Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal Road Traffic Inspectorate is looking for a former Generations soapie star and lead actor in the Isibaya TV series, after he was allegedly clocked travelling at 153km/h north of Durban on Wednesday.
RTI spokeswoman Zinhle Mngomezulu said Siyabonga Twala was stopped by officers from the inspectorate’s Groutville office while allegedly speeding on the N2 near Ballito in a borrowed car shortly before 10am on Wednesday .
Mngomezulu said Senior Traffic Inspector SP Dlamini took down Twala's details and handed his licence back to him, but Twala failed to wait to receive his R1500 fine for speeding.
SIMPLY DROVE OFF
“The officer managed to take down his details but then he drove away,” she said. “He can be arrested because he failed to comply with the lawful instructions of an officer.”
She said the Dlamini had taken details of the licence and was inserting other details on the form, such as the date by when Twala needed to pay the fine, when Twala simply got in the car and drove off.
Mngomezulu said Twala told Dlamini “he was rushing for a meeting with our head of department”.
“I asked my head of department but he said he had no idea what I was talking about.”
She said that when the RTI tracked the vehicle's owner, the owner said he “had an agreement” that Twala could use the vehicle.
