A planned Sunday afternoon joyride turned into a horror experience after a group of motorcycle riders drove into an area where an initiation school was in progress.

A man who responded to a call for help and ended up being in the midst of negotiations, spoke to the Middelburg Observer but requested for his name to be withheld.

He said that eight young men went for a joyride in the veld between Botshabelo and Avalon. One of the motorcycles broke down and the driver phoned for someone to come pick him up in a vehicle.

Another motorcyclist stayed with him whilst he pushed his bike out of the mountainous area where they were riding in the direction of the Loskopdam Road. The motorcyclist said that at one stage he saw a large group of men walking his way and he assumed that they were coming to help him.

Things took a turn for the worst from there. The group confronted the motorcyclists, asking them what they were doing in the area and threatening to assault them. The motorcyclist who pushed his bike, left it behind and jumped on the back of his friend’s motorcycle to escape the group of men.

When they later returned, with a pickup truck to load the motorcycle they left behind, they were informed that the motorcycle was taken by the initiates.

A large group of people, belonging to safety organisations in Middelburg, responded to a call for assistance and gathered some 800 metres away from the initiation camp.

The situation was tense, with some of the men involved in negotiations for the motorcycle, being held against their will and assaulted in the process.

Never leave home without extra fuel and spare parts when there are herds of walkers around.
 
This will only happen in South Africa. Other African countries would be glad to assist. What has made people turn like they are in South Africa?

One isn't allowed to cross paths with initiates. If you spot them from a distance, change direction or hide. If they notice you're making attempts to get out of their way, they won't bother you. Don't take pictures. Of course there are rogue elements.

Was it on a private road ?

If not then they must get stuffed.

So then why did they volunteer to cross paths. The initiates I mean.

Surely if it's not allowed then they were the ones to break their own rules?
