19-year-old bogus doctor caught in the act
She is only 19 years old. She applied for a Cardiologist position at the Pietersburg Hospital in Polokwane, Limpopo and she was shortlisted. While she was sitting at the Department of Health offices in Polokwane waiting for her turn to be interviewed for the position, the teenager got more than what she bargained for when the Hawks pounced on her.
The Krugersdorp-born teenager allegedly used a fake American cardiologist certificate to apply for the position. Further investigations unearthed that the suspects did not have a Grade 12 certificate and that prior to her shortlisting for the post at the Pietersburg Hospital she had already been introduced to the staff at the Net Care Hospital also in Polokwane where she was supposed to start her job as a cardiologist.
The suspect will appear before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Thursday on charges of fraud.
