Sadly this "element" has now taken Groenies over and all the talk and no action means it is not safe there anymore. I read it was an overseas visitor the got mugged.

PieterJvR Posted November 10, 2014 Share Very glad to hear you are ok, well done! Does anyone how safe is rosemary hill and the surronding gravel roads in pta east?Me and a mate cycle to Rosemary Hill from the Silver Lakes area almost every weekend and have never had any issues there. We pass a few people on the gravel roads and have never felt threatened - but we do stay alert. No issues at Rosemary Hill either.

wiledog_x Posted November 14, 2014 Share things are not well at Groenkloof at all.... in Friday's Pretoria News is an article about corruption and all kinds of tensions in management at Groenies.... no wonder it's going like it is.

Cois Posted November 17, 2014 Share Me and a mate cycle to Rosemary Hill from the Silver Lakes area almost every weekend and have never had any issues there. We pass a few people on the gravel roads and have never felt threatened - but we do stay alert. No issues at Rosemary Hill either.One thing I will never do again is go cycling in that area after work. Took the GS out one afternoon to shoot a sunset.The number of Taxi's on those roads (gravel roads) were insane! They all pick that route as a semi direct route to Mamelodi.Was one day I really hated, even though I did two things I loved...

jagwil Posted November 27, 2014 Share Just had news of another attack on Cornwall Hill yesterday evening at around 5 to 5.30. Cyclist knocked off his bike by 5 black men armed with knives. Tied him up with wire after roughing him up a bit. Took his bike and cell phone and left him tied up. Reported missing and eventually found, tied up and lying in the bushes, at around 7.30. Taken to hospital by ambulance. Seems to have happened just below the reservoir opposite Cornwall Hill. This shouldn't happen but rather stupid to cycle there alone at that time of day.

GlockG4 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Very glad to hear that he is ok. It saddensme that it has become so dangerous to cycle alone, to find someone to cycle with all the time is not always possible, with the results in staying at home or when out cycling you never relax and clear your mind.
