Pretoria Cyclists Held at gun point yesterday

[MoutMonster]

I would just like to warn fellow cyclists about N4 westbound, close to that Sasol garage.

 

We were a bunch of cyclists, but 2 ladies were separated from the group - only by a few hundred meters. Two guys were pretending to casually cross the road and then jumped in front of the ladies and a gun at the them, forcing them to stop.

 

They took all their valuables: earrings, rings, phones and luckily left them unharmed. (It happened yesterday Sunday 19 Feb) :-( Please be careful on that route!

If the papers are correct, the WC is undergoing an influx from other provinces.
