This is where our social disease of mindless violence actually will result in negative effects on the perpetrators and their environment. More of this and Emergency Services will refuse to enter certain areas, for very obvious and understandable reasons, just like the times of urban struggle. Is this the way we want the wheel to turn?

Cute: Tragic as it is, the reality is that things reach a point at which people are not willing to put their lives at risk to help a community that will not protect them. That is just real life. Report Abuse

RobinH, I get you, however it is not fair to paint all townships with the same brush. This is in reference to Sin's comment. Report Abuse

Cute123 - We read about medics being attacked in townships quite often. A few months ago, a medic was raped and robbed. Why put your life on the risk to try and help someone else?
Fine, lets not stereotype all townships, just the ones where problems have been happening. Report Abuse

Mafu'theNkukhu: "The [solution], police must accompany paramedics always in case of emergency." Very true, and that will probably be what happens, so twice the cost of each call, and a skewed use of police resourcs that could be used elsewhere. All because we are becoming a nation of savages. In the time of urban struggle this is exactly what was happening. Report Abuse

Solution is for people to learn not b eat/mug/steal from the helpers of savings lives.
