Quagga Posted December 27, 2019 Share if you look from the rangers side, it could have been thug who was on way to stab someone? One dont know what happened before they manhandled him. From rangers perpective he was just another trespasser without permit. We all know thugs dress up these days to blend in Will rather wait for full report before blaming anyone,Seriously? Did you watch the video? No need to push him arm that far up. Facepalm!!!Please tell me you did not have children.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted December 27, 2019 Share https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/watch-cycling-star-nic-dlamini-breaks-arm-during-scuffle-with-table-mountain-rangers-20191227 Shoeeeee weeeee SANParks have to do what they have to do and support their rangers as much as possible. But they have BIG problems on their hands! "As per the law, that is a transgression which requires them to be fined or apprehended," he added. "It is alleged that the cyclist became quite aggressive with the rangers, hence the scuffle. The arm may have broken as a result of him resisting arrest," Thakhuli explained." These are big statements from Mr Thakhul, who is up the creek without a paddle. This is not going to end well. Bloody hell, is the spokesperson seeing what he wants to see.......

The video only shows unschooled employees taking their uniform way to serious. They (all useless law enforcement) think they can manhandle everyone because they have some sort of uniform on.

Velouria Posted December 27, 2019 Share Just heard the interview on 702 radio with Donovan the witness that filmed it . He said Nic’s bars were pulled causing him to fall as he excited the park.The video then shows what transpired. He had to stop filming as he was threatened.Here is the interview: http://www.702.co.za/podcasts/196/the-best-of-afternoon-drive-with-joanne-joseph/275802/eye-witness-account-in-the-nick-dlamini-attack-by-rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted December 27, 2019 Share Donovan: prior to them puling on his bars, did they not request/shout at him to stop? Was he being hardheaded about stopping, that is, was there a situation where he almost knocked one of them over?

Velouria Posted December 27, 2019 Share This is SANParks' response: Here's SANParks' response to the brutal assault and attempted arrest of cycling star, #NicholasDlamini in Silvermine, Cape Town earlier today. His arm was broken. SANParks claims Dlamini didn't have the necessary permits, resisted arrest, and "injure(d) himself". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted December 27, 2019 Share The point remains that a properly trainer law enforcer will always do what they can to deescalate the/a situation, NOT perform strong arm tactics, in this case literally. If they had firearms, I am sure they would have been pulled, even used. Utter thugs, no question about that. No justification is possible for they way they behaved. Zilch.

Mamil Posted December 27, 2019 Share Also - I've met Nic Dlamini (not that he'd remember - I smiled a greeting at him in a bike shop) - he is hardly a large and intimidating character - about 5'8" and 64kg in his bibs I'd estimate.

Quintus Posted December 27, 2019 Share A visible SANparks permit board on the bars might be a viable solution to avoid future confrontation with the rangers. Could SANparks be so progressive? AdamA, Vaalhaai and Hairy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattlesnake Posted December 27, 2019 Share I hope Nicolas takes this further as he should. Excessive force has been used - Donovan is a credible witness. Hairy, Vetplant, DieselnDust and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan888 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Do SANparks break the arms of the muggers that attack cyclists and hikers? What do they do to those that murder hikers? Quagga, DieselnDust, DJR and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted December 27, 2019 Share Just adding my utter condemnation of totally unnecessary force used. I wish Nick a speedy recovery and I know it will not hurt them, but tomorrow morning I will NOT go to Silvermine. Harryn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
