thanks. I think this is relevant to the discussion topic since the numbers are important.

I'm surprised to see that the figures here have bicycle fatalities higher than motorbike. I'm not sure if the dataset is actual deaths, if a taxi drives into a bunch of cyclists killing one, it could be 1 minibus and 6 bicycles counted in the stats here. It also doesn't include pedestrians as a line item, when we know they defintely get killed by cars often.

From the other source you posted, it's a pie chart where I guess it gets rounded down to zero so somewhere below 0.5%

 

 

The only reason I knew about it, is I would help with the setup of the graphs. My wife didn't have office on her computer, so I would do it for her and she converted this to a vector image, as magazine printing requires (or required) 300dpi. It's all electronic now, and she doesn't do it anymore (they went internal).

The reports also show the number of licenced, unlicenced, roadworthy and unroadworthy vehicles, as well as the number of traffic offenses committed daily (15k country wide per week). 

Here's another table for 2017/18 (available on Arrive Alive's website):

Cars don't kill other people, people losing control of their vehicle kill other people

Do I understand it correctly that he was released on warning and not on bail?

Considering he attempted to flee the murder scene, he should not have been released at all.

Sounds like he was not formally charged, thus no bail?

State needs to do further investigation ?

they're probably still waiting for the blood tox results to formally charge him appropriately.

This is always a huge gamble

According to Jacanews:

He faces, culpable homicide, negligent driving, failure to render assistance, and driving under the influence of a substance.

Nyatlo, who was driving a white SUV Porsche that, was released from police custody last week due to a lack of evidence.

Seriously?!

Sadly this case will go nowhere 3months to investigate, .....,he still had to be arrested, charged and then released on bail.

1(a) An accused who is in custody in respect of an offense shall,  subject to the provisions of section 50 (6), be entitled to be released on bail at any stage preceding his or her conviction in respect of such offense, if the court is satisfied that the interests of justice so permit.

A person arrested for culpable homicide after a traffic collision, or for drunk driving where he caused the death of another person, cannot without the above grounds be kept in custody without being entitled to be released on bail.

Who knows, no doubt more info materialises as the investigation and trial roll out.
