The incident was one of at least two cash-in-transit robberies on Monday, after a van was targeted early in the morning in Westenburg, outside Polokwane.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring said, when paramedics arrived on the scene in Centurion shortly before 11:30, they found personnel from another emergency service already attending to the security officer.
“Upon closer inspection, paramedics found that a security officer had sustained a gunshot to his lower leg,” Meiring said.
“Paramedics treated the man and provided him with pain-relief medication before he was transported by another service to a nearby hospital.”
