A specialised task team, put together to track down and catch a gang of armed robbers terrorising cyclists in Pretoria, is hot on the heels of the robbers.

The attacks, which occurred near Irene over the past three weeks, have left Pretoria mother, Mathilda Barnard, 39, fighting for her life in Unitas Hospital after her throat was slashed.

The latest attack occurred on Wednesday evening when a cyclist cycling along a footpath near the train track leading to the Irene railway station, was beaten with a plank before he was hit over the head with a bottle.
