- A former deputy chief of the Tshwane metro police was arrested for alleged
drunk driving in Pretoria on Saturday, the metro police said.
"He was arrested at the intersection of Madiba and Sophie de Bruyn
[streets] after he was involved in an accident," Senior Superintendent
Isaac Mahamba said.
The former deputy chief was allegedly found to be under the influence of
alcohol when he was tested. The other motorist was sober.
"The former [deputy] chief allegedly threatened officers. They
arrested him and booked him at the Pretoria central police station. He is in
custody as we speak," he said.
"No one is above the law. Tshwane metro police will make sure that
the city is safe."
He said most accidents were caused by human error.
