Pity poor old Charles Sibindana - fined $140 for taking a week off work, because he told his employers he was pregnant. 

Sibindana, 27, stole a certificate from a clinic during his pregnant girlfriend’s checkup, a court near Johannesburg heard. He then added his own details to the note and submitted it and took seven days off work, because he didn’t realise that only women consult gynaecologists. 

Unsurprisingly his employers became suspicious and investigated. 

On passing sentence Magistrate Bruno Van Eeden warned Mr Sibindana “not to walk around faking sick letters from gynaecologists”.
