Roslyn van der Merwe, Cleton’s mother thanked everyone one who supported her son.
“It was heart-warming to see all the people turn up for Luke,” she said. It is unclear what exactly occurred before an injured Luke was found on the road.

McDonald’s Alberton pledged to donate 10% of all its sales from one specific point of sales for Luke Cleton, the Alberton High learner who landed in hospital after a motorcycle accident.
The fast food retailer’s senior management will do a handover of the funds to Cleton’s mother, close relatives, and family friends.
