Kuban’s CV and work related experiences all over Africa and abroad read like a real-life James Bond movie script, and the bloody scenes he encountered while assisting the injured, not the fake kind found on a film sets or theatre stages.

Kuban, who was born in Durban, started his Emergency Services Career in 1994 right after completing his Matric. He dedicated his early years in EMS to delivering high quality emergency care, responding to accidents, fires, natural disasters and many other medical emergency situations. This passionate EMS provider who was able to remain calm under pressure and react swiftly in urgent life-threatening situations soon qualified as an Advanced Life Support Practitioner. He was immediately seen as a motivational leader with strong interpersonal skills.

With 22 years experience as a paramedic and 15 years working in the Vaal, Kuban has seen the best of us at our worst, most vulnerable times… when our hearts stopped beating; when our families were in danger or when we needed to be extricated from car wrecks… he has been there to hold us together, pick up the pieces and save lives.

Some years ago, as a Regional Commander at Sedibeng Municipality EMS, Kuban’s challenge was to take over Sebokeng Base, a rural base that was neglected and poorly performing. Thanks to Kuban’s action plans, proper management, thorough staff training and boosting the staff’s moral, Sebokeng Base has turned its reputation around from being the worse base to the best base in the Vaal Triangle region – and that in a mere 11 months! Sebokeng base became the flag ship base and all systems developed were used at all five bases within the Sedibeng Region.

Since then Kuban has worked both locally and internationally on a number of major projects. One of them being an Emergency Medical Development Programme in Lusaka, Zambia at the College of Anaesthesia and Emergency Medical Care sponsored by First Quantum Minerals Limited. His role as the Senior Lecturer was to train the first paramedics for the country, which resulted in 69 EMS ambassadors for Zambia.

Some of his other accomplishments include working as an offshore, operational, flight, remote-site, underground and surface paramedic in Mozambique, Tanzania, Burundi, Zambia, Gabon and South Africa.

In 2006 Kuban established ResQbude Emergency Solutions. A once simple emergency informational system has since grown to become an internationally dynamic Covid-19 responsible company leading the way in Emergency Training, Health & Safety and Cold Chemical Fogging. Their unique approach combines excellent education, tools and sanitisation practices allowing ResQbude to be an integral part in the fight to sustain life.

Good news for the Vaal is that ResQbude’s head office is based in Vanderbijlpark. Their training department offers locally and internationally recognised American Heart Association (AHA) and Resus Council of Southern Africa (RCSA) courses. ResQbude fogging is the only SASAC Accredited Cold Chemical fogging company in the Vaal.

What drove Kuban to be such a compassionate and dedicated medic? At the tender age of five, he and his family were involved in a car accident where he lost his dad. Kuban himself had sustained major injuries and spent most of the year in hospital not even knowing that his father had passed on. This profound understanding of exactly how precious life is, is what has enabled him to make such a difference in the lives of people who need his care and those who look up to him as a mentor and educator.
