Something like that yes.

The one that jumped out appologised profusedly, kept on saying sorry but wouldnt look at me and never once asked if I was okay. When I told him I'm okay give met bike he just kept on saying get in, get in and I then started moving away from the vehicle for fear that he would shove me. He was never aggressive and but you never know what could have happened if I were naive enough to get in.

Elmarie from Harlyn Neighbourhood watch has been fantastic and is visiting businesses and other possible cameras to see if they can find footage

The taxi has a very distinctive engine noise and when I saw them pull over outside Grootte Schuur Primary school I actually thought they had a breakdown. When I heard it behind me minutes later I knew something was gonna go down. I expected them to pull in front of me and jump out to take the bike, they chose to hit me from behind, just hard enough to have a proper fall and give them enough time to load the bike. They told me to get into the van but I refused and they then took off. Very grateful that they decided the bike was enough for them.
