Three people with no dentistry qualification have been apprehended at Springs in Ekurhuleni. According to Gauteng officials, the three people were operating an unlawful dental practice. The officers also confiscated several items, including the practitioner’s certificate.
Brigadier Mathapelo Peters says, “Several exhibits, including a fake dental practitioner’s certificate and equipment used at the surgery, were seized. The owner of the surgery, suspected to be a foreign national, was not at the scene and police are still looking for him.” The three individuals that were apprehended were charged with fraud and breaching the Health Professions Act.
Brigadier Mathapelo Peters also goes on to say that three police officials were also arrested this past weekend, one of the officers is a constable that was connected to a hijacking in Mamelodi. The Brigadier says the constable might be given a case of perjury after he reported a case of attempted murder when he was supposedly injured on the leg during a fight with one of the persons that was being hijacked.
Brigadier Mathapelo Peters says, “Initially he claimed he had been shot by a suspect who may have tried to hijack him. At a later stage, he was identified at the hospital as one of the suspect who had hijacked a Toyota minibus in Mamelodi. He was arrested at the Pholosong Hospital, where he had booked himself for treatment. He was off-duty at the time of the incident.”
