“While running today, I got hit and run by a car. I’m okay, thank God, but what traumatised me is when the nurse at the hospital told me how common hit-and-run patients are in South Africa,” he shared.

Slikour urged fellow joggers and pedestrians to be on the lookout.

“I know there’s a community of us doing our jogs and walks I’d like to appeal to you to please be vigilante. These perpetrators don’t care about you and your health goals or whatever gets you up,” he added.

In a light-hearted moment, the founder of SlikourOnLife also joked that he wouldn't have ended up in the hospital if he had listened to different music during his run.

“Also, I know if I was listening to Kendrick and not Drake on my pods, this wouldn’t have happened to me,” he joked.

Slikour emphasised his warning to fellow joggers and expressed gratitude that the incident had not taken a turn for the worse.
