The Gauteng Department of Education has confirmed that bogus doctor Matthew Lani who has been masquerading on social media as a medical practitioner has no matric.

According to the department, there is no existing record of a National Senior Certificate (NSC) for Lani.

“Our official records indicate that Lani was initially enrolled at Bordeaux Primary School in Randburg in 2007.

“However, he was referred to Gresswold Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSEN) School in Kew, Johannesburg in January 2010.

“This followed an evaluation at the time, which determined that his academic performance dictated that he be transferred to an LSEN school.

“Subsequently, his academic journey at Gresswold LSEN School came to an end in September 2012,” said Steve Mabona, the departmental spokesperson.

Mabona stated that Matthew re-emerged on their system in 2016 at Fourways Adult Centre.

He added; “This is where he wrote three subjects as a part time candidate. However, he only passed one of those subjects.

“Based on these records, and further verified information at our disposal from UMALUSI, we can confirm that Matthew Bongani Lani indeed does not possess a matric certificate.”
