Five months after crashing his McLaren 570S coupe while allegedly speeding down High-Level Road in Sea Point, a Nigerian rapper is finally set to have his day in court.

The accident happened<\/a> early on Saturday 1 March. Two people sustained injuries after the driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle and hit the pavement.

Eric Ntabazalila, the regional spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), confirmed that the NPA will \u201cprosecute the matter\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver will face charges related to reckless or negligent driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis follows an investigation that was conducted and the docket forwarded to the NPA for a decision. The last time I checked, this week, the summons had not been served to the accused yet and no date had been set for his appearance.\u201d

Sgt Wesley Twigg, provincial police spokesperson, told People’s Post<\/em>\u00a0that the case docket is still at the office of the Senior State Prosecutor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said police are waiting “on the outcome of the decision”.

Herman Lategan, a journalist and writer who was raised in Sea Point and has lived in Green Point for the past forty years, said speeding on the Atlantic Seaboard has increased significantly over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat many drivers forget is that this is a built-up area, not a highway,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere\u2019s a shocking lack of visible policing or traffic enforcement. Where are the traffic officers? You rarely see them.\u201d

Lategan also questioned the leniency shown to offenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt seems that people who speed and cause accidents often get off with little more than a slap on the wrist. Why are these crimes, because that\u2019s what they are, not taken seriously by our courts?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some residents took to social media to share their frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One resident said: \u201cSea Point (and Cape Town) needs more raised intersections. Ambulance and fire trucks can still go over them, but all vehicles need to slow down to pass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another resident said speeding cars are a recurring issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis kind of activity happens every weekend from Bakoven to Hout Bay and back through Constantia. There is a circuit that doesn\u2019t get policed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While another resident feels that more visible policing is needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need more ghost cars out there at night where criminals who cause havoc on our roads are locked up immediately at the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
