Shockwaves are still spreading through the country after two cyclists were killed on Sunday.
The tragedy occurred just four days before the South African cycling championships, which begin in the same area on Thursday.

At least one family has since decided to withdraw from the championships.
The two cyclists died in a collision along the R82 (old Johannesburg road) near Walkerville.
The deceased have been identified as 49-year-old Jayesh Madhav and 52-year-old Atish Raman Jeevan, both members of the Lenasia cycling community.

A group of cyclists, including Protea and Nelspruit cyclist Megan Botha, were supposed to be training on the route at the same time. However, their appointment was delayed by an hour, and they later discovered the accident.

Heartbreaking scenes unfolded at the scene of the accident, with shocked cyclists comforting each other along the road.
One cyclist said it was one thing to see a car accident, but to see cyclists being hit and killed was heartbreaking.

The president of Mpumalanga Cycling, Danie Botha, said this morning that he would like to know how many joggers and cyclists are hit on a Saturday or Sunday morning, “This is usually the time when people are coming from places to hang out. We will have to protect ourselves better by having a vehicle behind, or there should be more law enforcement on these days.”
