Unfortunately, this has left so many people arguing whether this is a Durban culture issue or if they should be punished accordingly for an out-of-the-ordinary incident.

“Races have been taking place there probably for more than 20 years. Racers and onlookers definitely understand the risks involved. But in this case, it was not the guy ’racing’ who caused it. The driver of the white van would have caused an accident even for someone that was not racing,” (sic) was one of the comments by Facebook user Shanelle Alexandria Samuel said
