I Love Fourways on Twitter tweeted a video of the Netcare 911 helicopter taking off and said it was after an incident at Fourways Mall.
I Love Fourways responded to a Twitter user saying a construction worker had fallen.
According to Netcare 911’s Chris Botha, a construction worker fell six to seven metres from scaffolding.
He said, “On the corner of Fourways Boulevard and William Nicol [Drive], Netcare airlifted the construction worker to hospital.
“The employee suffered severe fractures and further serious injuries.”
Fourways Mall has been under construction for more than a year.
