Fake doctor claims to be mentally ill

On his last month appearance before Extension II Magistrate Ntombizodwa Ncube, Dithebe also stunned the court by announcing his interest in pursuing studies in medicine. Then, Dithebe pleaded with the court to be lenient when passing the sentence because he pleaded guilty to the offence, showed remorse and he was a first offender.

Ncube listened with keen interest as Dithebe claimed that for more than three months whilst in prison he had not been taking his medication, hence fearing complications.
