaleng Mathobela, founder of Doro Mongy Empire, is under fire for reportedly selling Ozempic injections.

Known for her diverse product range, including skincare and gym sets, Mathobela allegedly added the diabetes drug—commonly misused for weight loss—to her offerings. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) has warned against unauthorized Ozempic sales, citing potential health risks and its limited availability for diabetic patients.

Controversial blogger Musa Khawula claimed the injections were priced at R23,000, sparking legal and ethical concerns among social media users.
