A joint operation involving Komani Crime Intelligence, DPCI, K9, VIS, and the South African Health Products Authority netted two suspects aged between 33 and 40 one of whom masqueraded as a Medical Doctor on Thursday the 21st January 2021 in Molteno, Chris Hani District. The operation followed after information was received from Crime Intelligence in September 2020 that one of the suspects was practicing without a license and operating as a medical doctor in Molteno. The reports further alleged that she was not registered with the Health Professional Council of South Africa, but nonetheless was dispensing medication to patients. Reports suggest that the bogus doctor started practicing in 2018.
