SA hero rewarded for saving a drowning woman in London

Visser, who is working in fintech in London, told BizNews.com about what prompted him to jump, his injuries, how people filmed the event instead of helping - and the award he received for his bravery. – Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices.
