Emergency medical crews are coming under attack while on duty across the country. In the Western Cape alone, more than 40 incidents of violence directed at paramedics were recorded last year. In a bid to protect paramedics, so-called red zones were declared in the province in 2016: areas that paramedics dare not enter without a police escort. But, even with additional security, their safety is not guaranteed as the red zones become increasingly dangerous. For these paramedics, putting their lives on the line to save critically ill or injured patients is all part of a day’s work. This Sunday, we join these unsung heroes as they enter the dark side of the city on a busy Friday night to reach their patients.

Where (which resource) can I find the list of red zones in Western Cape?
Thise people who rob and hurt our paramedics forget they are the ones whos families need emergency services
shocking... for me ( Paramedic in Germany )
my highest Respect for my Colleagues who save Lives under this Conditions ❤
Germany will be like south africa soon
@@grumpygamer5163 spend every Year min 3 Month in ZA...
and yes we already got the first Sighn's and attacks against Rescue , Firefighters and Police are rising since Years... 🥺
so I can compare it, I'm agree...
since 2015 we have here Stitch and Bulletproof West's at our Ambulance Cars... in Germany and of course instant help by the Police, if we need, this delays our Time reach the Place/ Patient by max 10 Minutes...
@@grumpygamer5163 so true! By the way they are getting rid of their farmers is astonishing. Soon Famine will hit Europe 😞
@@jenskunze4536 this is one of the best run public ambulance services in the country. In other parts it can take six hours to get a public ambulance. Or 100-1000 euro for a private one, much more for helicopter.
For those who can’t afford it, the morgue picks up the shortfall.
It's crazy how people live in these perilous times. Thanks to the medical proffessional's. Big up to all who dedicate their lives to perform their duty.
Mhle kodwa u Claire🤞🤞
Not much choice in this life
I honour these brave paramedics 🙏🏽
A dedicated group who needs our utmost respect. Thank you for your bravery ❤
Welcome tro South Africa, where first responders dont even have contact with each other and have to physically go to the station. Proudly bgrought to you by The African National Corruption.
I agree with your anc sentiment but this particular story is a result of DA incompetence
@@michaelangelo6818How is it DA incompetence when it is national legislation and SAPS that don't allow shared radio frequencies for first responders?
This is definitely a DA problem.
@onlyeverydaysa5029 no it isn't. DA only has regional administration power. SAPS and other national services are under ANC. Dom p
The same people who complain about the ambulance service taking to long, are the same people who safe guard the criminals.
100%. When a crime is committed all of a sudden there are no witnesses
Paramedics deserves a raise, they should be paid as much as Doctors.
They should be paid the same salary we gave the springbok players. It's pathetic that we glorify sportsmen for kicking a ball but we treat our healthcare workers like trash
Wow wow, relax. Doctors do a crazy amount of work.
@@therambler3713 so they should be paid accordingly as do professional sportsmen and women
Charity starts at home so communities should root out all crimes
Thank you to all paramedics ❤
The too much freedom is another challenge the country is facing.
Too much freedom?
Yes too much freedom, don't worry I get what you saying!
Sick
@@kingnandi_sa?
We need a police force that will be dedicated to work in such conditions not SAPS. SAPS is for Certifying and RAF because they carry guns but scared to go to such places.
The people inthese communities are very reluctant to work with law enforcement thats why we get these kind of situations.
They are super brave! Amazing attitudes.
Thank you ANC😢
Cape Town is DA run
@@michaelangelo6818 DA does not control SAPS and their alloctaed budget you moegoe
I think that education and providing jobs are a must in those so called "Red zones". If you can provide for your family and have enough electricity to light the area's, crime will be lower.
Scariest thing any paramedic ever saw was his/her payslip.
True I have nightmares about mine every night
I admire paramedics dedication 👏 despite difficulties they face every day.
my highest Respect for my Colleagues who save Lives under this Conditions thank you
Thank you to all the paramedics ❤️doing your job (especially when it’s to help others) should not put you in danger 💔

Well done Paramedics,.... Crime intelligence should be ahead
Hats off to all paramedic that u go through thanks 😊 🙏
My friend is a medic he got robbed at gun point at a scene he has even been shot at while trying to get to a patient. He now has to use a bulletproof vest under his work clothing n now carries a firearm.
Thank you for doing this I hope ple can see what we have to go through. I myself was a victim in a red zone before and its so sad you go to help ple then get robbed and gunpointed.
These are real heroes
Extremely sad😢
Bruh
Nig props to the paramedics in SA. A thankless job to a large extent, and with the violent crime here in SA, I can only imagine the type of things they must see. They should be paid far more than they are, because I think very few people would be able to cope under these conditions.
What's so annoying is the same communities that complain non-stop about how "Cape Town only provides services to the rich", are the same communities that attack the people doing their job.
It is so unfortunate that people must go through that. It is also 100% up to the community. The community can get together and say no more. But that requires some people with a strong backbone and morals.
South African law enforcement is failing us😢
One of my best friends works as a paramedic in Cape Town
absolutely amazing documentary
Just dnt offer service in those areas. the community needs to decide if they are protecting the gangs or want to make the communities a better place. I lived in these red zones and the community loves the gangsters because they get food parcels from the gangs
Excellent idea.
Our lawsless country is a shame to the society.
Imagine if those,emergence paramedics denied to attand those red hostle red zones.
Eventually more lives will definitely be loss.
