Witbank SAPS appeals to community to find deceased cyclist’s next of kin

Police have released a description of the man's clothing and personal items in hopes that a family member or friend might recognise him.

SAPS has issued an appeal to the community following a tragic collision that claimed the life of a cyclist.

The incident occurred on January 14, at around 18:10, along Verena Road, when the cyclist was struck by a motorist and sadly died at the scene.

At the time of the accident, the man was wearing a red t-shirt, black jeans, a black Adidas jacket, and a black cap. He was also carrying a black Nike backpack.

“We appeal to the community to assist the police in ensuring that the deceased’s family is informed and given the opportunity to lay their loved one to rest with dignity. Any information, no matter how small, may be of assistance,” said the Witbank SAPS acting station commander, Colonel Nhlanhla Kgosana,
The police are asking anyone who may recognise the description of the man or who has information that could help trace his next of kin to come forward.
Anyone with information can contact the investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Mandla Zita, at 078 594 2783.
