A 36-year-old woman was traveling the Somerset Hospital for a check-up when she went into labour. The mom, Bomikazi Hlabongi, ended up giving birth at the busy Station Deck interchange. Security SA (SSA) operations staff member, Rafeeq Khan, gushed online after he helped a pregnant woman give birth.
The woman identified as Bomikazi Hlabongi approached the Security staff and they took her to the guardroom.
The staff tried getting an ambulance for her but it took longer to arrive and the officers had no choice but to help the lady. One of the security officers identified as Rafeeq Khan took to his Facebook page to share the experience with his followers.
In his post, the kind guard recounted how people judge them saying that a uniform should not define who one is. “We always get judged on what we do and the steps we take to uphold the law; I was always told this uniform shouldn’t define you as a person but how could I if I get to play different roles every day. Sometimes you a psychologist, fireman, mechanic and a bearer of bad news,” he wrote.
