Western
Cape Health MEC Nomafrench Mbombo has warned that if attacks on paramedics
continue, they will not be sent out to “danger zones” any more.
The
minister spoke at the Philippi Stadium last Wednesday during a protest attended
by more than a thousand emergency services workers who fear for their safety
while on duty.
Paramedics
marched through the streets of Browns Farm, known as one of the hot spots for
attacks on emergency workers calling for duty.
42
incidents have been recorded since the beginning of the year, which include
assault, robbery, theft, vandalism and hijacking.
The
Minister has also called on the community to help alleviate this problem
