Neighbourhood watches mobilised to escort paramedics into risk areas

The Western Cape Minister of Health, Theuns Botha, and Western Cape Minister of Community Safety, Dan Plato, will brief the media on 21 August 2012 on a pilot to mobilise neighbourhood watches to escort paramedics when they enter high-risk areas. The initiative follows the recent knife attack on a paramedic in Khayelitsha.
