ComMed, a no-cost emergency medical response service, aims to bridge the gap between patients and government or private emergency services by providing first responder care, stabilising patients until more advanced care arrives at the scene of the emergency.
ComMed directors Caleb Fin and Denver Ramnarain are ready to announce the raffle winners.
According to ComMed director, Caleb Finn, ComMed is a non-profit, community-based volunteer service which serves a large area, including the northern and southern suburbs of Roodepoort and Florida, Bosmont, Randburg, and surrounding areas.
ComMed director Denver Ramnarain asked a member of the audience to draw the raffle tickets.
“This fundraiser played a crucial role in helping us maintain and even expand our footprint,” says Finn.
The event consisted of an exciting 80’s show and a raffle with a variety of prizes up for grabs.

"Johan is an internationally published journalist and editor with extensive experience in news and industry reporting. His work has featured in numerous publications over the years.
He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community.
