Dr Matthew Lani has been arrested by Security at Hospital where she went to shoot TikTok content in an attempt to convince her TikTok followers that she’s a real Doctor weeks after the Gauteng health department opened a criminal case against him for impersonating a doctor. The fake health practitioner who is famously known on TikTok claims he is a real doctor, and he has tried to defend himself. She even tried to jump the wall fence when she was caught.
Early this month the department opened a case against Lani for “weaving” his way into Helen Joseph Hospital and claiming to be an intern. Lani recorded videos from the hospital wearing scrubs and a doctor’s name badge which he posted on social media.
The Health Professions Council of South Africa refuted claims he was a registered health practitioner, while Wits University — where Lani claimed to have obtained a medical qualification — said he did not graduate from the institution.
However, social media users have refused to believe his story, as he further dropped a video to defend himself, saying he does not need to prove himself.
