If You Get Shot In SA, Take A Painkiller And Get Over It


The man shot at point-blank range during the robbery of SA's ambassador to the United Nations over three weeks ago is still begging hospitals to remove the bullet.

The Star in Johannesburg reports that one hospital sent him away because he couldn't pay R300 000, a second prescribed Panados for the gunshot wound and a third said it couldn't help him because he started his treatment elsewhere.

Phillip Mashiane is in terrible pain. He walks with great difficulty and has been unable to run his security business since the July 21 shooting. Adding to Mashiane's nightmare is that the police investigation is stalled because they need the bullet.
