EWN reports that the City of Johannesburg indicated on Monday that it was hoping to track down more suspects who colluded with a health worker stationed at the Parkhurst clinic who allegedly sold fake Covid-19 negative test certificates to travellers.
A 28-year-old man who worked for the city was due to appear in the Booysens Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning following his arrest at the weekend. He was expected to face charges related to fraud and corruption as well as possession of stolen goods. The City’s Lucky Sindane said that they were also trying to track down those who bought the negative test certificates for travelling purposes. "This suspect was not working alone, there are people that he was working with, especially from the laboratory. We expect to make more arrests, as the investigation is ongoing," Sindane indicated.
