New Age2.png Vavi 'speedy' to slam the media Ntombi Nkosi, The New Age, Johannesburg, 6 October 2015 Former COSATU leader Zwelinzima Vavi has accused the media of an agenda against him after he appeared in the Edenvale Magistrate's Court yesterday for a speeding offence. He is accused of exceeding 120km/h on the Albertina Sisulu R24 freeway early on Sunday with reports suggesting he was driving at 207km/h which he denied on Twitter.

Another message read: "Will appear again on November 4, intend to make presentations to court, I obviously can't comment now till all processes are concluded." Vavi was among six speeding motorists who were arrested on the R24. Ekurhuleni metro police department spokesperson Kobeli Mokheseng confirmed the arrests in a statement. Mokheseng said between 5am and 11am on the R24 freeway between Barbara and Edenvale bridges, metro police officers conducted speed checks for motor vehicles travelling towards the east and west. "Six motorists were arrested for exceeding the 120km/h speed limit. Among the six detained, a 52-year-old man with a female passenger was caught doing 182km/h at 6.09am." In 2013, Vavi was the centre of a "rape" and "extortion" scandal. [email protected] From: http://tnaepaper.co.za/ -- -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
