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.
