MaxUmis Posted September 23, 2014 Share A while ago we were doing the single track below the bridges when we (5 of us) were approached by a male about 40 years old, he had no shirt or shoes and said that he had just been robbed at knife-point by two b-males. He was apparently robbed of his bike and cellphone as well as his shoes as i suspect that would take him longer to get help. We reported it to the reserve rangers and they communicated it over the radios. I have no idea of what happened thereafter. I stay clear of the single track and now only ride the conservancy part of the reserve. He was cycling alone... probably made him a easy target.Just to avoid confusion;The "conservancy" trails are Groenkloof.The "single track below the bridges" are referred to as Fountains.

BigDL Posted September 23, 2014 Share Many thanks. I ride the reserve trails quite a lot on my own. The guards have warned me against riding in the fountains section alone. Normally don't see anyone around but was just wondering because I saw a stray looking guy near the fence at the top where the path runs next to the road recently. He didn't appear threatening but didn't look like he belonged either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieVlieg Posted September 24, 2014 Share Anyone want to do Klapperkop trails for about 30 mins or so on Friday morning at 05:30 or 06:00. I only want to go if there is a few people in a group. It is quite light by then and nice and cool still too. Edited September 24, 2014 by DieVlieg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letum911 Posted September 24, 2014 Share I did KK this morning, around 5.45. Came in from Waterkloof's side (Im a bit useless with street names), and took the singletrack that goes left off the tar just after the first left turn, it spits you out at the bottom by the guard house, we were 2 people but didn't see anything funny. The animals were pretty relaxed as well, didn't look as if anything spooked them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Did Klapperkop laps on Saturday. Also spotted two characters in the distance. Did report to the reserve patrol when they pitched up with their quad bike and also later to the police who did patrols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letum911 Posted September 29, 2014 Share I heard from a nurse that they stitched up a guy that was stabbed 7 times on Klapperkop. Unclear on where on KK it happened and at what time but he was in theater on Saturday to be stitched up. Apparently he was with his wife. Does anyone have any info of this?

Nibali Posted September 29, 2014 Share A friend of mine and her fiancée was attacked on Klapperkop Friday evening. I think it's the couple that Letum911 is referring to. They stole the lady's jewellery (luckily not her engagement ring) and her fiancée was stabbed a few times. Both of them are OK, the guy needed some stitches and the lady has a few bruises, luckily they didn't try anything with her. It's getting hectic up there...

DieVlieg Posted September 29, 2014 Share So the problem is getting worse not better in the east. There vagrants besetting most empty fields in the east too. Initiatives like a critical mass is necessary where people get together and reclaim vacant land as safe areas. There are too many of these stories floating around. It is even threatening communities that live in the areas close to these fields. We are already hearing of attacks in "Protected" areas like Groenkloof. Definately just avoiding unsafe areas wont work. We need to infest these areas in a safe manner and by our presence show we are not afaraid.

The couple I'm talking about was older, the guy is a "Dominee" of some sort, older people if I understood correctly. And they were attacked while cycling. Unfortunately she can't give me names etc due to confidentiality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she got all the needed medical tests and checks done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
