More about the incident:

I was travelling down Garsfontein Rd when I stopped to fix a broken chain. Whilst busy a vehicle (white bakkie with high rise canopy, which had a nose cone and double doors on the back) stopped and two people emerged, I could see the one was armed with a knife. The other was little out of my line of sight, but clearly holding something in his tracksuits top (front belly pocket). They told me to lie down, while they loaded my bike and accessories. They jumped back-in and drove off.  It was over in seconds and very well organized. This wasn't a opportunistic crime and convinced this is a syndicate operating.
