Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.  It is however sad that the advocacy group actually has a point.  A Bicycle scheme needs to include bike maintenance and repair and a supply of spares.  (But so does a school bus).  What is even more worrying is the incidents of theft and sexual assault on school children in the rural setting.  South Africa is rotten to the core at all levels. :cursing: :angry:

He is just a bully who thinks he can do as he likes. I can almost guarantee you had there been a hefty Nigerian instead of a pensioner in the Rover things would have been different, its easy to intimidate the weak and vulnerable.

 

I hear he was suspended from his job, but it also seems there is a determined effort to do a "Bell Pottinger" on him, and to force his business associates, suppliers and customers like Porche SA to remove themselves from this toxic entity and by implication drive him out of business.

I say good, its unlikely the courts will do much if it even goes that far, but the public in SA smells blood, and buoyed by recent successes like at BP and KPMG they are creating a voice to force associates to distance themselves and leave this scum to stew.

When he cant pay his premium and they repo his Porsche maybe then he will learn that you cannot behave like an animal anymore.

Interestingly enough, the video footage is all we have to go on.  What happened prior to the clip is unknown.  Based on this caveat, some interesting things are worth noting.  Firstly, both he and his passenger were aggressive and abusive towards the driver of the other car.  Secondly, the he assaulted the driver and at least one innocent bystander in the video clip.  Thirdly, he made NO ATTEMPT what so ever to civilly engage the other driver to exchange details and drive together to report the accident at the police station.  Fourthly, he effectively fled the scene of the accident and possibly various crimes.

 

To add to this after he realised that he was caught on social media he laid counter chargers against the other driver, such as "inciting public violence" ext.

 

I think that you do not "JUST" become a 70 year old in a range rover.  I think that if the 70 year old lawyers up (Which it seems he does not have to do because of the social media backlash), this "Mr I drive a Porsche" is going to need more that his annual income to make right.

 

I suppose he can pull a "Zuma" and postpone the case for an eternity.

Yes, Mr O Leary seems to think its okay to violently kick in all 4 doors, break off a mirror and a rear screen wiper because the elderly man, according to him, bumped his Porche.

 

Well, I think Mr O Leary will quickly learn that the two are completely separate issues, a mild bumper bashing does not give you the right to destroy anothers property and traumatize an elderly man.

 

But as I say, I think the indignant public voice is going to economically and personally hurt this bully far more than any possible court action would have.

I bet you he is not sleeping well at night after this and the back lash.
