Unfortuntaly anyone can make a sick note with a computer.
Some doctors are complicit but many of the fakes are merely those who make a certificate based on an actual doctor.
As a rule I call the practice and confirm that the patient was actually there. Checking the actual practice details is available online. Ill post the link tomorrow.

Hello Sterne.law, do you possibly have a link in which I can check a practice details as I am having almost the same issue with staff at the moment.Originally Posted by sterne.law@gmail.com
Many thanks

Just a quick update:
The HPCSA Investigators arrived today and have interviewed my staff and went to see the doctor himself.The doctor was not in - suprise,suprise! The HPCSA has agreed that the good doctor is not registered and that the HPCSA will be going ahead with criminal charges against him.
Good day, do you by any chance have the case number of the HPCSA, we have received a medical certificate from the same Dr but now practicing as a Traditional Healer.
your assistance in this regard will be much appreciated
