Netizens quickly remembered Lani and how he dribbled the whole country into believing he was a doctor.

@ms_tourist jokingly said:

"Lani Matthew what what multiplied."

@Tembisa_Funk said the bogus doctor had come back but is now in his backyard:

"Matthew Lani has multiplied and manje seka la ekasi lami [and now in my hood]."

@Jane_Mashigo called the bogus doctor's arrest:

"Throw away the keys mxm."

@mabuyepheth questioned the bogus doctor's sanity:

"Why would a sane person do that kodwa? "

The GDoH expressed grave concerns over the incident

The department emphasised that unqualified individuals posing as medical professionals commit criminal offences and endanger innocent patients' lives.

Practising medicine without being registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) is illegal.

An investigation has been launched in collaboration with the police to determine how the imposter infiltrated the hospital.

The attorney is now being investigated through the Special Investigating Unit's spokesperson, who believes there was a misunderstanding.
