Fake Sick Notes Bust in KwaMashu
Description
Two men in KwaMashu, Durban, were arrested for running a decade-long scam selling fake sick notes—charging 100 rand for one day off and 150 rand for three days, even using real doctors’ names. The bust happened at the Ithala Shopping Centre after an undercover cop, tipped off by a local drug addict who pocketed 50 rand, swooped in as a customer asked for a note. Authorities suspect the operation may have lasted up to ten years, and one real doctor whose name was used is reportedly relieved. Police haven’t confirmed charges yet, but this exposes a dangerous underground market exploiting workplace trust.
