Western Cape MEC of Transport and Public Robin Carlisle has condemned the attack of a motorist by a group of cyclists which was caught on camera.
The cyclists are shown in the video
punching and attacking the motorist with a bicycle wheel in Sea Point over the
weekend.
MEC Carlisle said the video shows a serious
lack of consideration for other occupying the shared space that is our
roads.
Ministerial Spokesperson Sipheshile Dube
said what is apparent from the recording is that the cyclists were riding in
contravention of the law. The law
specifically states outside of a cycling event, cyclists must ride in single file
on the open roads.
“We will be keeping a close eye on this
investigation and hope we are confident that the perpetrators will be brought
to justice” Dube added.
