I am a resident of Groenkloof in which area KK falls and which I try, on a good week to ride twice a week and which I and a number of other cyclists were still riding this morning. Last night a special community meeting (Groenkloof Security Initiative) was held, attended by around 200 residence to discuss, amongst other things, the spike in crime in the area over the past two months. In the longer term the idea is to have monitored access in Groenkloof. In the shorter term - immediately, the key proposal is to put patrol vehicles at the major access points in Groenkloof, of which one is at the corner George Sorros and Herbert Baker. They have called for contributions from residents to pay into a fund for this service. Interestingly the meeting was informed about the attempted bike high jacking so there is concern all around. It might be a good idea to link up with the GSI coordinators and the preferred security company that patrols this area i.e High Risk when u do the sweep.
