Michael Dladla believes it was only the “hand of God” that prevented him from joining the long list of cyclists killed on SA roads.
Durban - Michael Dladla believes it was only the “hand of God” that prevented him from joining the long list of cyclists who have been killed in road accidents due to the negligence of motorists.
However, in light of the incident, prominent members of the cycling fraternity ramped-up calls, once again, for the government to provide more protection for cyclists.“My life could have ended, like Burry Stander, had it not been for God and my helmet,” said Dladla. On the day in question, he was leading the group, which included two teenagers from crime-ravaged Hammarsdale, who have excelled on the local and international cycling scene.
Dladla said one of the driver’s friends attended to him before police and paramedics arrived on the scene.Dladla was taken to a local clinic for treatment. Alec Lenferna, KZN Cycling’s chief operating officer, said Dladla was a valuable member of his organisation and a good coach who was well liked.
