Security Officers pull drivers from burning car

In the early hours of the morning on 14th January 2011 two Bidvest Magnum Officers went beyond the barriers of their responsibilities.

Morris Chauke (Site Security Supervisor) and Sibonisine Miza (Security Reaction Officer) were on site at Dimension Data when they heard a loud noise. On investigating they found that two vehicles had been involved in an accident and, as a result of the collision, both vehicles were in flames.

The Security Officers contacted the Dimension Data Control Room via radio to inform them of the situation and then went about pulling the trapped drivers from their burning vehicles. By the time the Fire Department and medical emergency personnel arrived on the scene, the Bidvest Magnum security personnel had managed to extinguish the flames. Both drivers sustained injuries in the accident and were taken to hospital for treatment.

But for the quick reaction of Morris Chauke and Sibonisine Miza the two drivers could have been another vehicle accident statistic.
