He was driving a Maserati.He was seen leaving the police station yesterday morning after being released on bail of R500.
A police spokesperson confirmed this to Die Burger. “Yes, you can say so,” he said in response to a question about whether it was indeed Yengeni, and whether he had been arrested for drunken driving.
Yengeni was also arrested for drunken driving in Goodwood, Cape Town in November 2007.
