January 12, 2011’Officer Down’ Produced by Adel van Niekerk
Behind a myriad of stories and terrifying statistics of police deaths and injuries on duty are real stories of human beings who for the love of serving their communities and the nation risk everything to save lives. Special Assignment brings you a horrid story of one such person – Cherise Cox – a former Durban Metro police woman.
For the past eight years, she has been fighting for compensation after she was injured on duty and left disabled. 24 operations later, her battle is yet to be won thanks to bureaucratic bungling and sheer incompetence.
