I didn’t know that Mofaya contained alcohol. No, but that’s what he has always been drinking lately. I’m just asking!
Leope, who was recently fired from the SABC commercial radio station for ambush marketing, was caught by Randfontein police for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol in the wee hours of yesterday morning.
He was, according to information received, driving back from an ANC rally in Rustenburg, North West, when he was nabbed by officers after they noticed a white Porsche allegedly zigzagging in the middle of a road in the Randfotein CBD.
Police spokesman Tsekiso Mofokeng confirmed that Leope was arrested for drunk driving and spent several hours in police holding cells before he was released on bail.
“I can confirm that the driver was arrested by the police as he was caught driving under the influence of alcohol,” he said.
Sunday World learnt that the controversial DJ and “owner” of the energy drink Mofaya threw tantrums when police approached him.
He was released on R1500 bail and will appear in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court later this year.
This is not the first time the DJ has found himself in trouble with the police.
In 2007, Leope, who was still a presenter at Ukhozi FM, was nabbed for speeding in a sponsored Audi TT. He was fined R7000 and also handed a nine-month sentence suspended for three years.
The German car makers then withdrew their endorsement deal with him.
Leope was arrested again last year for speeding after the Tshwane metro police allegedly caught him cruising at 172km/h in a 120km zone on the N1 in Pretoria.
He was driving a black Range Rover Evoque at the time of the alleged offence.
Leope was not available for comment.
