Meet the registered pharmacist who’s behind Somayeza…
Somayeza was founded by Bandela Mgoqi (BPharm, MPharm, MPS), a registered pharmacist with a deep passion for making healthcare information easier to understand and more accessible to everyday South Africans.
With experience across public healthcare, medicine regulation, pharmacy management and digital health innovation, Bandela understands the challenges people face when trying to access trusted health information, manage medication, or navigate the healthcare system.
Somayeza was created to bridge that gap.
At its heart, Somayeza is built on a simple belief: people should not feel lost, confused or unsupported when it comes to their health. Whether it is understanding medication, finding reliable pharmacy guidance, or accessing practical health tools, Somayeza exists to make healthcare feel more human, more useful and more within reach.
Behind Somayeza is a pharmacist who believes that healthcare should be clear, compassionate and designed around real people.
