‘I just felt burning pain’: Bikers are being stoned by criminals

John Maytham speaks to Ricardo Jacobs, motorcyclist.

Listen to the interview in the audio below.

Criminals have been targetting motorcyclists on the R300 and N2.

Thugs have been throwing bricks at them while they are driving and then robbing them once they crash.

One motorcyclist was killed in one of these incidents last month.

Jacobs says that he was attacked while travelling from Bellville.

It was load shedding at the time, and he suddenly saw two people in the dark who threw stones to try and make him crash.

“Luckily I could hold it together. I just felt a huge burning pain on my leg.”
