We sat down with two real-life lifesavers whose jobs kick in when everyone else is panicking. Dr Thandeka Ngcana, South Africa’s first Pediatric Neuro-Oncologist, pediatrician, medical oncologist at Chris Hani Baragwanath, former helicopter emergency services doctor — and a mom of two — shared critical medical advice every parent and adult should know. Alongside her was Kyle Nesbitt, Chairman of Search and Rescue South Africa (SARZA) Gauteng, a seasoned volunteer with over a decade of frontline rescue experience, from flood operations in Limpopo to disaster relief missions in Mozambique.

Together, they broke down what to actually do in real emergencies: cars trapped in floodwater, choking, head injuries, drowning, snake bites, kids swallowing button batteries, and getting lost while hiking. They busted dangerous myths, explained the biggest mistakes people make under pressure, and highlighted the one simple life-saving skill everyone should learn. It’s practical, calm, expert advice that could one day make the difference between panic… and survival.
