Lani, who is HIV positive, recently posted a video on social media that he was denied entry to a local clinic by security guards where he was going to pick up his antiretroviral (ARV) pills. READ: Bogus doctor Matthew Lani claims Health Dept denying him access to ARV meds He has since written to the commission accusing the Gauteng Health Department of giving a directive to its security guards to prevent him from going into any of their healthcare facilities. The department said despite its recent run-ins with Lani, it has never instructed anyone to prevent him from accessing its facilities. In October, the department opened a criminal case against Lani for impersonating a medical professional after he was caught at the Helen Joseph hospital carrying a stethoscope. Manager for the Human Rights Commission in Gauteng, Zamantungwa Mbeki said Lani is entitled to medical care, whatever his alleged crimes. "It is a serious complaint, and I don’t think we should take it under the cloud about who brought the complaint to the commission, any person can bring a complaint to the commission and we need to investigate it thoroughly,” said Mbeki. The health department said it will co-operate with the commission’s investigations.
