What would you do ?!


On 3 May 2006 we received a call from the public that people are jumping from a building in JHB CBD. On arrival on scene we quickly learnt that it was a building fire and people are indeed jumping from the building. A mother of a 8 month old baby was on the top floor of the building. - Five storey building -. It is to be believed that the mother and her boyfriend had an argument and he set the flat alight. The mother went out on the balcony and dropped her baby from the fifth floor to the ground, she followed shortly afterwards.


A brave MR Ndlovu caught the baby before it plunged into the ground. The baby escaped unharmed and was later treated by paramedics for smoke inhalation. The baby's mother was admitted to a nearby hospital for a couple broken bones.

Head-on Result in Fire


The other day we were coming back from Baragwanath Hospital and decided to take back routes through Jo'burg for a quick cup of coffee at Clearwater. My partner said she know a quicker route through Weltevredenpark, as we turn down in Albert Street we saw this..... A car collided head on with another car. When we arrived on scene we only saw smoke, no flames. We climbed out and suddenly an explosion ripped through the neigbourhood. The car is busy exploding... or sounded like it is. The driver of this unfortunate vehicle was pulled out of the car just before it burst into flames. Luckily we had no injuries on scene.
