Cloete led Outdoor Urban Fitness sessions on the Promenade lawn and those who regularly visit the area will have seen him out and about.

He had moved to Cape Town from Johannesburg after narrowly surviving a cycling accident in early 2021.

The first accident occurred when he was hit by a vehicle during a training run. It resulted in him being declared clinically dead four times and in a coma for a month.

However, Cloete eventually made a full recovery from the accident and subsequently moved to Cape Town where he started his fitness boot camps in Sea Point.

He was unable to survive the latest accident, details of which have not yet been made public.

A Facebook user, who wished to remain anonymous, shared his opinion on the platform. The user shared ‘in light of the recent news of another fatal bicycle accident in CT, I thought about making a post about the impatience of CT drivers, especially on the Atlantic coast where so many sports people train, children and families enjoy the area with their pets. Especially the speed on the road and the impatience at traffic lights are becoming ridiculous!’

“A few seconds of delay won’t make you move faster, but it can be a fatal change in someone’s life,” the user concluded.
