The minister visited the cyclist in hospital on Friday to hear the turn of events directly from him.

“I had the opportunity to visit Nic at the hospital where he is undergoing treatment. I have instructed SANParks, the chairperson and senior management of SANParks to suspend the officers who were involved in this incident.

Creecy said while all the facts were yet to be obtained, from what she had seen in the circulating video clip, it appeared that the officers “behaved in a highly inappropriate manner”. “Their aggression was evident not only in their attitude toward Nic Dlamini, but also towards other cyclists on the scene who recorded the incident.The premier added that the incident had revealed the fractured relationship between the cycling community and SANParks and said his office would be establishing a round table discussion in a bid to repair the relationship.

In a statement, Dlamini’s cycling team, NTT Pro Cycling, said following the incident, the 24-year-old was taken to False Bay Hospital where X-rays were taken, and it was confirmed that he had suffered a fracture of his left humerus. He was then transferred to another hospital for further specialist consultation, they said.

Without condoning what happened..shes certainly jumping the gun

How do you suspend people who did their work before a proper internal investigation? This is against labour practice of SA. So what you are doing finding them guilty before a court or a hearing ruling.

This is the typical political reaction...

but how why without even hearing their side of the story nah this is not leadership
