A minibus taxi driver, who was arrested for culpable homicide and drunken driving, dragged a cyclist for over half a kilometre before he was stopped.
Rustenburg – A minibus taxi driver was arrested for drunken driving and culpable homicide after he hit two cyclists in Gallo Manor north of Johannesburg on Sunday, Johannesburg metro police said.

In a separate accident in Kyalami, a motorcyclist was injured after a collision with a vehicle on the corners of Woodmead Drive and Dytchley Road in Barbeque Downs, Kyalami.
