- Bongani Khunjwa, an unemployed professional nurse, was photographed helping a man who was b*leeding out on the side of the road - Khunjwa saw the man sustained a head i*njury and he was b*leeding h*eavily - He used his training and an e*mergency kit, which he has in his car at all times, to help the i*njured man.
Khunjwa was on his way home following a gym session when he saw a c*ommotion on the side of the road. He went to i*nvestigate and found a crowd surrounding a pedestrian that was h*it by a car. The nurse added his humanity would not allow him to drive by and he ran to his car to fetch his m*edical kit. The Sowetan reported the i*ncident took place in Cosmo City, Johannesburg, on Sunday. Khunjwa realised the man had a head i*njury and he used the little he had to stabilise the man on the scene.
"He was heavily b*leeding from his upper body, the head specifically. I b*andaged him, and assisted as necessary to prevent further b*lood loss," he said.
Even though he is unemployed on the moment, Khunjwa did not hesitate to assist because he does not see his profession as a job, he views it as a way of life.
"I live it daily, it's within me, 24 hours a day, employed or not," he added.
The 30-year-old revealed his mother taught him from a young age to be selfless and it motivated him to help other people. The Mpumalanga-born nurse said he finds helping others fulfilling.
"Growing up, I've always wanted to help, to make a difference. It makes one look forward to each and every day," the heroic nurse added.
