News24 reports that two security guards who were responsible for guarding various clinics in the Gert Sibande District Municipality have been arrested for allegedly stealing and selling medication.
Khethiwe Moloi and Dumisani Aaron Mahlasela appeared in the Evander Magistrate's Court on Wednesday and were each released on R3,000 bail. They were arrested on Tuesday after the Mpumalanga Hawks received information that a security guard in the area was selling medication. When Moloi's house was searched, officials allegedly found various types of medication and surgical gloves. Further investigation led the team to Mahlasela’s house in Emalahleni. During the search, different medications that require prescriptions were found and confiscated. He was also arrested. The medication included contraceptives, flu medication and painkillers. The two guards have been charged with the contravention of the Medical Act. The case was postponed to 14 July for further investigation.
