The Gauteng Department of Health issues an urgent public warning about unregulated injectable substances marketed for body enhancement and sexual performance. The department says the products pose significant health risks because they are not approved or properly regulated, and they may contain harmful or unknown ingredients. Authorities investigate the source of the injections after two people in Ekurhuleni reportedly suffer severe complications, including organ failure. Health officials caution that many of these injectable products are sold online and through informal channels, where quality controls are limited. The department urges the public to avoid illegal or unlicensed injections and to seek medical advice from qualified health professionals instead. Officials also indicate that the warning follows concerns that these substances are being used for procedures sometimes associated with cosmetic enhancement, and that individuals who choose such products may face serious, potentially life-threatening outcomes. The investigation focuses on where the substances originated and how they are being distributed.
