EWN Nov 8 2011 15:00: The Gauteng premier admitted on Tuesday at a press-conference -- also attended by the comatose Afrikaans pupil’s uncle Johan Ferreira -- thhat Mmemezi was inside the government-BMW that had knocked and critically injured matric-pupil Thomas Ferreira on Sunday. The official SAPS statements and the MEC’s spokesman up to that point had all claimed the opposite, namely that Mmemezi ‘was not inside the car and that the vehicle was not part of a blue-light convoy’. However Gauteng premier Nomvula Mokonyane and the MEC were inside the Ferreira home on Tuesday and then emerged to address the news media . Mmemezi was on the scene but was quickly whisked away after the crash,’ she said. Mmemezi said nothing to the news media. NOT EVEN ONE WORD OF APOLOGY ABOUT THE AFRIKAANS YOUTH'S HORRIFIC INJURIES.

Nov 8 2011 - RANDFONTEIN. Matric pupil Thomas Ferreira, 18, is in a coma with suspected brain damage after being knocked down - allegedly by the official blue-light BMW of a Gauteng MEC over the weekend. The Krugersdorp Afrikaans high school pupil on his way to his girlfriend’s home in Randfontein on his motorbike when he was hit by an official vehicle of Local Government and Housing MEC Humphrey Mmemezi. THE MEC WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. The vehicle was a super-deluxe white BMW X5. Witnesses said the driver of the blue-light BMW 'did not even look at the child he'd knocked down: her got out to look at the damage to his car'. Thomas is in a critical condition in the ICU of the Krugersdorp Hospital. He has a fractured arm and leg, several facial fractures, and swelling and haemorrhaging of the brain. His parents, Paul and Priscilla Ferreira, said on Monday he is in a coma and on a ventilator.
"The hospital phoned this morning [Monday] to say they were going to perform an operation to insert a monitor in his brain and relieve the pressure," Ferreira said. "After the operation the doctor phoned to say it looks as if there is serious brain damage." Witnesses Peet and Lizanne van Wyk were also on their way to Randfontein when they saw the accident take place. THE GUY IN THE BMW OVERTOOK THE TAXI ON THE LEFT OF THE YELLOW LINE. HE JUMPED THE RED ROBOT AND HAD KNOCKED DOWN A CHILD ON A MOTORCYCLE: "We were in the turning lane and there was a taxi on our left.
The guy in the BMW overtook the taxi on the left on the yellow line. He jumped the red robot," said Lizanne van Wyk. "He had no sirens, but did have flashing blue lights. Then I just heard a crash."We wanted to turn when I shouted to my husband to stop, because the guy had knocked down a child on a motorcycle," she said. According to Van Wyk, the man "did not even look at the child"."He got out and looked to see what the damage was to his car."The Van Wyks then phoned an ambulance. They said the driver was by himself in the vehicle and was not part of a convoy. It was reported earlier that Mmemezi was also in the vehicle........................... THE OFFICIALS WHO LIED ABOUT IT: Victor Moreriane, Mmemezi's spokesman said that 'according to police at the scene that was not the case." The driver (- WHILE CLEARLY fit enough to get out and look at the damage to the BMW'), was also "admitted to hospital for shock, neck and back injuries". Moreriane said 'the circumstances leading to the accident cannot be confirmed until the driver has been discharged and has made a statement.
"For the same reason he also cannot say why the driver apparently had the blue lights on, since the MEC was not in the vehicle. " Thomas' girlfriend, Chanel Kloppers, 16, a Grade 11 pupil, said he was on his way to her home so she could help him study. "We usually give him about 45 minutes to get to us, but this time he was taking much longer. I tried to phone him, but his phone was off. "I then phoned his mother on my mother's phone and just heard, 'Annemarie, Thomas was in a very serious accident'." Chanel's mother, Annemarie van Wyk, said they could not get through to the Ferreiras again. They then phoned the Krugersdorp Hospital, where they heard he had been admitted. "On the way to the hospital we were driving past the scene of the accident and didn't even think that was it," said Chanel. "Then we saw the orange of his motorbike… http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Matric-in-coma-after-blue-light-crash-20111107
