Tsakane – A 59-year-old employee at Pholosong Hospital responsible for transporting goods and staff members was arrested by EMPD Monitoring and Evaluation and Community Liaison Unit members on Thursday.
He was arrested for presenting a fraudulent Professional Driving Permit (PrDP) as a valid and genuine document to his supervisor.
