HKJC on website:
“The Licensing Committee today withdrew the Club Jockey’s Licence previously issued to Grant van Niekerk with immediate effect. This decision was as a result of a conduct-related matter which does not pertain to any race riding or other racing integrity-related matter.”
Mr van Niekirk on Instagram:
“Hi all. We found ourselves in a dispute on the 2nd of April 2020, where a very unfortunate accident occurred. It resulted in my girlfriend having a foot injury. I dearly regret the accident that resulted in the injury. People have taken it upon themselves to speculate what could have occurred. False accusations and allegations have been made by the public. We have since made the decision to move forward as a couple. This private and personal matter resulted in my [licence] being revoked by the [Hong Kong Jockey Club]. It has been an [honour] racing in Hong Kong. I will forever be thankful for the opportunity the HKJC gave me. Hopefully I get the opportunity to be back soon. We are excited to see what the future holds for us both.”
