Taun Update: Finally Arrested today!! So hopefully this is the beginning of the end of his lucrative deceptions. 

Just heard that he borrowed an e-bike from Specialised Stellenbosch last year to do recce for Cederberg MTB , he never returned the bike and then actually sold it🙄. And his landlord been receiving fraudulent pops for quite some time before realising money wasn't reflecting so also has an open saps case against him. 

Feel really sorry for his parents and trying not to feel sorry for him😬

See above from Belinda, he was arrested yesterday.

Thats why a few of the victims need to be present when bail hearing is set. Take an attorney with so they can befriend the state prosecutor in the bail application. 

But, we need to see that he is arrested first - I'd hate to be ahead of the expectations on this one

Can we not go throw eggs at the court appeance?

Lol, you certainly may like every other protest action.

But it'll be better to be a part of the victim brigade and show support to the state to oppose bail

I can't say for certain but from all my searching yesterday it seems he was at the premises when he was taken into custody. Maybe Belinda knows more.

Mike looks like the kind of guy that causes you to wake up in the midde of the night and check your closets. I dont know the man and certainly wouldnt want him knocking at my front door.

At least he seems like the guy that will get all the case numbers together and deliver the case with a bow-tie to the prosecution .....

He will get bail with certain conditions imposed like reporting weekly and handing over his passport.  According to SA law a person is assumed not guilty until found guilty so I would not worry about him getting bail. What is important is that all his victims file charges and cooperate with the investigating officer(s) and despite the inconvenience attend court to testify . Die wiel draai stadig but after many years he will get what he deserves.

A couple of questions: has anyone actually done any of Taun's events? There seems to be many advertised last couple years , Cederberg and Overberg, all on Western Cape Mountain bike FB.

I have posted on that group as a warning to others and my posts have been removed and today not accepted at all. Is it run by Taun fans or family I'm wondering? If they know these events never happen surely it is good to take them off the site? Or did some of the events actually take place?
