“We have learnt of this incident with shock and dismay. It is spine-chilling to consider that these paramedics could have lost their lives over a mere cellphone. We are relieved that their lives have been spared and hope they will make a speedy and full recovery,” she said.
“Incidents such as this are a sign of the times. As society, we need to ask ourselves if this is the life we want to live, where criminals run amok and ordinary people’s lives are cheapened to a point that they can be taken over a cellphone.” Simelane said the paramedics were attacked at their place of work, which is supposed to be a sanctuary.
“These are people who left their homes and came to work with the understanding that emergencies happen at any time of day and as paramedics they vowed to be there for their fellow countrymen in case they get sick or injured and need urgent medical attention. But this is the thanks they get. “An incident such as this should have no place in society. It is reprehensible and we call on the community to work with law enforcement authorities to bring this perpetrator to book so he can face the full consequences of his actions.”
