SowetanLive reports that a 54-year-old Cuban national who works as a doctor at a Limpopo hospital was released on a warning after being accused of stealing medication at her place of work.
Dr Yamilet Castaneda appeared at the Thabazimbi Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday over allegations that she stole medication from Thabazimbi Hospital. The National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA’s) spokesperson Mashudu Malabi said Castaneda was released on warning and the matter was postponed to 28 November for further investigation.
The incident took place on 2 September when a security officer at the hospital’s main gate conducted a routine search and found unauthorised medication in the doctor’s bag. The officer alerted management, and a further search of her office led to the discovery of additional medication. The total value of the recovered items is estimated at R1,780.87. Castaneda was arrested on Wednesday last week on her return to SA after she had reportedly travelled to Cuba.