Not naming the Redzones was kinda ridiculous. This is not some government classified information. Cmon…
The 11 zones are: Browns Farm in Philippi, Tafelsig, Hyden Park, Nyanga, Gugulethu, New Crossroads, Manenberg, Hanover Park, Kalksteenfontein, Site C in Khayelitsha and J-Section in Lingelethu West.
Added to the list now are Beacon Valley, Rocklands, Heideveld and Chicago in Paarl. Making a total of 15.
Here for anyone interested.
@@JxxzphI don't even reside in S. A and I am so invested
Sad what the world is turning into, these paramedics are doing such an important job in saving lives by risking their own and people should respect them for that. I take my hat off to these selfless people.
A lot of private sector paramedics carry fire-arms, I've actually seen a paramedic make a citizens arrest of a bag snatcher. But I believe that first responders to avoid dangerous areas so that the communities themselves can expel the threats so that they can have access to care.
But they wil not give up their gang bosses
It's not as simple as you think.
@@thubelihlentuli454 nothing in live is but dont put other peoples lives at risk if you are not prepared to do the right thing
When their love ones die they want to complain and say "the ambulance took so long to get here",when their own people are to blame.you have to be a special pos to rob and assault people who wants to save your community.the criminal element in cpt never ceases to amaze me😑
Something is terribly wrong where staff like paramedics, and fire and rescue, get attacked...
Please investigate Fidelity Security who are using green response lights illegally. These are reserved for disaster response vehicles. By using them they are associated green lights with security thereby endangering emergency personnel by association.
It's tough being a doctor
We'll pay and support SA rugby and other sports players thousands of not millions to kick a ball for entertainment. Yet people don't care a hoot for healthcare workers who save lives and make meaningful contributions to society
HI , HAPPY S- AFRICA SINCE 1994
our soldiers in the DRC but we civilians and workers have RED ZONES
Die areas wat so wetteloos is moet onder krygswet gesit word.
Ons het 'n president soos in El Salvador nodig. Maak skoon van 'n kant af.
Useless ANC with its 'Minister of condolences' needs to exit..😡😤
Capetown should have a bigger budget for police and medics
National government will never allow that. They can't have the WC seem completely functional especially nearing election times. Western Cape should have gone its own route and became it's own sovereign state long ago.
What are you basing that on buddy? Honestly
They need to wear body armor
The DA has failed Cape Town residents
I think they must work with security patrol on this one also why government just gives security work to patrol with them?
What happened to this beautiful country ?
Private Security will help you more than the police
Red zones in cape town can be ready off hand out paramedics fear for their lives everyday we have back logs of emergencies over worked staff but our metro ambulance staff get hurt and for what? For nothing
To steal drugs from ambulances and some gangsters find it offensive for EMRS to rescue their targets. They even follow the ambulance to the hospital to finish off the hit
In Gauteng Paramedics don't even show up.
Something is really wrong with Western Cape. Nkosi sikelela!
Labashayne
Claire is 🔥🔥🔥.
Cape Town.....The best run city in the country....for who?
Cops are run by ANC government, not DA. Of course they are going to make sure that WC SAPS are understaffed and undertrained. It serves their interests to give their opposition a harder time to maintain rule of law.
White people. The future that lurks from the darkness should the DA run this country by itself. It's all about images and no functionality since Helen and her toilet saga years ago.
If only the police did their job
If only everybody in South Africa was under one political party things might be better. Until then nothing changes
Clearly not clued up about who controls National services.
Just dont go into these red zones.
These people are wasting the emergency people who help others in need.They should just leave these people and let them get on with it. If you live by the Sword 🗡️ you die by the Sword.
My kulid brothers are living like Americans
Why can you only comment on certain videos only
Can someone comment "its the foreigners"
😅😅😅😅 recorded 150223 released 140223 thank you for not scaring tourists
South Africa is not a real country. How can you attack paramedics.
Useless palamenterian high salary for doing nothing, this people deserve better,,,not this arrogant fikile mbalula
Full 360 camaras on the ambulance and body cams nobody wants to be on evidence
The same Cape Town that Democratic Alliance always prides itself with
These things do not happen in European countries. Why?
It is now happening in Sweden, all thanks to the left in Sweden importing massive amounts of people from the middle east and Africa.
Because Europe looted and still loots countries for the resources needed. That's 1 reason why.
Not yet. Coming to all neighborhoods soon. The immigration crisis is going to spiral out of control.
@@stblad3 immigration of who?
@@steven320 at present London, UK, has only 10% British citizens. The rest is just about the whole world that has immigrated there. This is happening everywhere.
The people should be scared of the law coming in. Not saps scared of the "red zone".
If they are so dedicated, why does it take them 4 hours to arrive.
Depends on the priority of the call. Multiple P1 calls will get a normal call moved down.
Try walking in their shoes…
Make the western cape and independent state.
It can barely function as a province
No country in the world had ever given away territory to satisfy the fragility and delusions of a group that has a history of hostility against the natives. It would be a crime if such happened.
@@thubelihlentuli454uhm do you even know the history of the Zulu's?? Every culture has a history, how far do you want to go back??
@The504_ it's all I ever learnt as a child for I am Zulu and I live at the heart of what was the Zulu kingdom. I know where you wanna go with your argument but it's incomparable. We've established that kingdoms weren't a bright idea ,in fact the USA is a testament to that fact.
@@The504_ tell us this history with sources
Human life is very expensive,and the paramedic as well. So drastic measures should be taken now.
