ECAPE SOLDIER, WARDER ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING
Eight people, including an SANDF corporal and a prison warder were arrested for drunken driving during a roadblock on the N2 outside Butterworth, Eastern Cape police said on Sunday.
Spokesman Captain Jackson Manatha said the 41-year-old prison warder was the worst offender, with a blood alcohol level of 1.69 percent.
"The 37-year-old corporal's results were 0.8 percent." The legal limit was 0.2 percent.
He said the officials and six others arrested with them paid bail of R1000 each.
They were expected to appear in the Butterworth Magistrate's Court on Monday.
"This is a warning that zero tolerance will apply to all irrespective of their status."
Manatha said they had recently dealt with a public prosecutor who had also been caught behind the wheel while drunk.
