GVN granted Licence, but must go to anger management

PRESS RELEASE


The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at the Licencing Committee Meeting held in Johannesburg today, Jockey Grant van Niekerk was licenced as a Jockey with certain conditions attached.

Mr van Niekerk’s Jockey licence was withdrawn on 6 April 2020, whilst riding under the Rules of the Hong Kong Jockey Club due to a non-racing, conduct related matter.

The Licencing Committee ruled that Mr van Niekerk be provisionally licenced for a period from 19 June 2020 to 18 September 2020 on condition that he enrols in and completes an Anger and Stress Management Course as determined by the NHA.
Upon proof of completion of the course, the Licencing Committee will consider issuing Mr van Niekerk a more permanent Riding Licence

Good for him, especially now with the
GBV pandemic in SA.
He'll pay to follow for sure, watch the
winners coming in.

Can't wait for his return

I’m not as forgiving

Agree Bob. Especially after Cyrils speech.

What EXACTLY did he do?

Bob,I worked in the hospitality industry for many years,the shit that went down with Celebs,politicians,Captains of Industry and religious leaders would make your blood boil.These same people that committed horrendous acts were fawned upon and praised as pillars of the community ,which was sickening to watch in the media whilst I was aware of what they had been party too.Unfortunately my position forbade me to speak about what transpired.

Perhaps its time to write a book

He was doing so well in HK.
For him it will probably be like taking his Ferrari away and replacing it with a Fiat Uno............

“What defines us is how well we rise after falling”

Best of luck to him.

So no one knows or is willing to disclose the whole story?
It would be good to know the truth.
Why are we so scared to disclose a bad deed by a jockey?

If people are "not so forgiving", they probably know more than most.

At least, I hope so :dry:
