A 30-years-old man was sentenced to two years in prison for drunk and driving.
Thembani Suprice Hlungwani was sentenced to two in jail or a fine of R24 000, by the Lulekani Magistrate's Court.
The Limpopo MEC for Transport and Community Safety Makoma Makhurupetje said she is thrilled with the sentence given to Hlungwane.
Hlungwani was arrested on the 08 July 2017 in a drunken driving operation by the Mopani Drunken Driving Unit.
He pleaded guilty, after blood testvresults came back positive at 0.15mg.
“We hope the sentence will send a strong message to those who continue to ignore our warning that Limpopo is a Zero Tolerance Zone, to those who disobey the rules of the road.”
Credit must be given to our hardworking men and women in uniform for their continued diligence in discharging their work without fear or favour,” Makhurupetje said.
His driver’s licence was suspended for 6 months.
