TMG Digital/TimesLive report that a paramedic was suspended on Friday for “discriminatory remarks” on Facebook about weather conditions in the Western Cape.  

Netcare 911 managing director Craig Grindell said the employee would face a disciplinary hearing next week.  He went on to indicate:  “We completely distance ourselves from the paramedic’s unacceptable comments.  Netcare and Netcare 911 have a firm‚ zero-tolerance stance towards discrimination of any kind.  We will not hesitate to take the strongest possible action when made aware of any action and or behaviour of a staff member which transgresses the company’s values‚ ethics and code of conduct.”
