Too many Mozambicans possibly? The streets aren't paved in gold anymore

Ok. But has this foreign bicycle attrition thing been proved yet?

Those are some expensive bikes, must have been a number of thugs to attack 3 bikers.

Not sure, it is just a theory. Not many guys have been prosecuted if they have been caught.

You mean generally, or for bicycle 'borrowing' in particular?

The way I see it, most of the scumbags being caught for violent crimes these days, are Mozambicans. I know it is a generalisation, but that it is the impression I got. (and then most of them are youngsters. JuJu's "hired help" perhaps?)

Both, and if they do, its likely a slap on the wrist.

Is this Mooiplaas close to Erasmia? I have been chased around there before. Too close to Attridgeville. Erasmia police was not interested in my story.

Sad to hear. Hope for speedy recovery. I do not go out on the bike anymore.

Ya, when a sever PK is needed instead, and not on the wrist either!

I received this e-mail this morning.

"Hi everyone

Just thought I would let you know that P..... N.., his sons D.... and F.... were bike jacked yesterday in Raslouw near the chicken farm. I am not sure exactly where that is, but for those of you who might sometimes cycle in that area, please be alert. 3 bikes and cellphones taken. P..... is going in for surgery at 8 this morning to repair his arm that was broken (a rock was thrown at him) and to assess the damage. He might have to then have a second operation on Friday. Please keep him in your prayers."
