Johannesburg - Springs residents were shocked to see their "doctors" leave the surgery in handcuffs after being arrested for pretending to be medical practitioners when they were not.
Sick patients who were waiting to be attended to had to be turned back after they were informed that the people operating from those premises were actually bogus doctors who had been arrested. According to spokesperson for the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Kobedi Mokheseng, the three arrested men are from Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
One of the men, he said, was busy drawing blood from a patient when police pounded while another was dispensing medication. Mokheseng said they descended on the premises last week Wednesday after getting a tip-off that there were some criminal activities taking place at a doctor's surgery at Palm Springs Mall.
