Relief for local bikers as Mantshwabisi licence granted

Tuesday, May 08, 2018

Local motorcycle riders have been granted permission to compete at this year's edition of the 1000km Toyota Dessert Race (TDR) after weeks of confusion, race organiser, South Africa Cross Country Series (SACCS) has announced.

The SACCS had announced that bikers should carry a valid road licence and must not be under the age of 18.  The decision sparked a lot of criticism from local bikers as many of them do not carry a road licence, but the Botswana Motor Sport (BMS) and the Motorsport South Africa (MSA) licences.

However last Friday, the SACCS announced that riders with both the MSA and BMS licences have been granted permission to compete at the country’s most sought-after road race.
