Six other medical practitioners have also submitted independent complaints to the HPCSA.
Ramlakan and Dhlomo were practicing as medical doctors during the attacks and are still registered as medical practitioners.
Ramlakan admitted before the TRC his involvement in the 1985 bombing of the home of politician Amichand Rajbansi and the Chatsworth magistrate's court.
He also admitted before the TRC that "people were injured in some of the other attacks executed by people under his command."
Dhlomo also admitted before the TRC that he had supplied explosive devices for various explosions in Durban on 27 September 1985, at the OK Bazaar, Game, Spar and Checkers.
Other incidents in which he was involved, were the explosions in the same year at Grosvenor Girls High and the Executive Hotel in Umlazi.
Amanzimtoti Bomb:
Afriforum stated in its complaint that Dr Dhlomo also transported Andrew Zondo, the man who had planted the Amanzimtoti bomb which had killed civilians, from the Swaziland border to the Durban area.
Civil rights organisation AfriForum lodged official complaints of unprofessional and unethical conduct with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) against two doctors who were involved in ANC bomb attacks at supermarkets and shopping centres in the Durban area in 1985.
AfriForum brought these complaints after Dr Wouter Basson was prosecuted by the HPCSA for his actions during the previous dispensation.
Protecting the Constitutional Principle of Equality before the Law:
Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, said the complaints are aimed at protecting the constitutional principle of equality before the law.
"If the HPCSA are going to act on ethical grounds against Wouter Basson for his role in the conflict of the past, it is only fair to expect of the HPCSA to act on ethical grounds against other medical practitioners who were involved in bombings during the same conflict, where people were hurt or killed, or where the possibility existed that people might have been hurt or killed."
Ramlakan and Dhlomo were practicing as doctors during the attacks and are still registered as medical practitioners.
Ramlakan admitted before the TRC his involvement in the 1985 bombing of the home of politician Amichand Rajbansi and the Chatsworth magistrate's court.
