Armoured Mobility now offers bank financing for armoured vehicles in SA
Armoured Mobility has introduced bank financing options to make armoured vehicles more accessible to a wider market in South Africa. Previously, a full upfront cash payment was needed to bulletproof a car, a financial commitment that was out of reach for many. Armoured Mobility, a division of the DigiCars Group, has partnered with unnamed financial institutions to introduce a more flexible financing model. 'Our goal is to make high-level personal protection more attainable for individuals and families,' says Nabeel Khan of Armoured Mobility. 'By introducing these finance options, we are enabling more South Africans to invest in their safety without the burden of a full upfront capital outlay, thereby preserving their financial resources.' Khan cited the example of a Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max with B4 armour that provides protection against handguns, South Africa's most accessible armoured SUV, starting at R1,299,900. With a R300,000 deposit, Khan says the monthly instalment at the 10.75% prime interest rate over 72 months is R19,000, with no balloon or residual payment. 'This development extends peace of mind beyond the home and outside your gates, ensuring protection during daily commutes and activities, such as the morning school run,' he said.

Emergency team races through wet streets to save life
In a gripping race against time, a pregnant woman's life and that of her unborn child was saved through the coordinated efforts of Best Care Emergency Medical Services, CrisisOnCall, and #WithCheryWithLove. The emergency team sped through the streets of Pretoria on 24 April in a specially equipped, sponsored Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, provided by Chery Centurion, to deliver a neurosurgeon to her bedside in record time. 'This is one of those calls that reminds you why you chose this path,' said Xander Loubser of Best Care EMS, reflecting on the intense but miraculous night. 'There was no room for hesitation. Two lives were at stake.' The woman required emergency neurosurgery to remove a brain clot. With a GPS estimate of 40 minutes to the hospital, the odds were daunting but the team arrived in just 18, navigating rain-slicked roads from the Moot to a hospital in Pretoria East, traffic, and intersections with sirens blaring. 'God guided us through the streets,' Loubser said. 'By His grace alone, the mother and baby are alive today.' The operation was part of an initiative involving Best Care EMS, CrisisOnCall, and Chery Centurion, using specially equipped vehicles to support critical medical emergencies. 'The question today is one that everyone is asking: 'How are the mom and baby from yesterday?' I'm relieved and grateful to say that a healthy 3.3kg baby has been born, and the mother's procedure went well. The thrombectomy was successful, and this morning she met her new-born for the first time. Her limbs are functioning well, and she's aware of her surroundings.' Loubser pointed out that he stands in awe of God's grace. 'Well done to the surgical team. Many have thanked us, but we were merely one part of a larger instrument. We will meet the mother and her family soon. I think they'll be overwhelmed and thankful for everyone's prayers.' The story has captured the hearts of many, highlighting the importance of fast action, faith, and community. 'This mission was a privilege and an honour,' added Ruan Vermaak, spokesperson for CrisisOnCall. 'Moments like these remind us why we do what we do: to serve, to save, and to make a real difference. Thanks to incredible teamwork and divine grace, two precious lives were saved.' Click here to see video of the drive: Do you have more information about the story?
