No record of 'pharmacist' Nthabiseng Ramokolo, confirms University of Limpopo

Ramokolo has gone viral on social media just days after the bogus doctor ‘Dr Matthew Lani’ was uncovered, with people expressing their doubts about her pharmacy qualification.

She has been captured in social gatherings wearing scrubs and a coat bearing the university's name and logo.

The University's Executive Dean of the Faculty of Health Science, Professor Tebogo Mothiba says this has created the impression that she holds a pharmacy qualification from the institution.

"After checking all records, the university would like to state that Nthabiseng Ramokolo is not a UL pharmacy graduate and that she was never a student of the university. Additionally, her claims on social media that she is a master’s student at UL are false.

"The records of the university do not contain any information on Nthabiseng Ramokolo, and our faculty members, as well as current and former students, have confirmed that they have never met her before," says Mothiba.

Mothiba says the use of the university name or logo by anyone to misrepresent their academic qualifications could lead to legal action.

"UL reserves the right to take whatever action necessary to protect its reputation and the credibility of its qualifications,"

Ramokolo's LinkedIn account claims that she works as a Junior Pharmacist at Dis-Chem in Savanah Mall.

The Dis-Chem group confirmed that they do not have anyone by the name of NthaBiseng Ramokolo employed by the group. 

"We believe the LinkedIn account information listed on this profile to be inaccurate," it said in a statement.
