UDM appalled after JMPD officer denied emergency medical care

The United Democratic Movement (UDM) in the City of Johannesburg says it is appalled and disturbed by the inhumane and unethical treatment of a Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) officer who was reportedly denied emergency medical care after being shot in the line of duty. UDM says it has noted with grave concern that Milpark Hospital allegedly refused to treat the officer citing an alleged municipal debt of R35 million. To discuss this further Elvis Presslin spoke to UDM Councilor in the City of Johannesburg and Chairperson of the S79 Committee on Gender, Youth and People with Disabilities, Yongama Zigebe
