I don't have a lot of details, just what I saw on Race 4 better hearing's facebook page:

With only 36 days to go to our tour, it is with great mourning that we are sad to announce the tragic death of one of our team members, Sharmein Lategan. She was killed tragically yesterday as she was busy cycling in the East of Pretoria. She was such a dedicated cyclist with a soft heart who could not even do harm to an ant! The reserved one in the team, yet her dedication and perseverance had an impact on all of us! Even though we are all nervous right now with so little time left, we will not stop our tour or our dedication, but rather we will dedicate this tour to our friend and teammate! This weekend we will all be wearing black mourning bands as we participate in our training camp and we challenge you to do the same! May your soul rest in peace, Sharmein, and may you rest in the arms of our Saviour!

Trying to find out - I haven't been able to get any more details. She was part of our club as well - Maniyak Cycles :( Would've gone to Sabie with us this weekend (if I'm not mistaken)

That is so sad - condolences to all friends, club members and family.

 

It is always terrible when we lose a fellow cyclist but being so close to home really hits hard.
