WITH the nickname like Kae kapa Kae, you expect Dear Godfather to be a mean guy.

Vincent Khoza (62), from Mohlakeng near Randfontein, west of Joburg, is the road captain of his fellow bikers. He keeps other bikers’ disciplined.

But Vincent has a soft side too. He said: “I love it when the rumble of my big machine makes all the kids excited.”

Dear Godfather was a Big 15 Moroka Swallows soccer player and DJ – he used to spin discs with Treasurer Tshabalala and DJ Gayane at Soweto clubs.

Q: What bike do you ride?

A: It is a 1 000cc Kawasaki Ninja. I bought it in 2010.

Q: When did you start to ride?

A: Back in the late 1980s.

Q: Is this your first bike?

A: No, I have owned three others but this is my favourite.

Q: Do you belong to a bike club?

A: I belong to the Eagles, a West Rand bikers’ club.

Q: Do you have a position?

A: I am the road captain. I keep the members disciplined. I ride at the back and watch the riders that they don’t break the rules.

I also make sure that none of the members have been drinking before getting on their bikes. I take their keys away if they have.

Rule breaking members also get big fines.

Q: Why did you choose green and black?

A: Because I love that colour combo.

Q: Are you licensed?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you have fines?

A: Not even one.

Q: What do you tell other Mzansi bikers?

A: Always know that people appreciate when you don’t speed. Your safety gear and helmet are priorities. Respect traffic officers and the rules of the road.
