Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Jon-Jon saved a 51-year-old male who was shot several times in an apparent attempted robbery while cycling.
He saved the cyclist near the Letamo Estate in the Kromdraai area.
Jon-Jon Pietersen is telling his story on Breakfast with Martin Bester this morning.
Jon-Jon was driving in the Cradle of Humankind area looking for new hiking spots with his friend, Alex. The GPS navigated Jon-Jon to take a different route but he insisted he stayed on the route he knew.

By doing that, Jon-Jon came across a man on the side of the road. What sounded like a whisper, the shot cyclist called out “help me”.
A message from the cyclist's daughter took Jon-Jon by complete surprise.
Martin Bester caught up with Jon-Jon a week later to find out how he is doing.
He is glad he had the training and grateful for his family who is always there in a crisis.
Jon-Jon said instinct took over immediately and all he wanted to do was to save the cyclist’s life.
