The countdown to Goodmass has begun and for the ninth day of Goodmass, we’re featuring four amazing police officers taking on the world, one gang at a time.
Good Things Guy spent the year doing good things in partnership with First Choice and their #Move4Goodness campaign, from planting trees after the Knysna fires to cleaning beaches and even teaching kids about the environment… so we’ve decided to look back at the year together, and bring you all the Top stories of 2017 (with all the updates of the people who inspired us this year).
This is the 10 days of Goodmass, good news stories to uplift you, just in time for the holiday season!
For the 9th day of Goodmass, we’re sharing the story of four female rookie police officers that took on a gang and managed to arrest them without firing a single bullet.
It is pretty exciting seeing girl power in action! Especially when it is done efficiently and by the book! A group of four female police officers, all newly recruited, caught six armed robbers in Durban’s city centre.
The ladies are officers Mbuyiselo Kunene, Nokukhanya Dlamini, Ntombifuthi Dlamini and Ashleigh Conwaywere. They have proven that girl power rocks and are pretty much the coolest role models we have seen!
The heavily armed gang held up employees at a McDonald’s in the city’s Pixley Isa Ka Seme Street back in July 2017. A passerby flagged down the patrolling officers and alerted them to the robbery taking place. The six men fled into a crowded taxi rank. Backed up by the male officers the women stopped the gang from escaping in a taxi.
They cut the taxi off, guns drawn they removed the gunmen from the packed minibus. The ladies recovered unlicensed firearms used in the robbery as well as the money taken in the heist.
“It was exemplary work in a stressful and dangerous situation” – Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane, Police spokesman
Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane gave the ladies high praise for their arrests. He said the gang was subdued by the team of female officers, who remained calm under pressure!
In partnership with First Choice and their #Move4Goodness campaign, Good Things Guy is sharing the Top stories of 2017 and spreading the Goodness around just in time for the holiday season.
Stay tuned as we share the most feel-good stories of 2017!
