gavel thumb100 Bogus pharmacist Miyelani Carol Maswanganyi (43) appeared in the Hlanganani Magistrate Court in Limpopo on Wednesday for operating a pharmacy without a licence.  This was a direct contravention of sec 22a (1) of Act 101 of 1965 relating to medicines and related substances.  

The Hawks Commercial Crime Unit conducted an intelligence driven operation in August 2016, during which two bogus pharmacists were identified in Sekororo and Mamaila Villages and were closed down.  The owner of the Sekororo bogus pharmacy was arrested during the operation, but Maswanganyi, who owned a bogus pharmacy at Mamaila village, could not be found.  A manhunt for the suspect was launched and she was later located.  The suspect then appeared before Hlanganani Magistrate Court on 22 March 2017.  Maswanganyi will be back in court on 5 April 2017.
