South African country singer Sandy Lee, who frequently performs with the US-born country singer Greg Ray, said 'what happened to one of our singers is horrid, a disgrace and inhumane.
He was attacked in the early-morning hours at his home (in Carletonville) while the Eskom power was off. It was dark.
The thugs shot him in his only remaining leg: Greg only has one leg after he lost the other one in a car accident in 2010 back home.
Police arrived but - because Greg doesn't have medical insurance he could not get treated by ambulance personnel.
------------------------
(*note by editor: under the rules of the Johannesburg Ambulance service, run by the State, they will take blacks who were injured and have no medical insurance, but they refuse to take whites to hospital. This policy has resulted in deaths while relatives desperately tried to find paramedics willing to take injured or critically ill white people to hospital).
------------------------------
His wife Lavergne took him to the Carletonville state hospital where he lay, bleeding for hours, without any kind of medical attention.
Lavergne then loaded him in his car and took him to Potchefstroom hospital.
Meanwhile I called the emergency department and them he's on his way and they agreed to treat him at once.
It is a screaming disgrace that he and his wife were forced for hours to seek medical help to get a bullet removed from his leg. Without any medication against the pain.
What about HIS human rights. Or doesn't he have the right to medical care and just has to lay and wait like an injured animal and wait for lead-poisoning to start.
Excuse me but animals get more humanitarian treatment than this. A disgrace for the 'new' South Africa,' she wrote on her facebook page.
