Two of the drivers had alcohol of around five times the legal limit in their breath samples, and the other was nearly twice the limit.

"The legal limit for drivers with public driving permits is 0.1mg/L, which meant that he was nearly five times over the legal limit. The driver was also served with 17 outstanding warrants.

"At 7.40am, a 24-year-old taxi driver from Nyanga East was stopped. He had 10 passengers in the vehicle on route from Nyanga to Goodwood. The driver’s breath-alcohol sample was found to be nearly twice that of the legal limit."
