In 2020, Limpopo’s Provincial Coronavirus Command Council accused some teachers of submitting fake doctor’s certificates on their vulnerability to Covid-19 because of comorbidities to avoid returning to work on 6 July. In a statement released at the time, the council said education authorities had received more than 700 applications from teachers to be exempt from attending school due to comorbidities, but only 400 had been granted.

The command council said they were seeing suspicious medical certificates being provided with applications “from a certain section of doctors”. When asked for more clarity, Premier Stan Mathabatha’s spokesperson Kenny Mathivha said: “The Health Department, with the assistance of police, is investigating as it is believed that some of the doctors and the medical certificates are fake”.
