The BMW 650i driver was denied on-counter bail by the Ngodwana police and will appear in court on Tuesday to face a speeding charge. 

 Mpumalanga MEC for community safety, security and liaison Gabi Shabalala commended the traffic officers for arresting the man. 

“I’m applauding the police for doing their job well by arresting this driver because speeding is one of main causes of many avoidable deadly crashes on the road,” said Shabalala.
