two hands Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Who's keen to watch a few Olympic and World Champions and our local hitters go toe-to-toe in Kayamandi? Jolanda Neff v Tyler Jacobs, Charlie Aldridge and Sam Gaze v Luke Moir and Michael Foster? Come watch. It is a great day out!

BuffsVintageBikes Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I'm always torn between supporting this event or giving it the middle finger.

Yeah no, it just doesn't work for me, it's just a little too ironic. Until something gets done about cyclists safety in the area, I'll steer clear of this initiative... again.

ajnkzn Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Ja 100%. Tell the community that unless they step up self policing and reporting of tsotsis, the event and Songo’s funding goes elsewhere. Simple. BuffsVintageBikes, Reg Lizard and W Smith 3

If you're sheltering known criminals then you're part of the problem rather than the solution. I know it's not that simple but I also don't have all the answers.
