A bogus doctor was arrested in Soweto for allegedly issuing fake medical certificates to motorists seeking to apply for public drivers’ permits.
The woman was arrested on Tuesday after law enforcement agents from the National Traffic Anti-Corruption Unit, the Hawks, the Health Professionals Council of South Africa, the Medicines Control Council and Home Affairs raided her surgery.
Medicines, patient files and government documents were confiscated during the arrest.
“The arrest brings to five the number of bogus doctors arrested in Gauteng in four weeks as part of Operation Recall.
“The doctors are all originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo and use the practice number of a local doctor to conduct their business.” – SAnews.gov.za
