Omesh Ramnarain is facing two counts of culpable homicide, one of drunken driving and reckless and negligent driving. 


It's believed the accused was travelling on the M4 Ruth First Highway when he struck the two men who were part of a larger group out on a training ride. 


The National Prosecuting Authority's Natasha Ramkisson says the case has been postponed.


"He's been released on bail of R10 000 with bail conditions that he reports to his nearest police station by-weekly. The matter has been adjourned to March 30 for further investigation," she said.
