KAVISH Ramnarayan and Zithulele Ntshangase shared a common purpose: to help people in need. But both died doing so.
On Friday night, the two men responded to an incident on the N3 near the Liberty Mall in Pietermaritzburg where a truck had overturned.
Ntshangase, 47, a Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) officer, had cordoned off the area, allowing paramedics to assist the injured driver.
While Ramnarayan, 31, a tow-truck operator, was trying to recover the vehicle, another truck ploughed into them. Both men were killed
