In the video, which was posted on Twitter, the actor can be seen surrounded by policemen as he is being handcuffed and later taken away. In the background, a man speaking isiZulu can be heard complaining about how the “celebrity knocked a car”.
“Look at how you’ve bumped this car because you’re drunk,” he can be heard saying to the star as the camera shows two cars which have been severely damaged as a result of a collision.
