"Emergency services in Cape Town, are similar to those in other major cities, providing assistance in medical emergencies, fires, and law enforcement situations. To call for an ambulance, you would need to dial the national emergency number, which is 10177. Alternatively, you can also dial 112 from a mobile phone to reach emergency services. Once connected, you will need to provide your location, the nature of the emergency, and any other relevant information to help the dispatcher send the appropriate assistance," remarked another expat who made the move to Cape Town, South Africa.
