Calls for justice after driver hits runners
Cape Argus
|June 23, 2025
A CAPE Town man continues to make court appearances on charges relating to driving under the influence of alcohol and negligent driving, after two runners were rammed in Bantry Bay.
The man made his latest appearance in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Friday, where the matter was postponed for further investigation.
The incident, which was filmed on March 30, was caught on CCTV footage along Victoria Road, Bantry Bay, and shows how the runners were hit, one of whom was flung into the air and landed in nearby bush and rock terrain along the coast.
Police initially confirmed the man's arrest and that he was detained and charged.
The DA's National Council of Provinces member on security and justice, Nicholas Gotsell, said he has since written to Police Commissioner Thembisile Patekile regarding cases of reckless and negligent driving.
