Two bogus doctors have been arrested over the sale of sick notes in KwaMashu.
Preliminary information suggests the syndicate has been operational for at least a decade.
On Monday, members of the SAPS Economic Infrastructure Task Team set a trap for the pair.
It was discovered that a one-day sick note cost R100 while a three-day version cost R150.
Several replicated doctor’s notes were found on the premises at the Ithala Shopping Centre.
The names listed on the documents are real doctors, who allegedly suffered damages amounting to millions as a result of the scam.
The arrested men face charges of fraud and forgery and are due in court soon.

On Friday I phoned 6 individuals between the ages of 22 and 26 to start a job at our one butchery today. 3 guys, 3 girls. They all agreed, no issues.
Only 2 guys showed up.
lol. Tell me more about our high unemployment rate 😒.
If you believe in building strong and sustainable institutions, don’t underestimate the value of researchers who are obsessed with credible data and evidence.
Research is not Google searches, AI summaries, opinion pieces or repeating claims because they sound convincing. When leadership asks for research, it is a privilege and a responsibility that must be approached with patience, humility and seriousness.
Imagine making a major claim about the economy based on an opinion article that cites a report, only to discover that the report itself relies on another opinion article in the Business Day (@BDliveSA) rather than official data. That is how weak evidence gets recycled until it starts sounding like fact. It is also how organisations and leaders end up being misled.
I encourage all researchers to familiarise themselves with the work of Statistics South Africa (@StatsSA). Their officials are always professional, helpful and willing to assist those who genuinely want to understand the data. There is a reason we invite Stats SA to @EFFSouthAfrica Plenums every year.
Where do I even begin to explain how this is statistically bankrupt?

It's the FIRST managerial sacking of the 2026 World Cup. 😳
Two players (Sithole and Themba Zwane) who were not supposed to be in that Bafana Bafana #FifaWorldCup2026 squad let alone be on the first game of the tournament have been sent off 🟥🟥 2 red cards! The egg on Mr-Know-It-All Hugo Broos!
You are trailing 1nil with 10 men still left with 25 mins yet you sub in a 36 yr old slow paced player who can't even run, chase, closed the space and be aggressive - Yesess!! Hugo Broos Bafana Bafana tactical acumen is diabolical.
