Criminals target health department vaccination teamsFive men held up a Tshwane vaccination team at gunpoint on Friday, the same day Gauteng emergency service workers held a march to highlight ongoing attacks on paramedics. As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of AMBREYMARCUS1 I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of AMBREYMARCUS1 . I'm sorry to say that irrespective of what marches are for the only people that will take any notice of them are those already doing what's being asked for. Gender abusers, racists etc will not change because of a march/demonstration asking them to. At least I don't think so.
