One of the LCG riders, Piet Smit was attacked on Sunday afternoon on the <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />

Kaapsehoop Rd

just after he did a U Turn at the farm house on the right after the Matafin turnoff, they tried to hit him off his bike with a quart bottle but he managed not to fall and got away with a busted knee. It would appear that these guys are opportunistic and operate in the afternoons probably looking for easy shabeen money, as far as I know, no attacks have taken place in the early morning.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Please advise your riders not to ride alone and I would suggest in minimum of 3s, even 2 women would not be safe, and as can be seen from the previous attack, do not separate ride at the speed of the slowest.

This is about the 6th attack this year and 1 was with a panga, most in exactly the same place next to an informal settlement. nothing gets done.
